The plot page can also be used to load and save
alpha spectra in various different formats. When saving spectra it should be
noted that when the graph display is displaying several spectra, the one that
will be saved is the currently selected spectrum.

Loading and saving controls |
Loading and saving graphs from and
to the disk is useful when comparing the results of the simulation
to a previous simulation or a measurement. When a graph is loaded from
the disk, it will be added into the plot and will appear in the graph
selection list. Use the following controls load and save graphs:
The File -> Open menu item |
|
|
Adds a
graph from a file into the graph display. Note that when loading .fig files,
all graphs already in the graph display will be removed prior to loading.
Loading a bitmap format will add it as an image annotation. |
The File -> Save currently selected graph to disk menu item | |
|
Saves the
currently selected spectrum to file. Pressing the button pops up a
filechooser dialog that lets you select the desired output filename and
format. |
The File -> Print menu item | |
|
Prints
the figure in the graph display. A print dialog is shown, allowing you to
select the printer and paper options. |
The File -> Page setup & preview menu item | |
|
Allows
you to setup the page for printing. A dialog is shown that displays you a
preview of the print and tools that allow you to reposition or enlarge the
figure as it will appear on the printed page. Clicking ok will apply the
settings, and they will be in effect from that point on. Cancel will discard
the changes into the page setup. |
The File -> Save plot as figure menu item | |
![]() |
Saves
the current plot as a figure, complete with all the graphs,
annotations, axii and tics. The figure format may be chosen to be
either a bitmap, scalable vector graphics or AASI figure. Only AASI
figure (.fig) is editable with AASI after saving. |
