aiSee: Output Split
aiSee employs two different concepts of splitting output images. First, user-defined image parts can be exported to bitmap, PostScript, or SVG formats under the control of some options. Second, large graphs can be automatically split in up to 100 pages for printing or export to PostScript.
Export of image parts
In aiSee 3, use the “Select area” mode to mark any part of the graph and then export it.
Export of image parts from the command line
When
exporting a graph with aiSee 3, the command line option
--area WxH+X+Y
enables an image part to be exported instead of the entire image.
The image part is specified by a bounding rectangle
with the width W and the height H, while
X and Y specify an offset from
the graph origin, i.e. from the upper left corner of the layout.
When exporting a graph with aiSee 2, the image part to be
exported is specified by a combination of the four command line options
-xmin X1
-ymin Y1
-xmax X2
-ymax Y2 (see example).
These options are especially useful for Web-based applications in order to limit the size of output images or to implement a panning or zooming feature, as shown in the example below.
