I know, once y= ou have a plot in a vectorial format the rest is on your tools and fantasy. for Flair: - plotting geometry with Flair (not Geoedit) will allow you to produce an = eps file which you can turn into a pdf. - For the Flair USRBIN/USRTRACK/etc. part, I personally use ROOT for most = of my 1/2D plot non involving geometries. for Geoedit - no vectorial graphics sorry=85 (maybe this will added in future). One of= the drawback of raytracing. - an hint maximise the layout you are interest before exporting the layout= to a png. Convert it into jpg by yourself using your preferred OS and keeping the quality to the best. Having a 10= 00x600 png file will not look bad at all in a paper but most probably you won't be able to make a two column fig = out of it. We should probably add an in future an option to save a custom "virtual" layer of a used defined dime= nsion. AFAIK a resolution of >300 dpi is a must for all the journals, few other= s request 600dpi. Never heard of more unless it's an photo where details are important.
