Dear DXplorers,
I am trying to produce nice hardcopies of my visualisations, but I have 2
vexing problems.
First, I keep getting out-of-memory errors (large arena) when I write EPS
files. (The large arena is limited to 24 Mb, apparently thanks to cygwin.)
I don't see why this should happen when writing EPS files of a few hundred
kb (it seldom happened when I wrote MIFF files of 16-frame sequences using
the same net).
I get small-arena out-of-memory errors when I write TIFF files of > 2 Mb,
so that avenue is out.
Second, neither file format yields prints with non-aliased vectors: I still
see the staircase effect. I understand that I can't get enough definition
with TIFF if output file size is limited to 2 Mb, but why do I get this
with EPS? My 11-year-old DOS CAD program produces EPS files with no
aliasing of diagonal lines, so I had high expectations of DX.
I have set 'Allow Rendering' and specified 300 DPI for the EPS files. This
currently restricts me to images of about 2" square, to avoid the memory
problems; this, too, is unacceptable.
Thanks in advance,
