Export Figure

Export Figures

To export all images on the canvas as one figure, select the Figure tab in the export dialog.

Export

Select "All" from the drop down list if you want to export all images on the canvas as a figure or "Selection" if you want to export only the images that are currently selected as a figure.

Type

Choose whether to export the figure as a tif or jpeg.

Background

Un-check the box if you want the background color of your figure to be the same as the background color of the canvas. By default the background of the exported figure is transparent.

Color Space

Check the box to export the figure as grey scale.

Resolution

You can select the resolution that the figure is exported at. The resolution can be set for use on the screen (96dpi), printing and publications (300dpi) or you can enter a desired resolution. The figure in Cytosketch is resolution independent, on export Cytosketch scales the whole figure so that it is the appropriate size for the chosen resolution. Because images in Cytosketch are scalable this will not cause the figure to become pixelated even if the export resolution is larger than the screen resolution.
