Image Menu (in Tree Explorer)

The image menu contains three options:

Copy to Clipboard: This copies the tree image to the clipboard, which can also be done by simultaneously pressing Ctrl and ‘C’ keys. You then can paste the copied image into any other Windows application (e.g., PowerPoint and Word).

Save as Enhanced metafile: This option saves the image as an enhanced windows metafile (.EMF). It brings up the Save As dialog box to specify the filename.

Save as TIFF: This option saves the tree image as Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) with 400dpi resolution and without LZW compression. TIFF is a popular raster graphics format widely supported by image-manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop. Note that one cannot edit each tree part in this format as in the cases of EMF and PDF, while the graphics quality and cross-platform compatibility are better. Also, users should notice that the file size is much larger than EMF and PDF and it usually becomes tens or hundreds of mega bytes. It brings up the Save As dialog box to specify the filename.

Loan Taxon Images: This option automatically associates images to each taxon. To use it, you will be prompted for the directory where the bitmap images (in BMP format) reside. For each taxon, the image file must have a BMP extension and the filename must be identical to the taxon name displayed in the Tree Explorer. All of the valid images that are found will be retrieved and displayed.
