You can either save a picture of the Graphics View in a file or copy it to clipboard.
Saving as File
If your construction does not use all the available space in the Graphics View, you might want to…
- …use tools Move Graphics View Tool, Zoom In Tool and/or Zoom Out Tool in order to place your construction in the upper left corner of the Graphics View. Afterwards, you may reduce the size of the GeoGebra window by dragging one of its corners with the mouse.
- … use the selection rectangle in order to specify which part of the Graphics View should be exported and saved as a picture.
You create points called Export_1 and Export_2, which will be used to define diagonally opposite corners of the export rectangle.
In the File Menu, select item Export before clicking on item Graphics View as Picture. In the appearing dialog window you may specify the Format, Scale (in cm), and the Resolution (in dpi) of the output picture file.
Please find more information about the different picture files available in section Export Graphics Dialog.
Copying the Graphics View to Clipboard
You can also copy the Graphics View to the Clipboard of your computer: just select File – Export – Graphics View as Picture (png, eps)…, then click the Clipboard button.
This feature copies a screenshot of the Graphics View to your system's clipboard as a PNG (see PNG format) picture. This picture can be pasted into other documents (e. g. a word processing document).
