[Chimera-users] heavy black awful nuisance grid

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Barry,

   This is very likely a problem related to "supersampling", an option 
for producing higher quality images with Chimera.  You should try 
changing the supersample setting in the File / Save Image... dialog.  I 
suspect 1x1 will not give the grid but the fonts won't look as good in 
the image.  The normal 3x3 setting makes an image 3 times larger in both 
dimensions then averages it down to your requested size.  That smooths 
out jagged edges.  You can get a similar effect by using 1x1 (no 
supersampling) then make a bigger image and reduce its size in a photo 
editing program (photoshop, gimp).
