<div dir="ltr">Hi Linford,<div><br></div><div>PNG is a good format to export the 3D view, Export Screenshot in 1.4.0 offers a resolution, and a choice of palette.

I have been exporting Figures as .PNG which is obviously not good (this was the file format I was meant to attached, not a .pdf). What format would you recommend I export it as if I want to make a figure in, say, illustrator or coreldraw? Are you exporting images simply via File > Export Image > etc? Also, how do you change the quality of the image exported?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Any help on this would be appreciated.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Kind regards,</div><div dir="auto">Linford</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 13 Aug 2018 9:09 p.m., "Marcus D.

You can use the palette to change the color palette (white, black, gray background etc). You can increase the resolution of the images to be exported. 3D is usually rendered to a raster format, and so to some extent when publishing you will need to choose a resolution. Tomviz has been used to produce images used on a few journal covers to date.</div><div class="m_-8476050955825569298quoted-text"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div>How would you recommend I make my tomviz reconstructions into a publishable format?
