Capture

Capture

Windows and graphs can be captured into REPORTER, saving an image together with additional information to allow the capture to be reloaded later. For D3PLOT windows, this is a properties and settings file. For T/HIS graphs, this is a FAST-TCF script. Graphs captured in the D3PLOT->T/HIS link are treated exactly the same as graphs in T/HIS, so the resulting items will be identical. Variables containing useful values related to the models or curves in the captured window can be added to the item before capturing (see Variables ).

Note that in the version 17.0 method, only single windows and graphs can be captured. The intention being that the windows and graphs are easily captured individually and laid out in REPORTER with greater flexibility.

In order to capture a window, first select the target item in REPORTER, either selecting it directly in REPORTER or using the item tree. You can capture into a new item by selecting 'I+ Add Item' in the item tree. Once the item is selected, the 'Resize' button on the top bar of the window can be used to resize the window to match whatever image size is specified on the selected REPORTER item, such as 'Fit object box'. Finally, either press 'Capture' on the top bar of the target window or select the window in the 'Active window' list in the REPORTER panel and press 'Capture' at the top of the panel.

This will send the information to REPORTER and the image will appear on the item.
