Export to Bitmap

The current view can be exported to bitmap.

The bitmap export creates a bitmap on the hard disk based on the current view. Click File > Export Data > Export Bitmap (Screenshot) or with the icon in the toolbar.

Figure 1. The Export to image file dialog.

Map view

The aspect ratio of the map view is fixed and cannot be modified. You can either adapt the resolution or define a scale for the resulting bitmap. When using the scaled export, the resolution in dpi is set to the resolution of the screen (for example, 96 dpi). Additionally, the scale in the map view can be exported to the bitmap.

Note: Incorrect scale sizes may result in large bitmap files.

Legend view

The legend view can also be exported. The legend can either be saved to a separate file or in the same file as the map view. The height in pixels of the exported legend will be the same height as of the main bitmap.
