[ferret_users] Publication quality image export question

[Ilias Koen <ilias.koen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning,
    I am a new ferret user and I am attempting to export a series of 
publication quality graphics.

    Do you know how if it's possible to output GIFs at 300dpi 
resolution or at a pixel size that can pull publication for ex 4000x4000 
pixels? From our understanding the .GIF export is connected to the 
screen resolution, or there is a maximum resolution that ferret cannot 
export bitmap graphics above that limit. We haven't found any other 
clear documentation on the .GIF export function for ferret other than 
the following 
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/faq/controlling-the-size-of-gif-output Any 
tips or hints on practices people have performed in the past would be 
greatly appreciated especially for publication quality graphics export.

The other command option "set mode metafile" produces a PLT file that is 
pretty large, we're wondering if there's good method to use less space 
per image.

Are there any other methods to export graphics via ferret other than the 
two mentioned above ?

Thanks Ilias Koen.
