Save
Clicking the Save button opens a dialog, in which the following settings can be
entered:
- File name
- Image size
Image name
The file format is inferred from the extension of the file name. Recommended options are:
- png: good compatibility with other software
- webp: small file size (ACME uses lossless compression)
- svg: vector graphics
- eps: vector graphics
Vector graphics have the advantage that they can be scaled and still remain crisp. You can zoom in without loss of detail.
Other options might be available but are not officially supported. Formats with
lossy compression like jpg are not recommended, as their images tend to be blurry.
Image size
Various options are available for the image size. It refers to the size at which it is intended to be displayed. Both the dimensions and font size are adjusted to suit.
The option Same as on screen is different and saves the image as it is
currently shown on the screen.
| Option | Size (pixels) png | Size (inches) svg, eps | Font size (pt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Same as on screen | as-is | pixels on screen / 100 DPI | as-is |
| Small | 800 × 600 | 8 × 6 | 16 |
| Medium | 1200 × 900 | 12 × 9 | 16 |
| Large | 1800 × 1350 | 18 × 13.5 | 20 |
