Hi, I do it like this: First just type
ray save junk.png
Read the resolution, multiply by 4 or 5 depending on the intended printed size. Should keep the geometry, which is nice if you have a stereo view.
ray 4*x,4*y save highresolution.png
You can also test different mesh settings like mesh_width

There is also a pymol mailing list, you could ask more detailed questions.

Hi Raja,
here is what I usually do to get a paper-quality picture out of PyMol:
once I have model and maps displayed, I issues these commands:
ray 500,500 png file_name
You need to play with the above numbers to get the picture you like, and it will be saved under file name file_name.png. Since I use Pymol one a year or so, I can't remember what the above "magic" numbers/commands mean.
Pavel.

Dear Friends, Sorry, for the of topic question. Does anyone can tell how to improve the quality of a picture showing the electron density map of dna in a complex using PYMOL. I created the figure, but not happy with the quality as it is now. Might be there is a way to improve which I don't know. I want the lines in the mesh to be more sharp and fine. Any suggested program to prepare a publication quality figure to show the ED map would be of great help. Thanking you in advance... Raja
