Abstract:
You can save the most recently produced graph
in Statit Express QC as either a bitmap (*.bmp)
or a windows metafile (*wmf). This feature allows
you to include control chart as part of a report,
web page, or presentation. You may want to use
other applications to customize a saved graph.
Product:
Statit
Express QC
To save a graph:
| 1. |
Be certain that the Graph
Window is active; then select File
-> Save Graph… |
| |
The Save Graph dialog box
is opened. |
| 2. |
You will be asked for a file
name. |
| |
Try to pick a descriptive
name that will help you remember the graph
if you haven’t seen if for a while.
It is always a good idea to note the folder
you are putting the new fie into too. It
might save you some searching and worrying. |
| 3. |
Pick a file type to save you
graph as (*.wmf, *.bmp, *.*). |
| |
If you want to edit a control
chart as a Microsoft Office Drawing save
your graph as a windows metafile (*.wmf).
Bitmap files (*.bmp) can be edited with
applications such as Microsoft Paintbrush. |
In order to edit a Statit Express QC feature
as a Microsoft Drawing, save a Statit Express
QC graph in (*.wmf) format by following the
steps above.
Then, for example, in Microsoft PowerPoint,
choose: Insert -> Picture ->
From file and insert the saved file.
Double click on the image that is pasted and
answer yes to the Question box that asks "Convert
to a Microsoft Office Drawing?" and edit
virtually any static feature of the graph as
you would any other Drawing object. Remember
this does not work with any of the popup windows
from a Statit Express QC hotspot. These features
are not saved and cannot be edited. You can’t
edit individual features of a bitmap image either.
