Chart Options Dialog Box - Export Tab
Use the Export tab to save your graph for use in another application. The Export tab contains the following controls:
Copy | Lets you copy the contents of the graph to the Windows clipboard, so you can paste it into another application. You must consider the type of data you have copied when choosing where to paste it. For example, if you copy a picture, you cannot paste it into a text editor, you must paste it into a photo editor or a word processor that accepts pictures. Similarly, if you copy data, you cannot paste it into an image editor, you must paste it into a text editor or word processor. |
Save | Lets you create a new file from the contents of the graph. |
Picture Tab
Use the Picture tab to save your graph as a raster image or to copy the graph as an image to the clipboard. The Picture tab contains the following controls and subtabs:
Format | Lets you select the format of the picture you want to save. GIF, PNG, and JPEG are supported by the Worldwide Web, a metafile is a more easily scalable format. A Bitmap is a Microsoft BMP file that is widely supported on Windows operating systems, whereas TIFF pictures are supported on a variety of Microsoft and non-Microsoft operating systems. |
Options Tab | |
Colors | Lets you use the default colors used by your graph or to convert the picture to use grayscale. This feature is used when you save the picture as a file, not by the copy option. |
Size Tab | |
Width/Height | Lets you change the width and height of the picture. These values are measured in pixels and are used by both the Save and Copy options |
Keep aspect ratio | Lets you keep the relationship between the height and width of the picture the same when you change the image size. If you clear this check box, you can distort the picture by setting height or width sizes that are not proportional to the original graph. |
Note: Changing the size of a graph using these controls might cause some loss of quality in the image. Instead, try saving the graph as a metafile and resizing the metafile after you paste or insert it into its destination.
Native Tab
The Native tab contains the following controls:
Include Series Data | This is unused by WaterCAD 2024. |
File Size | Displays the size of an ASCII file containing the data from the current graph. |
Data Tab
The Data tab contains the following controls:
Series | Lets you select the series from which you copy data. |
Format | Lets you select a file type to which you can save the data. This is not used by the Copy function. |
Include | Select the data you want to copy. |
Text separator | Lets you specify how you want rows of data separated. This is supported by the Save function and only by the Copy function if you first saved using the text separator you have selected, before you copy. |
