Chapter 18: External Graphics Besides creating and controlling graphics that you view directly in ANSYS, you can export the contents of the graphics window to either to a printer or to a graphics file. You can also generate a neutral graphics file (*.GRPH) and use the stand-alone DISPLAY program to view static or animated screen images, or to convert your file into the appropriate format for printing, plotting, or exporting to word processing or desktop publishing programs. The following external graphics topics are available: 18.1. External Graphics Options 18.2. Creating a Neutral Graphics File 18.3. Using the DISPLAY Program to View and Translate Neutral Graphics Files 18.4. Obtaining Hardcopy Plots 18.1. External Graphics Options While in ANSYS, you can export the contents of the graphics window (full screen options are also available for some platforms), either to a printer or to a graphics file. The following topics are available: 18.1.1. Printing Graphics in Windows 18.1.2. Exporting Graphics in Windows 18.1.3. Printing Graphics in UNIX 18.1.4. Exporting Graphics in UNIX 18.1.1. Printing Graphics in Windows In ANSYS, you can obtain hard copy output by choosing Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Hard Copy. You then choose to print the contents of the graphics window, or to create an exportable graphics file. When the To Printer option is selected, the Windows printer dialog box for the designated printer is displayed. Printing options, including page layout, output resolution and document handling can be modified from this, systemcontrolled panel. Printer spooling options are commonly used to free up the processor more quickly (especially in Z-buffered mode). In Type 4 or Polygon mode, spooling may cause some elements to not plot, or to be improperly placed. Select the Print Directly to Printer option when these types of printing problems are encountered. 18.1.2. Exporting Graphics in Windows Selecting Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Hard Copy and then the To File option displays the Graphics Hard Copy dialog box. This box provides a number of popular file export formats (BMP, EPS, JPEG, TIFF and PNG) along with limited page layout and configuration options. These formats allow you to export your output window (or full screen) contents into a large number of commercially available desk top publishing or presentation software applications. ANSYS JPEG software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group, Copyright 1998, Thomas G. Lane. The PNG format is an extremely capable, portable file format that is gaining widespread acceptance in many computer applications, including the web. It is a lossless, true-color image format that minimizes the distortion, Release 13.0 - © SAS IP, Inc.
