The following export formats are offered:
- PBM: monochromatic PBM-P4
2
format (black and white bitmap format)
- PPM: color PPM-P6
3
format (color bitmap format)
- BMP: bitmap format. BMP format can be either
- monochromatic (black and white) or
- colored.
- PostScript: image description language.
The PostScript image can be either
- monochromatic (black and white),
- grey scaled, or
- colored.
The image can be split into 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 or 49 pages and
is surrounded by a bounding box if the Bounding Box
radio button is enabled.
After selecting the format, the orientation and the paper size can
be chosen, followed by adjusting the size and position of the image.
Bitmap formats: The dpi factors of the printer should be selected first
because the size depends on these factors. The x-dpi and y-dpi factors
are independent of one other, so that it is possible to distort the image
with these factors.
The Scaling, Width, Height scrollbars
can be used to change the size of the image. These three scrollbars are
interconnected, meaning that changing one of them influences the others so as
to preserve
the aspect ratio.
Selecting the size of the image is done using the following two shortcut
buttons:
- Scaling: 100% causes the image to be exported in normal
size (100% absolute).
- Maxspect causes the image to be exported to the chosen
paper format in maximum size.
Finally the position of the image on the paper can be chosen using one of
the following:
- Center centers on the page, horizontally and vertically
- Center width centers horizontally
- Center height centers vertically
Positioning can also be done by moving the small rectangle
(with the diagonals) within the panner.
Clicking on the OK
button opens the file selection
dialog box.
