1.4.5.1 Exporting a picture of the Graphical Presentation
www.alt.lu
Creating a file containing a picture of the log chart can be accomplished in two ways.
To create a picture file you can export in one of the following formats:
� Windows Bitmap (*.BMP),
� JPEG File ( *.JPG),
� Graphics Interchange Format File (*.GIF),
� Tag Image File (*.TIF),
� Portable Network Graphics File (*.PNG),
� Windows Enhanced Meta File (*.EMF) or
� CGM File (*.CGM).
To do so:
� Ensure that no log is selected.
� Go to the File >Export >Single File menu.
� Select the desired file format and extension.
In any case the user will be prompted to enter the depth interval over which the
picture will be generated. It is also possible to select the resolution for the image.
The user can choose from screen, 72, 144, 300, 600 and 1200 dpi. With increased
resolution more memory will be consumed to generate the image.
The CGM file export algorithm is based on the Larson EMF to CGM converter. To
view and print CGM files a free tool can be downloaded from the Larson homepage
(www.cgmlarson.com). By default CGM files are exported using the PIP –
Petroleum Industry Profile.
One can also use the Windows clipboard as a buffer for a picture of the log chart
before pasting it into the target application. To copy the graphic presentation to the
clipboard:
� Ensure no log is selected.
� Go to the Edit menu and select Copy (or press CTRL+C ).
� Activate the target application – the application you want to paste the
image to – and select Paste (or press CTRL+V).
� Depending on the application you are pasting to you will be prompted for
the depth interval and resolution to export.
