The Snapshot Pane

The third pane on the main tab pane is the Snapshot pane. On this pane we can grab a picture of the graph on the Graph pane using the $snapshot() method of the Graph2 object and then save it in various ways. In practice, you may also want to pass it to another Picture variable, etc.

This pane includes a Picture field for displaying the most recently taken or retrieved snapshot and an array of controls for creating and manipulating Graph2 snapshots. The radio buttons in the upper right determine whether parameters are sent with the $snapshot() method. If parameters for resizing are desired, then fields for entering parameter values appear.

The methods for saving snapshots and snapshot settings in the database have not yet been completed, but will be soon. Additional fields will be required for assigning name and description values to those records.
