Save Image

This selection allows the user to save the viewed scenario image as an encapsulated postscript (eps) file. This selection may be chosen only after the scenario field has been viewed on screen using View Map. The user will be asked for a root name for the *.eps file to be created. A different root name (maximum eight characters) must be created for each image to be saved. If not, previous image files will be overwritten. A warning appears if the user selects an existing filename.

The user will also be asked whether or not the saved image should contain caption information (e.g., interval, GCM patterns, emissions scenario, etc.). If this option is selected, information will appear in a panel immediately below the map image. For importing images into reports, papers, etc. in Word or other Windows applications, however, the user may prefer to define a caption within the applications software. If this is done by selecting 'Without Captions', be warned that the image will have no identification markers attached to it.

The saved file will appear in the /output sub-directory under the main /scengen directory.
