Solar Advisor displays graphs on the Results Summary page and in DView windows. You can export images of these graphs for use in documents and reports.

To export a graph image:

1. | Display the graph on the Results Summary page or in a DView window. (To open the DView window, click Time Series Graph in the navigation menu, or click View Data on the Climate page.)

2. | Right-click the graph and click Copy on the shortcut menu. In DView, choose Copy Bitmap or Copy Metafile.

3. | Solar Advisor exports graph images as bitmaps.

4. | DView allows you to export graph images as bitmaps or metafiles, and to save them as portable network graphic or metafile files. Use the metafile format when you want to scale the image of the graph after exporting it.

5. | Open a word processing document or spreadsheet and paste the image by right-clicking and choosing Paste, or by pressing ctrl-V.
