Publish, Share and Present

You can export and share charts from your project at any point throughout your analysis. These charts will typically download as image files to your computer.

Set their size, name and appearance in the download window. Changing the theme of your export will affect the color of text in your chart.

Export File Types

When exporting charts from Graphext you will download a file to your computer. PNG files are the default type of export. In some cases you will also be able to choose to export either an SVG or CSV file. PNG and SVG files represent images whereas CSV files represent your original data in a tabular form.

PNG files are based on a raster image format typically used to store full-color images. Images stored as PNG's are represented as pixels.

SVG files are based on a vector image format which supports animation and is easily scalable. SVG's represent images as mathematical figures.

CSV is a format for storing data as values separated by commas. Exporting a CSV will save the data behind a chart rather than the chart itself.


Graphs

You can capture a snapshot of the Graph as it currently appears in your window. This is not only a beautiful sight to behold ... but it means that you can quickly include images of your Graph inside other documents.
