Chapter 7 Viewing and Printing Output
You can Preview or Print your plot anytime the Plot window is active. Before doing
either for the first time, you should use the “Plot Page Setup” dialog from the File menu
to set printing options such as what printer device to use and whether to print in portrait
or landscape orientation. Note that you can to print your plot on a different device than
you print your text files. Once these options are set, they will remain set until you again
want to change them. You can also quickly review the plot page setup from the “Quick
Change” popup menu described in the previous section.
To preview your plot, choose File>Print Preview, or press the Print Preview tool button
on the main window:
To print your Network Plot, choose File>Print, or press the Print tool button on the main
window, or press the Print button from the Print Preview window.
A few words should be said about composing your plot on the sheet. Plotting in this
program is simply printing a diagram. There is no precise control of plotting scale or
sizing of point names or markers. However, the general appearance of the diagram can be
easily controlled by resizing the plot window to the approximate shape and orientation of
the target sheet. Place (by zooming or panning) the network image within the plot
window exactly how you want it to appear on your final sheet. Resize the point names
and markers larger or smaller, resize the ellipses (or turn them off), etc. What you see
will be what you get. Preview the plot, and then if necessary, make any changes before
printing. You will need to experiment with this.
