Save a Graph to a File

You can save a graph as follows:
  • If you have modified an existing graph and want to save your changes, select Filethen selectSave, or click Save button in the toolbar.
  • If you have created a new graph that has not yet been saved, select Filethen selectSave As, or click Save as button in the toolbar. Then, choose a location and file type for the graph that you want to save.
    You can also use this option to save an existing graph using a different filename or file format.
You can save a graph as one of the following types of files:
  • as an ODS Graphics Designer (SGD) file. The file can later be opened and edited in the ODS Graphics Designer.
    You can also specify the name of the template that is created for the graph. For more information, see Working with the Graph Code .
  • as an image file. Image files can be in TIF, JPG, BMP, GIF, and PNG file formats. The image file can then be opened in any graphics application that supports the file format.
    When you save the graph as a JPG or a PNG file, you can also select a resolution from the Resolution (in DPI) list box.
  • as an Enhanced Metafile (EMF).
  • as an HTML file.
    You can also select a target from the Target list box. This feature, used with bar charts that have a URL role specified, determines how to open the linked target. Here are the available targets:
    Blank
    (Default) Open the linked document in a new window.
    Self
    Open the linked document in the same frame as the graph. This option replaces the graph in the browser.
    Top
    Open the linked document in the full body of the window. This option acts like the Self option when the document is already at the top.
    Parent
    Open the linked document in the parent frame set. This option acts like the Self option when the document has no parent.
    Search
    Open the linked document in the Search pane of the browser, if the Search pane has been enabled.
  • as a PDF file.
  • as a PostScript (PS) file.
