Is there a way to change the font size for the plot x-axis? The size is too small when an image gets exported and goes into a document, the plot and data quality remains fine but the x-axis gets distorted (the y-axis is large enough). If this is not a feature to edit the font sizes for the x and y axis it might be a good idea.
How do you export a plot where the x-axis font size gets distorted? I ran a simple example with x and y axes having the same font size for their legend and tick labels in waveform viewer.
By right-clicking on the plot in waveform viewer, selecting “Copy Bitmap to Clipboard,” and pasting it into a document, it can maintain the same ratio. I typically adjust the waveform window size to obtain a reasonable text size in capturing a bitmap.
Thank you. I know about the image exporting method. I think I was misunderstood. Apologies. Perhaps should have said the font size of the tick values.
The problem is however that the text is too small when it goes into a document, when printed it will not be clear enough, increasing the font size would solve this problem. See the attached image.
Oh, I see, this is one of my struggles, and I have to adjust the window size to capture a bitmap to balance the waveform and text size. However, this may sacrifice some details in the waveform as a tradeoff.
I am afraid that I have to go and manually update the text on the axis for 70+ images either in paint or in Word itself. Was hoping for a way to edit these parameters before exporting.
I do it this way:
- Set the print settings to A6
- Click Print Preview
- Either copy to clipboard or print to doPDF
- You can choose any printer and any paper size (different font heights)
Example
A4
A6
Envelope #6
Thanks for the advice. I have been playing around with this since I have seen your comment.
The quality of the image export built into the plot interface is still better but the *.pdf exports provides methods to simplify the editing process. Will use this method if all else fails.
A built in feature where the settings are saved like in LTSpice would be better, saves a lot of editing and steps. Selecting the font and the font size for simulation output.
Will play around, have not tried doPDF 7 yet.
If we continue to develop the pdf-theme, the pdf-file can then be opened in Inkscape and the desired font and size can be set.
