Export selected nodes to a new data file

• Export enables users to export nodes that share common attribute properties.
  
  
• To export a given set of nodes, hold CTRL key and LEFT click on the desired sub-tree or directory. The border of the selected directory will become blue.
  
  
• To unselect a directory, hold CTRL key and LEFT click on the desired directory.
  
  
• Select "Export selected nodes" from the File menu. To export the selected nodes in .tm3 format make the name of the file end with ".tm3".
  
  
• If you want to export it as an ".xml" file, make the name of the file end with ".xml". It will ask you what name to give for the special attribute that represents label. The default is "name" and unless you already have an attribute name that is "name", we don't recommend you choose another one. We must caution you that exporting as ".xml" is much less efficient than exporting as ".tm3" and unless you have a strong preference, you had better export it as ".tm3". You need much more memory to export it as ".xml" and it roughly takes twice as much time to export as ".xml" than as ".tm3".
  
  
• Open this file in Treemap and you will see only the nodes of the directory that were exported.
  
  
• If you experience difficulty exporting a selected directory, you first unselect the previously selected directories and then proceed the exporting process again.

Print the Treemap

• To print the Treemap, select File from the menu bar and click on Print Treemap.
  
  
• A page setup dialog box will appear. Make sure the settings are correct and click OK.
  
  
• Another dialog box will appear as shown below, showing the number of pages to be printed as 1 to 9999. This is a Java bug and only one page will be printed. Click OK.
  
  
• The Treemap will resize to fit in the page setup. In the case of the squarified or strip treemap nodes may move from their original position because of resizing.

Print the Control Panel

To print the Control Panel, follow the steps from above, except select File from the menu bar and click on Print Panel.

Pasting a snapshot of treemap in other applications

Remember that you can always use the standard ALT-PrintScrren command to copy the pixel image of the current window (i.e. the treemap window) and then paste it into a word processor like MS-Word or a presenation tool like PowerPoint.

Print this Document

• There are two ways to print all the links from the Table of Contents page.
  
  
• First way: Go to the Table of Contents page. Then print each page separately, while clicking on "Next" on top of the page. The "Next" link will take you to all the pages of the documentation and will be printed in order.
  
  
• Second way: This method has been checked for Microsoft Explorer. Firstly, go back to the Table of Contents. Then select "File" from the menu bar, and then go to "Print". Once the print option shows up, go to "Options", and click on "Print all linked documents". This will print all the linked pages that are one level deep. Using this method of printing, avoids the trouble of going to each link in the Table of Contents, and printing them individually. However, the printed links might not be in the same order as in the Table of Contents page.
