A New User Has Export/Print Problems

Hello,

I would like to export a high-quality image of an alignment and consensus. In your documentation, it states that I simply File-Print. UNder the JalView File menu, there is no print option, and under the Safari (Mac OSX) file menu, print is greyed out. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in Advance,

Sean

It sounds like you are viewing your alignment on a web page through the
Jalview lite applet, which cannot generate figures because it does not
have access to your computer's printing or file system. You have two
options:
1. If you can see it, use the 'View in full application' option in the
Jalview file menu (this is only available from some web servers).
2. Save your alignment, any features and annotation using the options in
the File menu. Download and run the full application from
www.jalview.org/download.html, load your alignment and add in the
annotation and features (you may have to edit the sequence features
settings to ensure the colouring is the same). Then follow the
instructions to print the alignment.

I hope this helps
Jim.
