Logistic Substitution Model II - User Guide
Generating Output

Basically there are two options available for generation high resolution output - either you use the LSM2 application's printing option in conjunction with a printer driver , or you choose one of the available chart exporting options.

Printing

You can print a hard copy of the chart area by clicking the button in the toolbar or by going to the File menu and selecting Print. This opens the Page Setup dialog, then the Print dialog.

Page Setup Dialog (Windows)

Printer Selection Dialog (Windows)

The "Adobe PDF" printer is - of course - only available for selection if installed (it does not come with the freely available "Adobe Reader" but with the Adobe Acrobat). Other options for creating PDF files include PDF-XChange and eDocPrinter PDF.

Creating high resolution plots by using a printer driver is by no means limited to PDF. You cat e.g. use any Postscript printer driver and redirect the output to a file in order to generate postscript files.

Exporting

To export the chart area for using it on a web page or another program like MS-Word or MS-PowerPoint (or their OpenOffice equivalents), go to the File menu and select Save Chart as .... LSM2 will open a standard file dialog where you can enter the name of the file.

For now (01-Mar-2008) LSM2 offers:

• PNG - Portable Network Graphics
• WMF - Windows Meta File
• EPS - Encapsulated Postscript
• PDF - Portable Document Format
• SVG - Scalable Vector Format
• SWF - Flash Format

PNG is a raster image format that can be used in web pages, Word documents and PowerPoint presentations.

WMF, EPS, PDF, SVG and SWF are all vector based formats. Unfortunately WMF, EPS and SWF do not support transparency.
