The Save Graphs event enables saving generated graphs as images and/or as data files.

To set up a Save Graph event:

1. Right-click on the relevant track at the time the event is to start and select Add a Save Graph event.
   • The Save Graphs dialog is displayed:
     
2. If required, enter a name in the Event name box.
3. To run this event at the next recording using the Timeline, leave the Enable this event box checked (or uncheck this box to ignore this event in the next recording session).
4. Select one of the following option buttons:
   • Save selected graphs.
   • Save all graphs (if choosing this, proceed to step 6).
5. If choosing “Save selected maps”, click the Select graphs button.
   • In the Select Objects dialog, select graphs to save using the selection buttons >, >>, <, << and click OK.
6. To save graphs as images, check the box labelled Save graph(s) image(s).
   
7. Set the Map image aspect ratio and dimensions:
   
   • The default aspect ratio is 16:9 and the default dimensions are 1920 x 1080 pixels.
     • Select an aspect ratio option from the Image Aspect Ratio drop-down.
       
     • To enter an aspect ratio that’s not listed, select the Custom option. The custom aspect ratio box appears.
       
     • Sizes and aspect ratio can be “linked” when using a custom aspect ratio.
       • When the sizes and aspect ratio are linked, changing one dimension automatically updates the other dimension such that the aspect ratio is always respected.
       • When the sizes and aspect ratio is are unlinked, they are independent and changing a dimension automatically updates the custom aspect ratio. The other image dimension is not changed.
       • To link or unlink sizes and aspect ratio, click the button between the X and Y size boxes:
         
     • The icon or button here indicates whether sizes and aspect-ratio are linked:
       • this icon (not a button) means sizes are linked to the aspect ratio and cannot be unlinked.
       • this button means sizes and aspect ratio are linked, but they can be unlinked.
       • this button means sizes and aspect ratio are not linked, but they can be linked.
         Tip: Sizes are always automatically linked to preset (non-custom) aspect ratios. Only custom aspect ratios let you link or unlink sizes to the aspect ratio.
     • Set the preferred image size, remembering the above rules about linked/unlinked aspect ratios.
       • Only numbers can be entered.
       • Invalid values are highlighted by a red border around the input box.
8. Select one of the three Image Format options:
   • JPEG
   • Bitmap
   • PNG – this is the default format.
     Note: Default sizes and format are declared in the Cameras, Images, Videos, and Maps tab of the Simulator Project Settings dialog. See the Camera, Image, Video and Map Defaults topic for details.
9. To save graph data in data files, check the box labelled Save graph(s) data.
   
   • Select from the following options:
     • CSV file
     • Excel file
10. To apply these settings to all Save Graph events on this particular track, click one of the Apply To All buttons.
    
    • “Apply to all graphs – THIS track” copies event parameters to all other Save Graph events on this particular track.
    • “Apply to all graphs – ALL tracks” copies event parameters to all other Save Graph events on all Graphs tracks.
      Note: To use these buttons, one or both of “Save graph(s) images” or “Save graph(s) data” tick boxes must be ticked.
11. Click Apply or OK to save the event.
    • If the event overlaps other events, an error message is displayed. See Overlapping Events.
