Importing and Exporting 617

Put HTML Image Tag on Clipboard
This lets you save out the basic HTML IMG tag information when you save the bitmap.
You can then paste the tag into your text or external HTML page editor.
Also export Retina (192dpi) bitmap

With this option checked you can simultaneously export a 192 dpi high definition Retina
image. This saves you exporting twice if you have a need to provide a 96dpi as well as a
192dpi resolution image for Retina devices. For JPEG and PNG the operation is only
valid when you have the 96dpi option selected.

See High resolution images (on page 433) for more info on Retina images.

Options tab
With this tab you can alter JPEG compression and turn on progressive/interlacing for the
GIF and PNG options if required.
JPEG Quality: (JPEG only) A low setting will result in a small file with a loss in quality
whereas a high value will give only slight file size reductions, but high quality. Note that a
setting of 100% will still compress the file. A setting of 85% gives good compression
without causing a noticeable loss in quality for most uses.

Interlaced: (GIF and PNG only) This is like a JPEG. In the browser the picture first
appears as a low resolution image. As more of the file loads, the resolution increases.
Transparent: (GIF and PNG only) This makes any areas not covered by the selected
objects transparent. Selecting this option automatically makes one entry in the palette
transparent.

Export each layer to a file of its own: (GIF and PNG only) Selecting this option when
exporting a design that contains multiple layers results in a separate file being exported
for each layer. The names of each layer (as set in the Page & Layer Gallery) are used to
name the exported files.

Image Map tab
An image map lets you have "clickable" areas on the graphic when displayed in a
browser. Clicking one of these areas jumps to a new web page. If you want to create an
image map, use "Utilities -> Web Address" to add web addresses (URLs) to the different
parts of your drawing.

Export Image Map to Clipboard: This copies the image map HTML to the clipboard so
you can paste it into your text or web page editor. There is an option on the BITMAP Size
tab to save the HTML IMG tab to the clipboard. Selecting either of these clipboard
options automatically deselects the other option.

Export Image Map to File: This copies the image map text to a file. You can either:
