Export a loon plot as an image

Description

The supported image formats are dependent on the system environment. Plots can always be exported to the PostScript format. Exporting displays as .pdfs is only possible when the command line tool epstopdf is installed. Finally, exporting to either png, jpg, bmp, tiff or gif requires the Img Tcl extension. When choosing one of the formats that depend on the Img extension, it is possible to export any Tk widget as an image including inspectors.

Usage

l_export(widget, filename, width, height)

Arguments

widget

widget path as a string or as an object handle

filename

path of output file

width

Details

Note that the CTRL-P key combination opens a dialog to export the graphic.

path to the exported file
