Export Image

Various options are available for exporting image files in RS2.

Export Image File

The Export Image option in the Export sub-menu of the File menu allows you to save the current view directly to one of the following image file formats:

• JPEG (*.jpg)
• Windows Bitmap (*.bmp)
• Windows Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)
• Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
• GIF (*.gif)
• PNG (*.png)

NOTE: the Export Image option is also available in the default right-click menu on all model or graph views.

Copy to Clipboard

The current view can also be copied to the Windows clipboard using the Copy option in the Edit menu. From the clipboard, images can be pasted directly into word or image processing applications. See the Copy topic for details.

NOTE:

• To capture the entire screen to the Windows clipboard, you can use the Print Screen key on your keyboard. This is useful if you wish to capture multiple views in a single image, for example after tiling the views.
• Pressing the Alt + Print Screen keys together will capture the application window only to the clipboard (useful if the RS2 Interpret program window is not maximized on your desktop).

Black and White Images (Grayscale)

The Grayscale option in the toolbar or the View menu, automatically converts the current view to Grayscale, suitable for black and white image requirements. The Grayscale option works as a toggle, and all previous colour settings of the current view will be restored when Grayscale is toggled off.
