| Utilities Menu |
| The
utilities menu contains routines for importing/exporting curve
data as ASCII text files, graphics file export, clipboard transfers,
and specialized operations for obtaining or creating curve data. |

| Graphics Export |
| The
graphics export dialog produces graphical export of the artwork
from any graph window in the program. This dialog supports
an extensive variety of both vector and raster image formats. |
| |
| There
are many different kinds of graphics applications. The type
of file format to use depends entirely on the application. Generally
you will be opening or placing the file in some other application
program. Obviously a file format must be chosen which is supported
by the other program. |

| Data Import/Export |
| Extensive
facilities are provided for both importing and exporting curve
data with ASCII text files. |
| |
| Both
time and frequency domain data can be imported/exported, or
converted from one to the other during import. |
| |
| Virtually
any data that is in column form can be imported. |

| |
| Curve Capture |
| The
curve capture utility can be used to capture a data curve
from a raster image file.
|
| |
| It
sometimes happens that one has a printed graph, or image file,
that contains curve data you would like to use in the program.
Printed graphs can be transferred to file form by use of a scanner. |
| |
| This
dialog provides the capability to distill numeric vector curve
data directly from a raster image. |
|
|
 |
|
| |
| Curve Editor |
| The
Curve Editor dialog provides graphical editing and creation
of curve data.
|
| |
| The
Curve Editor is a specialized drawing program which allows you
to modify or create curves by editing an array of control points
or nodes. |
| |
|
This special edit curve is drawn as an array of straight line
segments between the nodes. Nodes can be added, deleted, or
moved to create virtually any desired curve shape. |
