Export graphs
| Shortcut: | F10 |
Description
When the top window is a graph window, you can select Export graph in the File menu (or in the popup menu that appears when you richt-click on the graph window's title bar) to save the graph as a Device Independent Bitmap (BMP), PNG, GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), or TIF file, or as a PowerPoint slide (*.pptx).
On Windows versions prior to Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, support for PowerPoint files (*.pptx) requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (a free download from Microsoft).
To control the height and width of the saved image, select the "Options" button in the "Export graph as" dialog box.
Aspect ratio
Select the aspect ratio of the image.
- Use window aspect ratio: the height:width ratio of the image will be the same as the height:width ratio of the graph window as displayed on the screen.
- Height:width ratio 3:4: the height:width ratio of the image will be 3:4
- Free: you can select the height and width independently.
Size (pixels)
Select the height and width, in pixels, of the image saved to disk.
Resolution (TIF files only)
Specify the resolution (dpi) when saving the graph as a TIF file (default = 300 dpi).
