Taking snapshots

Click the Snapshot button to open a new window with the current view rendered in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. SVG is a vectorized format, meaning it can be expanded without losing detail, making it ideal for printing and publication. To save the snapshot to a file, use the browser's Save function or print to a PDF (if available). Unfortunately, various web browsers handle the snapshots differently (see below).

Snapshot browser compatibility

browser	view	save	print	notes
Safari	✓	✓	✓	Save in "Page Source" format
Chrome	✓		✓	Can be saved by printing to PDF (if available). Versions 15 and later can have black wedges; there is currently no workaround.
Firefox	✓	✓	✓	Firefox 5 and earlier shows black wedges when first viewing; fixed by saving SVG and re-opening.
Opera	✓	✓	✓	Label positioning is off when viewing or printing; fixed by saving and opening with a different browser/viewer.
