[Chimera-users] How to save high resolution image?

[Eric Pettersen]

As far as I can tell, POV-ray images don't have the DPI setting  
specified in the Chimera interface.  Always seems to be the screen  
DPI.  There is a ticket for this problem now:

#10683 (POV-ray not honoring DPI setting) – Chimera

However, non-POV-ray images have the right DPI.
