5.8 Exporting
You can export a generated graph or animation to an image in various file
formats, including DXF, EPS, GIF, JPEG/JPG, POV, Windows BMP, and
WMF. Exporting an animation to GIF produces an animated image file. The
exported images can be included in presentations, Web pages, Microsoft
Word, or other software.
To export an image:
1. Right-click the plot region (for Macintosh, Control-click).
2. Select Export and the file format.
Alternatively:
1. Click the plot.
2. From the Plot menu, select Export, and then the file format.
Maple has various plot drivers. By setting the plotdevice, a file can be
automatically created without returning the image to the document. For more
information, refer to the ?plotdevice help page.
