Dear David Clayworth, I have recently sent you two figures generated in a Maple program: 1 - as shown in the Maple window 2 - as an exported file. The first one, with the color pattern more soft (blurry), and the sencond one with a less accurate look. I would like to know if there is a way of exporting figure files with the same appearence as the first figure without the need on increasing the grid size. sincerely Victor

Dear David Clayworth, The plot seen on the Maple window when exported as a BMP file using the menus keeps its aparent accuracy (it looks as if the Figure was subjected to a color softening). My problem is that I am running a very heavy calculation and I must keep the size of the grid as small as possible without loosing the quality of the 3D coloured figure. When I export the file as a postcript, BMP, or JPEG without seen it on the screen the color pattern stops appearing soft. The program that uses the plot setup option creates a figure of 100 kB whereas, when the plot drawn on the screen was saved as a BMP file, the resulting file was of about 3 MB size, without changing anything. Is there a way of creating a plot file that looks like the picture on the Maple screen without the need of increasing the grid size? I must run the program in a batch mode without a screen. sincerely Victor
