Save Graphics Window
Previous  Top  Next

Dialog Box - called from: File menu

This command writes a bitmap giving exactly what is shown inside the current graphics window.

This option is appropriate for applications which will use the image on the screen. For applications which will use a printed or other high-resolution image, either the Raster Files or Metafiles (Windows) or PICT (Macintosh) options will usually give better results.

---Windows Only ---------

This will save a Device-Independent-Bitmap (DIB) either to the clipboard or to a.BMP file.

You can also copy the current window to the clipboard with the Print Screen key (this is a standard Windows function). However, this includes the window title bar and border and parts of overlapping windows, whereas the Screen to Bitmap command only copies the graphics part or the client area.

---Linux Only -------


This will save a PNG file. The clipboard is not currently supported.


---Macintosh Only --------

This will save a PICT file as raster, or put the image in the clipboard.

---End Windows/Macintosh Only --------
