Many thanks to Warren Vick, Ian Hull and David Reid who responded to the = following question: How do I reduce the size of JPG files produced when using "File->Save = window as".=20 Warren: You are probably reaching the compression limits of JPEG files. You may = wish to try PNG files instead - I have often achieved smaller file sizes with this format (intended to be the replacement for GIF) and the compression = is not "lossy", which means you will not see any undesirable image = artefacts like JPEG. (This is the best fitting solution for my purposes) Ian: save window map_id as "c:\junkmap.jpeg" type "JPEG" width 1.8 units "cm" height 1.27 units "cm". Varying the width/height will vary the = resolution and hence the file size. David: Using an external editor, convert the images to paletted with an editor = that allows you to set the number of colors necessary to display the images and reduce the number. Compuserv GIF format would = probably reduce the size significantly and for the reasons stated above, you would have to convert the image to paletted. You can = still save the file as a jpeg, jpg, bmp or whatever but with fewer unneded colors the file will be a lot smaller.
