 Copying Graphs

You can copy and paste any graph into another Windows program, such as Microsoft Word, Power Point or Excel. Simply select "Copy picture" or "Copy Picture With Graph" from the Edit menu in the Graph Window. Switch to the other application, and select "Paste".

To paste into Adobe Photoshop, first create a new document (notice the new document's size will automatically adjust to your copied selection) and then paste into the new document.

The graphic object saved as an SVG file is a grouped selection of multiple objects. Selecting "Ungroup" successively in the other program (Illustrator, Canvas)will ungroup these objects, which include: the axis titles, the axis notations, and the graphic. All text is in Palatino font, size 12 by default; however, you can easily change the default font in the Preferences dialog for Graph Windows. The format of the exported graphic depends on the type of graph as well as a preference setting.

Histograms and CDF plots are always exported as "line graphs." You can ungroup these and change the line style or fill pattern for the histograms.

Note also that when you copy a histogram graph, two items are placed on the clipboard: the graphic rendition as well as a text rendition of the histogram data itself. Depending on the program into which you subsequently do a paste, the correct item will be inserted.

This is also true when you copy a graph from the kinetics window: both the graphic rendition and the spreadsheet values are copied into the clipboard. If you paste into a spreadsheet, you will get two columns: one is time, the other is the computed value as a function of time.
