Best way to make a 2D figure

Hi all,

I need to make a figure containing a 2D NMR spectrum for a paper. Has anyone figured out a good way to do this? The journal requires the figure to be editable, thus I need to end up with PostScript, eps, or similar (not jpg, png, etc).

Thanks,Mark



Check if somebody has answered this question on NMRWiki QA forum

Do you use Sparky to view your spectra? If so, there is a nice feature of Sparky that lets you convert the .ucsf file into .ps, which can subsequently be converted into PDFs via free .ps-->PDF converters. To do the .ucsf to .ps, make sure your spectrum is selected, then click "File-->Print-->Save-->it will automatically save as .ps then.

Also, you can set the exact spectrum window in Sparky so you end up with similar sized spectra -- assuming that you will be laying spectra side-by-side, with a final overlaid spectrum (e.g. apo, +metal, overlay apo and +metal). Make sure to enhance the contour levels such that each peak will be easily seen on the white background.
