Hi,

I am trying to quantify my westerns but am having difficulty because
the resolution of the graphs output by the "plot lanes" command is too
low. I have a number of bands of a wide range of concentrations so the
smallest bands have small peaks in the graphs, making it impossible to
place the baseline accurately. I assumed the zoom tool would help, but
that just, err, makes the pixels bigger - sorry, I don't know how to
describe it. I also tried using multiple selections in the same lane,
but then the areas of the graphs are not comparable because they have
been scaled differently. I've attached an example of the graphs I get.

I searched Google and the mailing list archives, and I saw at least
one person mention this as a side issue, but no one addressed it.

Is it possible to change the resolution/size of the graphs output by
the "plot lanes" command so that I can zoom in and accurately define
the baseline?

Many thanks,
Luke
