How do I export a STATISTICA graph to another application?

Export via the Clipboard (and Paste or Paste Special via OLE). The quickest way to export a graph is to copy it to the Clipboard and then paste it into another application. STATISTICA native, Windows metafile, and bitmap formats are created in the Clipboard and can be used in other applications.

STATISTICA Graphs can be pasted into other application documents (e.g., word processor documents or spreadsheets) either as embedded objects or as objects linked to graph files. If STATISTICA Graphs are pasted to other applications via Windows OLE, they maintain their relations to STATISTICA and thus can be interactively edited from within the other application.

Linking STATISTICA Graph files via OLE. STATISTICA Graph files can also be inserted and linked via OLE to other applications.

Export to another file format. If the graph to be saved is to be used by an application that does not support OLE or ActiveX, you can choose to save the file as a metafile (file name extension *.wmf), bitmap (file name extension *.bmp), JPEG (file name extension *.jpg), or PNG (portable network graphics file; file name extension *.png) by selecting the appropriate option from the Save as type box in the Save As dialog.

Limitations of the standard Windows metafile format. Very large (in terms of the number of data points represented) or very complex graphs that can be produced by STATISTICA can exceed the capacity of the Windows metafile graphics format used in the Windows 95 and 98 systems. In those circumstances, use the JPG, PNG, or bitmap representation instead.
