Exporting a Plot as a
JPEG Graphic File
B-8 Importing and Exporting Plate Document Data
The SDS software can export most panes and plots of the plate document as JPEG
(Joint Photographic Experts Group) graphic files. The JPEG file format is compatible
with most word processing and spreadsheet applications and can be incorporated
directly into HTML documents for viewing by most web browser software.
To export an element of a plate document as a graphic:
Step Action
1 Click the plot or grid you want to export.
2 Choose from the following:
♦ If exporting a plot, adjust its dimensions (length and width) as you want them to
appear in the exported graphic file. The exported graphic file retains the
dimensions of the original screen element.
♦ If exporting the plate grid, do not adjust the size of the wells. The software
captures the whole grid regardless of the size of the view.
3 Right-click the plot or grid, and select Save Plot/Grid to Image File from the
contextual menu.
Note If a pane cannot be exported as a graphic, the contextual menu will not
contain the Save Plot/Grid to Image File option.
4 From the Save As dialog box, navigate to the directory you want to receive the
exported graphic file.
5 Click the File name text field, and type a name for the new file.
6 Click Save.
The software saves the plot or grid as a JPEG graphic in the designated directory.
