Chapter 9Printing and Graphics ExportAbout this chapterThis chapter explains how to print the contents of a signal or correlationwindow from within Canary. It also introduces the Flash-It shareware utilityprogram, which enables you to copy any portion of a Canary window (oranything else on the Macintosh screen) for export to word-processing orgraphics programs. Further details on the use of Flash-It are provided in thedocumentation included with the program.Printing the contents of a Canary windowTo print the contents of the active signal or correlation window, select Print...from the File menu. Selecting Print... first brings up the Print dialog box for theprinter that is currently selected by the Chooser (under the apple menu; seeyour Macintosh system documentation for more information about theChooser). Figure 9.1 shows the Print dialog box for an Apple LaserWriterprinter. The Print dialog box allows you to specify the number of copies to beprinted, and lets you set various options for your printer (e.g., number ofcopies). The Print dialog box may look slightly different from the one inFigure 9.1, depending on the printer driver software installed on your system.Figure 9.1. The Print dialog box for an Apple LaserWriter printer. The dialogbox for your printer may differ.When you click the OK or Print button, Canary sends an image of the contentsof the current window to the selected printer. The window borders (i.e., thetitle bar and scrollbars) are not printed.If the window contains a grayscale spectrogram, and if grayscale printing wasselected in the Print dialog box (or the Printer Options dialog activated by theOptions button in the Print dialog), Canary prints the window with the bestgrayscale resolution possible with the selected printer. If black-and-whiteprinting was selected in the Print dialog box, or if the printer is incapable ofgrayscale printing (e.g., Apple ImageWriter II, Apple Personal LaserWriterCanary 1.2 User’s Manual 133
