Does anyone have an efficient method for generating a high resolution
image of a Mathematica graphic, which can be directly read into MS Word
98 ? Generally, I use the cut/paste approach to move figures into
documents, but in this case, I am working on a very large Word
document, and would like to have only Word active (as opposed to both
Word and Mathematica.) I would also like to be able to save ANY figure
as a stand-alone file, to simplify passing projects results to other
scientists. SO -
I am using a Macintosh 8500 with 128 Mb memory, and Mathematica version
3.0.
I have tried using the following:
graph = Plot [Sin[x], {x,0,20}]
Display["sinplot.tiff", graph, "TIFF"]
This produces a TIFF file on my computer, at a default image resolution
of 72 dpi. Then I tried to improve the resolution, using the
following:
Display ["sinplot.tiff", graph, "TIFF", ImageResolution ->200]
This locks up the computer, crashes the operating system, and does all
sorts of other undesirable things.
I have also tried ImageResolution values of 100, 300, etc., to no avail.
However, the ImageResolution value of 72 DOES work. Obviously, I
don't understand this command as well as I thought. Can someone tell
me what I am doing wrong ?
