Tekmap Software

Plot files can now be saved to a single PNG image or a series of PNG tiles. The single PNG image is saved at the same size as the display canvas. The PNG tiles are saved by breaking the plot into a user-defined series of tiles.

Profile Output as Tiles (3)

Saving the plot to a series of tiles allows for printing a single plot over multiple pages.

New

The Profile Plotter now uses Cairo Graphics to handle image saving. As a result, Postscript (ps) and Portable Document Format (PDF) files are now supported.

Map images can easily and quickly be saved from the GTK+ GRASS GUI. Saved images include all currently selected objects in the display list.

The map is saved by default to a PNG image at the same size as the display canvas. Other image formats supported by GTK+ will be added.

A second image save option is available to save map images as a scaled PNG image. The user is prompted to set the display width in pixels, of the output image. This option can be used to output map images at the current GRASS resolution, which can in turn be encoded to GeoTiff files or GDAL compatible files.

Note: The scaled image output is dependent upon system memory.
