27 <strong>Exporting alignments as graphics and lineart<a
28 name="export"></a></strong>
31 The alignment view can be printed using <strong>File→Print</strong>,
32 or exported in a number of ways via the <strong>File→Export</strong>
35 <li>HTML<br> <em>for viewing in a web browser</em>
37 <li>PNG - a Portable Networks Graphics image<br> <em>For
38 low quality diagrams and powerpoint presentations</em>
40 <li>EPS - an Encapsulated Postscript Document<br> <em>For
41 high quality diagrams and publications.</em>
42 <li>SVG - a Scalable Vector Graphics document<br> <em>For
43 high quality diagrams in publications and on the web.</em>
45 <li>BioJS MSA - A JavaScript based multiple sequence alignment
46 viewer. <br> <em>For interactive alignment data
47 visualisation in a web browser.<br />Get more info about the
48 BioJS MSA viewer at <a href="http://msa.biojs.net/">http://msa.biojs.net/</a>
53 <a name="htmlexport" />
55 <strong>Exporting alignments as Web Pages</strong>
57 In Jalview 2.9, new HTML exporting options were introduced. The
58 standard HTML export option displays alignments as SVG documents
59 embedded as scrollable panes. Exported pages can optionally also
60 include <a href="../features/bioJsonFormat.html">BioJSON</a> data,
61 which allows Jalview to extract the original data used to create the
62 page. Jalview can also generate HTML pages which embed BioJSON data
63 and the BioJS MSA viewer, a pure javascript alignment viewer that
64 provides a range of interactive analysis capabilities.
68 <strong>Tips for working with EPS Files</strong>
70 <li>The EPS file generated by Jalview contains vector graphics
71 which are directly editable in graphics applications such as Adobe
73 <li>EPS files can be produced as "Text" or
74 "Lineart". Use "Text" if you want the final
75 document to be MUCH smaller in diskspace and be able to search, edit
76 and select text. Use "Lineart" if you want an exact image
77 of the alignment as displayed in Jalview. This is useful if a 3rd
78 Party EPS viewer does not have the same Font which the EPS file was
80 <li>When importing an EPS file into a Microsoft office document,
81 a snapshot image of the file will be displayed which often looks
82 blurred. Right-click the image and choose "Edit image." to
83 convert it to word drawing objects which give a truer WYSIWIG
85 <li>Mac OSX users will find that eps files are automatically
86 converted into PDF files.</li>
