Re[2]: Exporting figures from cell quest: how?

Something peculiar happened to my previous post, and I am not sure whether the 
following was actually received by other readers.  What I had intended to say 
was:

A method that I have found useful for high quality graphics from CellQuest is to
generate a figure that is two-fold or more larger (in all dimensions) than the 
final output that I intend.  (Remember to increase the point size for the text 
of the plots and any free text.)  You can then print at 50% or cut and paste and
then either adjust the size or print at 50% in the new application.

This has the effect of smoothing text and of decreasing the size of the dots in 
dot plots.  Note that sufficiently smoother text can sometimes be obtained 
merely by changing point size or selecting bold.

One other warning about this trick - the finer dots don't project very well and 
I therefore don't recommend it for slides!

Apologies for any repetition.
