Form Feature	Description
Charts to output	If multiple charts are displayed: Current Chart will create one PNG file All Charts will create one PNG file for each of the charts. If one chart is displayed, only one PNG file will be created, regardless of the setting of this option.
Filename	If Charts to output is set to: Current Chart, the filename entered here will be used as the name of the output file. For example, if Filename is set to: "my_chart" would create an output file will be my_chart.png. All Charts, the filename entered here will be used in addition to the name of the data on the chart. For example, if Filename is set to: "my_chart", and the names on the charts are "Gold", and "Silver" the output files will be: my_chart(Gold).png my_chart(Silver).png
X Size (Pixels), Y Size (Pixels)	You can specify the dimenstions of the PNG image file. For example, to create an image with equal length sides, enter the same value for both X and Y Size. Leaving these fields blank will create an image at the resolution (in pixels) of the charts on the screen.

A file in PNG format which contains the screen image at the defined resolution is created in the current work directory.
