PRINT GRAPH COMMAND

The Print Graph command in the OC Curves Window prints the contents of the window.  For best results, the printer should be setup for the portrait orientation.

TO PRINT THE GRAPH:

1.    Select the Misc | Print Graph command.

A dialog box will appear asking you for the printing parameters.  The current printer is shown in the “Printer and Paper” group box.  The current font and font size are shown in the “Printer Font” group box.

Press “Change/Setup Printer…” to bring up the Printer Setup dialog box to change printer and paper setting. 

Press OK.

2.    Enter the desired margin on all sides of the printed page as needed.

The unit can be inches or millimeters.

3.    Press Change Font inside the Printer Font group box to change the typeface and size of the printer font.

A dialog box will appear asking you to specify the font.

Use the controls in the standard font selection dialog box to select the font, font style and size you want.  Press OK.

Please be aware that text of the same typeface and font size may have different appearance on the screen and on the printed page.

 

4.    Enter a scaling factor in the Scaling factor edit box.

The scaling factor allows you to adjust the amount of the graph that will be printed. When the scaling factor is 1.0, the contents of the OC Curves Window are scaled to fit on the paper.  When the scaling factor is less than 1.0, the entire graph will be printed, only smaller.  When the scaling factor is larger than 1.0, only a portion of the graph will not appear on the paper.  The scaling factor does not affect the font size.

5.    Select a curve width.

You can vary the width of the curves between 1 point and 4 points. A thicker curve may be desirable to make it stand out. The unit of width is point, or 1/72 of an inch.

6.    Mark the box Print black and white to print the curves in black and white.

7.    Mark the box Print today’s date in the legend box if you want to date stamp the curve printout.

8.    Press Legend to bring up the Curve Legend dialog box to enter legend information.

9.    Press Print to commence printing.
