Diamond: How To Export High-Quality Pictures

In order to obtain the best possible results when exporting Diamond structure pictures to a file, please follow these instructions:

• Display the structure picture if it is currenty not visible (e.g. by selecting the corresponding structure picture from the "View/Structure Picture" submenu).
• Make sure that the "Automatic Adjustment" option is active (e.g. in the corresponding dialog which can be opened by selecting the "Adjust..." command from the "Picture" menu).
• Select the "Layout..." command from the "Picture" menu in order to open the corresponding dialog.
• On the "Target" page of the "Layout" dialog, select "Bitmap" as the picture's target.
• Enter the desired "Resolution in dots per inch" (e.g. 600 dpi).
• Enter the size of the picture (width/height), either in "Unit" pixels, cm, or inch.
• Close the "Layout" dialog by pressing "OK".
• In the "File" menu, open the "Save As" submenu, then select "Save Graphics As...".
• In the "Save Graphics As" dialog, please select the desired filetype. For high-quality pictures, we recommend "Windows Bitmap (*.bmp)" (which is also the default setting).
• Enter the filename and directory in which you would like to save the picture, then press "Save". The graphics file will be written to the hard disk.
• Finally, you may want to return to the default "Window" layout: Open the "Layout..." dialog from the "Picture" menu, select "Window" on the "Target" page, and press "OK".

Note: The size of the exported file strongly depends on the resolution and the size values you apply: If you export a large picture to a file using high resolution (e.g. 600 or even 1.200 dpi), the size of the exported file may become rather large.
