Hi IDL gurus,
I finally got to the point that my nice IPLOT-created graphs were
accepted for publication. Although I thought I can sleep peacefully
now, the editor just mailed me with the request that the graphs should
have at least 500 dpi resolution.
I was hoping for a simple keyword to quickly fix this fuss, but it
appeared not to be as easy as I initially thought. I fail to see how
to change dpi (or ppi) resolution. On whatever format I try
(e.g. .eps), when opening the graph in Illustrator, the ppi resolution
remains 72 ppi. Can somebody help me out? It would be *very* much
appreciated.
A novice in printing resolutions,
Jochem

Can you tell us how you did this? It would be worth knowing
and writing down somewhere. :-)
Cheers,
David

Hi IDL gurus,
Thanks *a lot* for the help. With some help of Illustrator fixing the
graps was not that hard, the bottle of bourbon was even not needed.
What should I do without this newsgroup? You guys make phd-life
bearable. :)
greetzz,
Jochem

Are you exporting from iPlot using "bitmap" or "vector" format? If you
are doing simple lineplots, then I would recommend exporting to EPS
with vector format, because that is independent of resolution. You
could then import that into another program like Illustrator and dump
it out at 500 DPI or whatever you need. If you have more complicated
graphics with surfaces or something, then you'll need to use bitmap
format. But in the iTools export wizard, you should be able to set the
output dimensions, which should in turn determine the effective DPI.
Hope this helps.
