HI all - I agree with Andres's assessmemt - and I used the 'print' menu item to get all my figures.
I did have to do one stupid thing which was to increase the font size from 10 to about 11.5 (I think) on all the text - I made a sed script to find and change the appropriate bits in the postscript file - oherwise the text comes out differently in teh postscript than it did on the screen. cheers Miller On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 04:58:10PM +0200, András Murányi wrote: > On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 4:31 PM, Hans Roels <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I need pictures of > 300 dpi of a Pd patch to publish them in an article. > > I generated postscript files with 'print' in the menu but the copy editor > > wants a better quality.
