The Save image dialog includes a field for entering a File name. By default this will be Xtract001 and after
saving a plot file (clicking Apply) the name will be incremented to Xtract002, Xtract003, etc. This feature
simplifies producing several plot files for reporting purposes. If you enter another name, say Bracket1, the
name will be incremented to Bracket2, Bracket3, etc. A name without counter, say Abc, will after clicking
Apply be ‘incremented’ to Abc001. Closing the Save image dialog resets the File name to Xtract001 (next
time the dialog is opened).
The Save image dialog includes Header and Footer fields for text strings to be reproduced at the top and bottom of the plot image. The font size of the header and footer is somewhat lager than other text and if the font
size is increased (see Section 3.1.25) then the header and footer are increased proportionally. The header and
footer may be left, centre and right adjusted.

Checking the ‘Plot all visible views’
option disables Header and Footer

Note: If you have added text and pointers (see Figure 3.38) then a setting of the plot size should
approximately maintain the width over height quotient of the display area or else the text and
pointer positioning may not be as intended.
For either of the alternatives for printing/saving graphics (File > Print, Edit > Copy view to clipboard, Edit >
Copy visible views to clipboard and File > Plot) a dialog appears: Export View Mode. Hitting Return
accepts the default mode: exporting colours with white background and black text. Alternatively you may
choose black & white mode and ‘as is’, i.e. as appearing on the screen. See Figure 3.44.
Note: The tool button
offers a preview of the graphics exported in black & white mode. This is a
preview only and not a working mode. I.e. when selecting a new results component colours will
reappear in an imperfect manner. Click
once more to return to normal colour mode.
