- ExportImage( <Property>, <Value>, <Property>, <Value>, ... )
- Exports an image of the currently active view (or the view specified by the "view" parameter)
Note:
- The Properties used in the command syntax, listed in the following examples, need to be entered in English.
- The values related to the View that will be saved as image are:
- 1 for Graphics View
- 2 for Graphics View 2
- -1 for 3D View
Examples:
ExportImage("scale", 5)
- Shows a popup of the current view so that the user can right-click -> Save Image As...
ExportImage("filename", "image.png")
- Saves a file called "image.png" of the current view
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", "view", 2)
- Saves a file called "image.png" of Graphics View 2
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", "view", -1)
- Saves a file called "image.png" of View 3D Graphics
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", "dpi", 300)
- Saves a file called "image.png" of the current view at 300 dpi (dots-per-inch)
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", "scale", 2)
- Saves a file called "image.png" of the current view at scale 2 (ie twice nominal screen resolution)
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", scalecm", 2, "dpi", 600)
- Saves a file called "image.png" of the current view at 600 dpi at a scale 1 unit = 2 cm
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", "width", 1000)
- Saves a file called "image.png" of the current view with width = 1000 pixels
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", "height", 1000)
- Saves a file called "image.png" of the current view with height = 1000 pixels
ExportImage("filename", "image.png", "transparent", true)
- Saves a transparent PNG file called "image.png"
ExportImage("filename", "image.svg", "type", "svg")
- Saves a file called "image.svg" of the current view in SVG format
ExportImage("filename", "image.gif", "type", "gif", "slider", a, "loop", true, "time", 200, "width", 400)
- Saves a looping animated GIF of the current view controlled by slider "a" with 200ms between frames. Keep the width and number of slider steps small
ExportImage("filename", "image.gif", "type", "gif", "view", -1, "rotate", 360°, "slider", a, "loop", true, "time", 200)
- Saves a looping animated GIF of the current view controlled by slider "a" with 200ms between frames and rotates the view 360° during the animation. Keep the size of the view and the number of steps small
ExportImage("type", "pdf", "filename", "test.pdf")
- Creates a PDF of the current view (or a 2-page PDF if Graphics View 2 is open)
ExportImage("type", "pdf", "filename", "test.pdf", "slider", n)
- Creates a multi-page PDF of the current view where each page corresponds to one step of the slider "n"
pic1 = ExportImage("view", 2, "corner", A, "corner2", B)
- Creates a GeoGebra image of View 2 with corners
A
andB
Notes:
- In GeoGebra Classic 5 if there is no
filename
parameter the image will be copied to the Clipboard. This may also be possible in the future (with browser support) in other versions. - Some syntaxes aren't supported in GeoGebra 5 Classic
- In Chrome, you can try the experimental syntax
"type", "webm"
to get a faster & smaller export than with animated GIFs - For the 2D Graphics Views you can try this syntax to get a monochrome export
"grayscale", true
(PNG format only) - For the 3D Graphics View, only PNG is supported. In GeoGebra Classic 5 you can try this to get a high-resolution output
ExportImage("filename", "c:\Users\<username>\AppData\image.png", "view", -1, "width", 2000)
. Change <username> to your Windows username
