> 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.
