[kepler-dev] Kepler screenshots

[Christopher Brooks]

We have an open request for enhancement (RFE) that is associated with this:
https://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24
says:

  We need an easy way to increase font size for demos.
  Edward's way is to edit the style sheet and change the
  size.  Perhaps we could have a way of changing style sheets
  on the run from a menu choice?

Changing style sheets only changes the fonts in the html viewer.

With the graphical model display, the annotations are
ptolemy/vergil/kernel/attributes/TextAttribute.java
which extends AbstractTextAttribute in the same package.
AbstractTextAttribute defines the textSize.

So, one possibility would be to change the textSize default value
in AbstractTextAttribute.

    Hi Dan,
    
    Thanks for the print trick.
    I am not sure how can I include that into powerpoint, but in latex and 
    openoffice docs this will serve well.
    
    The first part of my question still holds: magnifying the text to 
    make it readable on screenshots.
