Hello,
I've just received some feedback from a journal that the figures I
created with iTools has lines that are simply too thick for
publication. I saved the figure as a vector-based .eps file so this
isn't a low-res bitmap. The figure has quite a few lines on it
(contours, vectors and trajectories) and I recall trying to make the
lines thinner when I originally created the figure. A co-worker opened
the file in CorelDraw 12 and was able to change all of the 1 px lines
to 0.25 - 0.50 px which should satisfy the journal. Nevertheless, I'd
very much like a way to get thinner lines when using iMap/iPlot. I
fiddled for a few hours this morning to get fractional line widths into
the iPlot dialog boxes but to no avail. Adding a few fractional
thicknesses in the drop-down menu would be great (i.e. 0.25, 0.5, 0.75)
but I don't really understand why the thickness cannot be varied to any
decimal value? My older routines using map_set and contour gave .eps
plots with much thinner lines but I would hate to go back to
non-interactive graphics with what I'm working on at the moment.
Thanks.
Dave
