Export
File >Export enables users to export images, glossaries and lists.
Export Images
File >Export > Images... opens the Export Matrix Image dialogue window, with which to save the Matrix to a disk. The File Format options are JPEG, PNG and TIFF.
Sizes of the Matrixes vary widely, depending on their complexity. Large exported PNG, JPG or TIFF images can be opened in User's graphics, CAD or any other Mac or PC application that provides for the handling of large graphics files on their printers. For example, Canvas 9 provides for the import of these file types, resizing them, cropping them and for the the tiling of printouts or for printing large matrixes on ploters. Images can also be exported as PDF files from the Mac Print menu, but the recommended way is to print the Matrixes with other applications.
