Hi, a) if you save a vector format like EPS ther should be no loss of quality b) what may the option ImageSize do ? when you use Export[] ??? Regards Jens "kevin_jazz" <kevinbowman at mac.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:ea72nn$k6u$1 at smc.vnet.net... | Hi, | | I'm trying to understand how Mathematica generates graphics within | notebooks and how they are exported. I'm running Mathematica 5.2 on OS | 10.4.6. I've generated a listplot | lplot = ListPlot[....] | | The size of the initial graphics that are produced from this plot is | small relative to the notebook. Furthermore, the axes labels are | written over the axes themselves. Overall the graphic looks | "scrunched". If I export this graphic using Export["file.eps", lplot], | I get a faithful, albeit unattractive representation of the graphic. | | On the other hand, if I take my cursor and drag the graphic in my | notebook to a larger size, e.g., 12" wide, then the graphic looks good. | I then click on the graphic and then menu Edit >> Save Selection As.. | >> EPS... | This approach produces a faithful production of the graphic and it | looks better. | | So, I suppose Mathematica has some default graphic size that is too | small. How do I increase it? | | I've looked at the options unders Preferences but I don't really know | which one to look at. | | I would be please to send anyone interested the eps files of the | graphics to which I've been referring. | | Thank you in advance for your time. | | Kevin Bowman |
