the original plot. The file format also is highly compatible with operating system image viewers, office applications, email applications, and Web browsers, as long as you aren't still using a 90s-era browser like Netscape Navigator 3.
If your primary intent is to publish the image, either digitally as a PDF or physically as a printed piece, I recommend the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. While PNG is a pixel-based image, EPS is a vector image, which maintains its smooth definition when scaled. The Windows Metafile (WMF) format also is recommended for Windows-only applications. The only two downsides with EPS and WMF files are that they don't support translucency and file sizes can be large.
To export plot images in Tecplot 360 or Tecplot Focus, choose the Export option from the File menu (In Tecplot RS, the Export option is available in the Project menu). If you want more information on the available exporting options, click on the Help button at the bottom of the export dialog.<end_of_turn>
