I would just add to what David Schuller said and recommend SPOCK, which
outputs both MOLSCRIPT and RASTER3D formats; and MIDAS which allows you to
output an image to arbitrary resolution. For image manipulation tools once
you've created your image, try ImageMagick. It comes with RedHat Linux and
you can get precompiled binaries for SGI. XV has the pesky feature that it
only outputs as many pixels as displayed. ImageMagick will behave the way
you would expect. Unfortunately, each of these programs has a bit of a
learning curve. No away around that I'm afraid.

Dear all,
I'm preparing some color images for structure paper submission. However,
there is still not satisfactory solution for producing images of required
resolution.
Any image croped by snapshot on the SGI work stations only has a resolution
of 72 dpi, making it unrealistic for futher processing or direct submission.
Trial-and-error photography of these images displayed on the screen using
the best film-loaded or digital camaras suffers a lot from the
over-saturation of local white regions and the white margines of imgview or
imgworks, and terrible distorion of the image by the screen.
Could any person give me some tips about this issue?
Thanks in advance. I'm a new comer here and not sure whether this topic has
been covered before.
Sincerely Yours,
Yong TANG
