Command line
Plot
Specify a Resolution Level for Shaded Plotting
You can set the resolution of shaded plots for either greater speed or higher
fidelity.
After you choose an appropriate plotter, you can specify the level of quality
for plotted output. The quality level determines the dpi. The dpi that corre-
sponds to a quality level is based on the plotter you choose.
The maximum dpi available is also based on the plotter you choose. You can
specify a custom quality level and directly change the dpi to a setting
between 100 and the maximum dpi of the plotter.
The higher the fidelity, the more computer memory is used, so the longer it
takes to plot. High fidelity is not necessary for all plots, and a setting between
300 and 600 dpi is generally sufficient for most plots.
To specify a resolution level for shaded plotting
1 On the File menu, click Plot.
2 In the Plot dialog box, Plot Settings tab, Shaded Viewport Options area,
Quality drop-down list, select an option.
If you want to enter a custom dpi, select Custom and specify a dpi in the
DPI box.
