3.2.5 Print

An advanced printing function is offered, either in visible mode (only the profiles that are visible on the screen are printed), or in global mode (all profiles in the view are printed). A template is offered for defining the output of the printing (this can, for example, include several frames in an arbitrary composition, to which text or images can be added). It can be used for defining and printing standardized outputs. The user can also interactively monitor the print preferences. In any case, the print function is WYSIWYG through an intermediate preview which can be edited by the user. The print menu File $\rightarrow$ Print $\rightarrow$ Standard Report Template opens the default printing template (see Figure 3.28), and allows the user to print or export into PNG format.

From this default template it is possible to customize templates, and to save them for later use. After switching to 'Edit' mode (by clicking on the Edit button), you can add (or remove) several types of objects, such as text, molecular profiles, images, ... These objects can be dragged and dropped inside the template (see Figure 3.29).

The menu File $\rightarrow$ Print $\rightarrow$ Print preview loads the last used template.
