I am having trouble when I export a large graph: No matter what DPI setting I choose, the quality of the exported image (jpg, tiff, ...) looks the same - with low resolution, and blocky text. I know it is possible to get a higher resolution version, because I was somehow able to do it in 2015 with an older version of the same graph.
Am I missing something obvious? |

Posted - 03/05/2026 : 3:00:48 PM Hello Lowell,
Thank you for the information. 3D graphs are a bit different in that they use the OpenGL to render the graphics. This means that it is largely dependent on your graphics card and drivers. See: https://www.originlab.com/doc/Quick-Help/3D-Graph-Tick-Label-Anti-Aliansing
I also recommend you give the SVG file type a try.
Best, Chao

Posted - 03/05/2026 : 12:10:06 PM Chao, The graph is 40inches by 20 inches, and I have tried multiple dpi settings (150, 300, 600, ...). When this worked previously, I used 150dpi. It is a 3D graph, with a matrix plot as well. Anti aliasing is on (in fact, I cannot turn it off). The text and lines all look very clean on the graph in Origin itself - it is only when the graph gets exported that the resolution gets worse. I've upload a screen capture of a small part of the exported image. I've tried both the Export Graph and the (Advanced) version - getting the same result.

Thank you, Lowell |

Posted - 03/05/2026 : 10:39:32 AM Hello,
How large is your graph and what DPI settings are you using? Are you using the Export Graph or Export Graphs (Advanced) dialog?
Are you exporting a 2D or 3D graph? Is Anti-Aliasing turned on?
Do you have some examples that show the blocky text issue?
Best, Chao |
