I'm not sure what the resolution of a screen dump (command-shift-3), but I suspect it could be a problem in some situations. I simply copy (command-C) from CellQuest and paste (command-V) into Canvas. I have not noticed a problem with the label fonts, but I replace them with more publication appropriate axis labels anyhow. Below are the Cellquest 3 to Canvas 5 tips I keep to remind myself. CANVAS 5, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT 1. Allot as much RAM as possible to both Canvas and Cellquest (>12 MB each) 2. Breath slowly and repeat "This is only a program, it is not my enemy". 3. Select a dotplot in CellQuest. 4. Copy in CellQuest, Paste into Canvas. 5. Ungroup dotplot and using the eraser, remove any axis markers you wish. 6. Dot Plots consist of a number of grouped components (dots, plot frame, markers). One of those is a white rectangle. Ungroup the dotplot and remove the white rectangle, as it often interferes. Regroup. 7. Any color changes (i.e. red subpopulation) need to done in CellQuest. 8. Don't rescale dot plots after pasting in from CellQuest. 9. Expect color to take more time and frustration than B/W.

Hello to all, We would like to publish some figures/diagrams/pictures produced by Cell Quest on a power Mac. I tried printing them to a file (which subsequently prints out just fine) but nothing I have that can normally open postscript files (Photoshop, Canvas, Word etc.) will read them. Copying everything to the clipboard works, but there is a loss of resolution, particularly in the fonts, that requires lots of fiddly correction. So..... How is everybody else doing this? It seems ridiculous to have to reconstruct the figures manually. What am I missing? The list archive doesn't seem to contain any info on this. Al Sabirsh
