Using Graph File Image Save Options

The tools provide the following options in the "Save Image" dialog box (see Figure A-1):

•Save a graph image in "xwd", "HP-GL", or "PostScript" format.

•Save an image of the entire graph area or just the visible portion of the graph.

•Scale the graph image to fit on a single page or allow it to be printed actual size on multiple pages. The multiple page option prints the graph from left to right then top to bottom.

•Choose between "Landscape" and "Portrait" mode.

•Choose from several page sizes.

•Choose to print the graph in grayscale or color.

•If you select "HP-GL" format, choose whether to save the image in a format suitable for "Plotter" type devices like a pen plotter or "Raster" type devices like a laser printer.

SoftBench Static Analyzer saves the arc labels from a Static Graph only if you set the "View: ■ Display Arc Labels" toggle button. SoftBench saves the graph legend from a Static Graph or Target Graph only if the legend is displayed. Control the display of the legend with "View: ■ Display Legend" in SoftBench Static Analyzer, or "Graph: ■ Display Graph Legend" in the main SoftBench window.
