My book printer requires figures that can be printed at 300 dpi. I
supply them as PNG files embedded into my Framemaker documents. To
create the figures, I simply create PostScript output and then convert
it to PNG with this command:
cgPS2Raster, 'figure.ps', DENSITY=300, RESIZE=100
This gives me an image with enough pixels that it looks great when
printed at 300 dpi. When I import the image into Framemaker, I have to
indicate that it will be printed at 300 dpi. Framemaker then scales it
appropriately for the document on the screen and I see it taking up the
same relative amount of space on my display as it will in the printed
output.
Cheers,
David
