Printing, copying and saving charts

Introduction

It's very easy to save or copy charts; you just need to right click on the chart and select an appropriate option from the menu that appears.

You can't print 'live' charts (those shown while a test is running), but you can print the Test charts report simply by clicking the Print button shown in the main tool bar.

Copying charts

To copy a chart, right click on it and select either Copy this chart or Copy all charts from the menu that appears. Selecting the former option will copy just the chart you have clicked on, whereas selecting the latter option will copy all the charts in the set.

Charts are copied to the clipboard as both bitmap and vector graphics. Which one will be used depends on the program you paste the chart into; for example, pasting into Microsoft Word will use the vector image, which can be scaled to any size and will still display and print sharply.

Saving graphs

Saving a graph is much like copying it; you right click on the graph and select either Save this chart to a file or Save all charts to a file from the menu that appears.

When saving a chart, you can choose the format that the chart is saved in. The options available are 'Bitmap', 'GIF', 'JPEG', 'TIFF', 'PNG', and 'Enhanced metafile'. The first four formats are all raster graphics formats, while the latter two are vector formats, which means that the saved chart can be scaled and retain its sharpness. For further information, refer to the save chart window.
