Image (Export)

Export an image.

Syntax

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,"Image");

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,<pgtag>,"Image");

model.result().export(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);

model.result().export(<ftag>).run();

Description

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,"Image") creates an image feature with the name <ftag>.

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,<pgtag>,"Image") creates am image feature with the name <ftag> for the plot group <pgtag>.

result().export(<ftag>).set("plotgroup", <ptag>) changes the source of the image to the plot group named <ptag>.

Image features can be used both to export images and to have ready-made views of plot groups.

The following properties are available:

	The default values listed above are valid before any image has been exported successfully. After that, the settings from the last successful image export are used as default values the next time an image export feature is created.

Changing plot group after creation does not reset plot group-dependent default settings (title, colorlegend).
