Hey Florian,

I'd say it's a limitation of your graphics card. Others should correct me if I'm wrong. In any case, on my computer, I can write a 6400x4800 pixel2 file.

>> PyMOL>png test
>> ScenePNG: wrote 6400x4800 pixel image to file "test.png".

A different question is why I or you would want to do that. Your final image will have a size of 30 megapixels. There is no camera in the world that shoots at 30 megapixels, and yet you see digital photographs more than one square meter big for sale. For a poster you surely don't need 600dpi resolution. People will look at it from a certain distance, and thus you should be happy with the same number of pixels as in a publication-quality figure.

Just my opinion.

Hi,

i`ll tried to render something for a poster:
ray 6400,4800
png test

doesn`t work:

Scene-Warning: Maximum OpenGL viewport dimension exceeded. ScenePNG: wrote 4096x3072 pixel image to file "6400.png".

Is this a known limitation or does it depend from the complexity of the protein/ object which has to be rendered?

Greetings,

Florian
