Hi Bill and other GUIDEs,

For an article (deadline saturday) I need maps from GUIDE with higher
resolution than the normal setting of my monitor. I resolved that
temporarily by putting the monitor to 256 colors and 1600 by 1200. As colors
are not important to these maps, it is possible but a bit troublesome as
User Interfaces become almost illegible.
So is there any way to get out GUIDE maps at a higher resolution than your
monitor's, or can I only get out Screen dumps and prints?
Related question: I want a few star names on my maps, but not all of them.
When I make Common names "Auto", there is no indication what to do to get
only 2nd mag and brighter. The names just stay away until I make Common
names ON.

If I use all starnames, the maps (60 degree field) become cluttered.
The Mag Label limit only works on the magnitudes.

Anybody who can help?

: Hi folks,
:
: First off... Italian users of Guide 8 should take a look at the
: following:
:
: http://www.gwi.net/~pluto/imanual.zip
:
: Giuliano Pinto has provided a .PDF manual in Italian for Guide 8,
: with instructions for printing it. Quite fancy... we may see a
: situation in which Italian users have a better manual than the rest
: of us.
:
: About animations: now that you mention it, I think it was Jari's
: animations that first got me thinking along these lines. At the time,
: I didn't have much of a clue as to how to proceed.
:
: It turns out, though, that I actually can access some "Video for
: Windows" functions right from Guide, allowing it to build an .AVI
: on-the-fly. I've added a function to Guide that does this; you
: click on a menu button to start creating the animation file, and
: are asked to specify a file name and video compression method.
: Each subsequent screen redraw adds a frame to the video, until
: you've got enough frames; then you click the option again, and
: the video is written out. _Much_ simpler than previous methods!
:
: I have therefore posted an update at
:
: http://www.projectpluto.com/update8.htm
:
: which also includes assorted other improvements, such as the
: galaxy distances/luminosities I mentioned earlier, better control
: over isophotes, ability to download DSS-2 instead of/in addition
: to "normal" DSS-1, and ability to suppress some spurious stars
: from the GSC.
:
: It's been noted that Guide 8 is not exactly heavily advertised
: on the Web site. I'm working on that problem, and have revised
: the "FAQ for new users" and some associated pages that were horribly
: outdated (I found lots of references to Guide _6_). Cleanup is
: continuing... I'll get there eventually! In the meantime, you'll
: notice that the "history" and the home page are unaltered; I want
: to rewrite them quite thoroughly. Expect heavy construction over
: the next week or so.
