Sorry, that is a limit of how fat the computer can draw the line, given the resolution. My only suggestion is when you use menu: File... Save Image, then in the "Image Options" try "Supersample: 1x1" instead of 3x3. This issue is discussed in the help page, under "Supersample": <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/print.html> Still, at high resolution, it could be too thin. If so, you would need to use some other program like Gimp or Photoshop to thicken the line after you save the image file. Elaine ----- Elaine C.

In the last email, I did not explain the situation I met clearly, so you did not understand the problem I met.
I have set the display of hydrogen bond in the visualization window of chimera by means of tools to make it highlighted. However, when I saved the 800dpi picture required by the publication at the end, the hydrogen bond became very thin and it was difficult to see in the picture. I have attached the detailed comparison.
looking forward to your reply.

If you want fatter lines, use a bigger number there. For explanations of all the options, click the "Help" button on the tool or see the copy at our website: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/findhbond/findhbond.html>
Or, if you are using the hbonds command, use the lineWidth option: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/hbonds.html>
All the tools have Help buttons, you should check there first when you have a question.
See also the general tips for making images, many topics are summarized there: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/print.html#tips>

Hello, when chimera software was used to analyze the interaction between small molecular ligands and proteins, the hydrogen bond width was set to 24, but the hydrogen bond in the rendered picture was very thin and difficult to distinguish. How can I solve this problem？
