But you're /still/ not getting it.  "Think outside the screen!" =:^)

The resolution of the pan-window image in that link is only 1600x865, 
presumably maximized to your screen size, but that's *NOT* the limit on 
the size of the window and NOT what I'm talking about.

Think BIGGER than screen size, and either read those instructions again, 
particularly steps 1-3, which is where you're having the problem, in the 
previous post, or try these, enhanced with ascii-art! =:^)

1. Take the pan window and move it mostly OFF the screen, so it looks 
like this (view the ascii-art with a monospace font, with pan's wrapping 
toggled off as this post is pre-wrapped):

-----------------------
|      screen         |
|                     |
|                  ------------
|                  | p|an     |
-------------------|---       |
                   ------------

Of course you won't see the entire pan window as part of it will be 
off-screen.

2. Grab the corner of the pan window and drag it larger, so it looks like 
this:

-----------------------
|---------------------|--------
|| pan onscreen       | pan   |
||                    | off-  |
||                    | screen|
-|---------------------       |
 ------------------------------

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2, moving the window until it's mostly offscreen,
then enlarging it further, until you get the full resolution image in the 
window, tho only a bit of it will of course be shown on the screen.

Not a the same scale as the above ascii-art and you probably don't need 
to go to /this/ extreme, but...

4. NOW take your snap, of the (mostly offscreen) pan window.  Be sure and 
snap the window, not the screen, or you'll get just the tiny on-screen-
visible part.



Meanwhile, in pan's view menu, under layout, you can toggle each of the 
three panes on or off separately, so no need to squeeze the header and 
group panes, just turn them off entirely for this, then back on 
afterward.  That's what I was talking about in step 4.  (You can also 
switch to tabbed layout instead of paned, if you wish, but I prefer paned 
and simply toggle panes out of the way if I need to.)
