Exporting Plot Images

To export a Kst plot to a graphics file, select File->Export to Graphics File... The following dialog box will appear.


Export to Graphics File

The following settings and options are available when saving:

Save location

The path to the graphics file. Enter a location manually, or click the button to right of the text box to browse to a location. The default name of graphic file is export.

File format

The format to use for the saved graphics file. The drop down list shows you all the available formats. PNG is suggested if you are not sure which format to use. If you select EPS format, the Save EPS in vector format option becomes available, which allows you to save the image as a vector graphic which can be cleanly scaled later.

Size

Select the dimensions, in pixels, of the graphic. The drop down list gives several self-explanatory options for specifying this size.

Tabs

Select whether to export only the plots in the current window, or all plots. If All is selected, one graphics file will be created for each window, each with filename file_n.fmt, where file is the filename specified in Save location, n is an index number assigned to each window, and fmt is an extension representing the selected file format.

Autosave

Check this option if you want Kst to automatically save the plot to the specified file on a specified time interval.

Save interval

The time interval used to perform autosave, in seconds.

Click Save Once to immediately perform a save with the specified options and settings. Click Close to close the dialog box (autosave will still be performed at the specified intervals, if selected).
