Print to BitMap

This menu item creates a BitMap file of the layout.

The BitMap dialog specifies the style and size of the BitMap. The two toggle buttons (Print Titles and Print Borders) control whether the Layout Title or the borders are printed on the BitMap. The size of the BitMap is smaller if these are disabled.

The dpi (or dpcm if using Metric units) control specifies the number of pixels per inch (or centimeter) in the BitMap. You can enter values from 0.1 to 100. Larger values will result in a larger BitMap file. BitMaps must be less than 32000 pixels in height or width.

The BitMap width, height and approximate file size is indicated.

Note: This command can create a very large file and consume a lot of memory and time.

Pressing the Ok button invokes a File Save dialog so you can choose the file name for the BitMap.

Note: this dialog is only available on MS-Windows.
