How to save contour map

[kesavapraba]

Dear Sir/Madam
How do we save the surface color map, which is normally visualized in the post-processor of STKO, as for example PNG or PDF, etc? I use STKO v2.0, I do not see any option in it. Kindly help me out. Thanks

Dear kesavapraba,
the easiest way is to capture your screen. I recommend using "Snipping Tool" or similar programs. You can find Snipping tool here: Programs->Windows Accessories-> Snipping Tool.
Best regards

Dear Sir/Madam
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have been doing the same so far; however, I was expecting an option to save the color map either as *.eps or *.pdf or something like that so that I can scale up in the graphics while publishing research articles in the future. Please do consider such an option in the upcoming release of STKO, I hope it would be really helpful in many ways.

We will, we put in our future development.
Thank you for your advice.

Dear Horace
Any update on this matter?

We put it in our to-do list, but it's not ready yet.
In the meantime you can obtain a vector image from a raster image using a simple online tool:
https://www.vectorizer.io/

Just make sure to capture the raster image as large as possible, the larger the raster image, the better the vectorization.
To make room for a larger image in STKO, you can temporarily hide the worktree/editor/script/terminal widgets like this:
