Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 SR3
Operating System:XP
Hi,
I would like to print a window, created with the dialog builder, which contains some graphs as a result of a calculation, each has several layers.
Is it possible a) to print/preview the whole dialog builder window?
and b) to print/preview parts of it, e.g. a graph or a layer?
Thanks for any hint!
bye
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I don't think you can print a DB dialog window directly from Origin but screen shots work fairly well. Alt+Print Screen will capture only the dialog window so you don't need to crop the image after pasting to a graphics program.

Hi Mike, thanks!
I have meanwhile found out that it is also possible to copy & paste a DB-window to a ORIGIN layout-window with ALT + PrintScreen. There is also a second alternative: If the DB-window contains a graph one may add the graph to a layout-window via the menue entry Layout->Add Graph. This has the advantage that only the graph and not the entire DB-window is copied. The question is, whether this can also be executed via a macro or a LabTalk script?
thanks & bye
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Labtalk can't do much with the layout window. However, if you can add the graph to a layout you might also be able to export it to an image file using export.image() or image.export(). I've never tried so not sure which (if either) will work best, but should look something like this...
win -oa graphName {
export.image(C:\Temp\img.jpg,JPG);
};
If that works you can import the image to the layout like this...
win -a layoutName;
image.filename$=C:\Temp\img.jpg;
image.import.object();
See this topic for hints about sizing and positioning objects in the layout window...
