[chimerax-users] silhouette scaling and image dimension

[Joel Meyerson]

Hi,
I noticed that when I save images in ChimeraX with silhouettes on, the apparent width of the silhouette in the output image seems to scale inversely with the image dimensions. For example, these three commands give slightly different silhouette thicknesses. Images attached.

save ~/Desktop/image1.png width 500 height 500
save ~/Desktop/image2.png width 1000 height 1000
save ~/Desktop/image3.png width 2000 height 2000

Is there a way to have a fixed silhouette thickness in output images? I'd also be interested to know why this happens.

Thanks,
Joel
