zoom gives crappy looking images, compared to just being able to see the full size image on clickthrough, as pugsy says.

No amount of "zooming" can fix a graph that is tiny in SH to start with.

Compare your pressure graph to this pressure graph and you will see what I mean.

Pugsy and palerider,

You are both correct about properly sizing the charts before a screen shot. I tried it the other way with the zoom function, and considered a new eye examination.

Regards,

Zack

I think pugsy and I may have been talking about two different things, but both equally valid.

she was talking about the size of the charts, I was talking about the image itself. a lot of people will take a screenshot, then resize it to post it, so it looks something like the below pic.

Image

now, right click that and 'view image', then zoom in to make it larger.

then go back to the above image, and left click it to get the full resolution pic, the difference is, if you'll excuse me, clear. Especially when trying to read the numbers on the bottom, or the scales on the graphs
