Export an image of the view

To export an image of a view :

1. Choose File > Export Image > (View Name) or click the Export image tool ( ) at the upper right of a view that allows exporting.

2. Specify the file name and choose the export format: Adobe PDF (.pdf), Microsoft PowerPoint-optimized (.pptx), PNG image (.png) or JPG image (.jpg, .jpeg).

*Notes: If you choose Adobe PDF format and a particular font is not supported there, a similar font will be substituted for the original one automatically. If you choose the format that is optimized for use with Microsoft PowerPoint, the MegAlign Pro image is converted into an editable set of objects that can be grouped, ungrouped and moved within the target application. To constrain an object (e.g., a MegAlign Pro track) within Microsoft PowerPoint to move only vertically, rather than laterally, hold down the Shift key.

If exporting the Tree view, the export procedure is now complete.

If exporting the Overview, Sequences view or Pairwise view, the following dialog (or an abbreviated version) will open.

3. Choose export options.
   
   
   • Use the Range of view or Range of alignment boxes to specify the range of residues that should appear in the image. The default is the current viewport range.
     
     
   • Type in the number of Residues per line. By default, MegAlign Pro places the entire range on a single line.
     
     
   • Check the include summary box if you want to include the summary (above the sequences area) in the image.
     
     
   • Check the Include dividing lines box if you wish to include separators between the header, sequences, and footer.

The Resulting image size updates automatically based on the options you choose.

4. Click OK to export the image using the specified options or Cancel to close the dialog without exporting.
