Changing the Image Settings
When you generate a snapshot with the output target set to PowerPoint and Word, as described in the section Capturing and Copying Screenshots, the image settings are saved together with the inserted image. To edit the image settings for a linked image in a presentation or document, select the image and then select the COMSOL Image tools tab, where in the Image and Layout sections you can do the following:
•
Enter the Width and Height in the units selected for the image.
•
Enter the Resolution for the image in DPI (dots per inch) as a value between 10 and 1200 DPI.
•
Select the Lock Aspect Ratio checkbox to maintain the ratio of width to height if one is changed.
•
The Antialiasing checkbox is selected by default. Click to clear if required. Antialiasing minimizes distortion such as jagged edges in the image.
•
Select a Unit to define the image size: Millimeters (mm), Inches (in), or Pixels (px).
•
Select the Lock View checkbox if you want to lock the view for the image. Saved camera settings are then used when you update the image from PowerPoint or Word. If this checkbox is cleared, the current camera settings are used when updating the image.
•
The Zoom Extents checkbox is cleared by default. Select it to add a zoom to extents before regenerating the image.
•
The Title, Legend, Grid, Axes, Logo (1D images); or Title, Legend, Axes, Logo (2D images); or Title, Legend, Grid, Axis Orientation, Logo checkboxes (3D images) control the information displayed on the screenshot. You can edit the selections for including or excluding these parts of the plot.
•
Enter a Font Size in points (pt) as a value between 1 and 1000 pt. The default value is 9 pt. This font size overrides the system font size used in the COMSOL Desktop.
•
Select a Background: Basic Colors, Transparent, or Define Custom Colors. For Basic Colors, select a color from the color palette. For Define Custom Colors, define a color in the Define Custom Colors window that opens.
To regenerate the image after changing the settings, from the COMSOL Image tools tab click Update Image ().
