You can either save a picture of the Graphics View in a file or copy it to your clipboard.

Saving as File

Note: The full Graphics View will be saved as a picture, unless points Export_1 and Export_2 are defined (see below).

If your construction does not use all the available space in the Graphics View, you might want to…

  • …use tools Tool Move Graphics View.gif Move Graphics View Tool, Tool Zoom In.gif Zoom In Tool and/or Tool Zoom Out.gif 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.

Note: Points Export1 and Export2 must be within the visible area of the Graphics View.

In the File Menu, select item Export before clicking on item Image-x-generic.png 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.

Note: The true size of the exported image is shown at the bottom of the export window just above the buttons, both in centimeters and pixel.

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 FileExportImage-x-generic.png 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 picture. This picture can be pasted into other documents (e. g. a word processing document).

Notes:
  • The FileExportImage-x-generic.png Graphics View as Picture (png, eps)… option allows you to define the dimension (scale or pixels) of the exported image.
  • The copy to Clipboard feature is not available for Mac Os.
