Taking screenshots of diagrams

These are some tips for taking good screenshots of influence diagrams and other Analytica windows for use in other documents or printing.

Use browse mode: When making screen captures of a Diagram window, select browse mode Chapter6 16.png rather than the edit or arrow mode to switch off the background grid, which makes the diagram clearer.

Switch off cross-hatching: By default, the nodes of undefined variables show a cross-hatched pattern around the title. To remove this pattern, uncheck Show undefined in the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu.

Diagram colors: Use white for the background if you plan to print screenshots of the diagram on a black and white printer at less than 600 dpi (dots per inch). The Print command allows you to leave out the background color, if any.

Exporting diagrams as images: To create an image file of your influence diagram, select Export from the File menu. The image can be stored in a variety of formats such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and EMF.
