This info has been knocking around my email inbox for a long time (rec’d from Wavefunction help on 9\/15\/2009), but while Spartan has moved on to Spartan’10 (’12 or ’13 just around the corner), maybe the advice is still useful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. (Simplest way to raise resolution) Make your molecule as large as you can (to fit the screen), do a print screen = CTRL + Print Scr key, open Paint (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint), paste image, crop image as desired, save it as either: BMP, PNG, JPG. (PNG gives a much smaller file than BMP, but better resolution than JPG)<\/p>\n

2. (This doesn’t affect resolution, but …) Spartan window images can be saved directly as PNG files (File: Save As, file type: PNG).<\/p>\n

3. (Best resolution from inside Spartan) Switch program to debug\/test mode. Hold down CTRL + SHFT when you click on Options: Preferences. A little check box will appear at the top of the Settings Tab called [ ] Test Mode. Checking this puts Spartan in Test mode (opening up some development features not typically available). While not necessarily a good idea to KEEP Spartan in this mode, if you are in test mode you can request a higher resolution surface: Ultra (64x).<\/p>\n

This will be a slower calculation, but will provide the best resolution available for calculated surfaces — in case this is what you want an image of.<\/p>\n

4. (Odyssey 3.1 ‘trick’) Save file in Odyssey as JPG, with a “+” to the end of the .jpg file. This saves file at much higher resolution. Next generation of Odyssey will ask what resolution you WANT to save at when you save as a JPG file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
