Export Chart Button Icon
Download Chart		Downloads the data table and chart as a .tgraph file to your local drive.
Export Image Button Icon
Download Image		Downloads the chart as a bitmap image file (PNG, JPEG, PDF, TIF) to your local drive. You can specify the width of the bitmap to up to 2400 pixels. (Refer to Grid & Chart Format on how orientation and format size changes the size and shape of your bitmap file.)
Choose the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image format for web publishing. SVG files are smaller yet create sharper and clearer images. Most popular browsers support this format. However, most PC applications might not fully support this format, in which case you should use a bitmap file format instead.
