Image Pedigrees
Instead of printing a pedigree, you can save it as an image file. The main use is when you want to email a pedigree and text or HTML pedigrees are unsuitable.
BA can save image pedigrees in three formats: PNG, BMP and JPEG. PNG is the best for use on the web because its portable between different platforms (e.g. Mac) and does not involve loss of quality in the image (unlike JPEG).
To create an image pedigree in BA, all you need do is:
Display the pedigree on-screen as if you were going to print it
Select Save As from the Form menu
Enter the filename, and choose any options you want
Click OK.
Choose from these options:
Select the size of the image (in pixels). 2 methods are provided: either select a screen size within which the image is to be made to fit e.g. to force creation of an image that will display on 800x600, or 1024x768 screen resolution etc.; OR you can simply choose an image resolution in DPI and BA will determine the pixel size based on 'natural' printed size of the pedigree.
Select a margin - in pixels.
Optionally choose whether to have a shadowed 'paper edge' added round the image.
NOTE:
1. All the image pedigrees you see on this web site were created in this way. We used a margin of 10 pixels for most images together with a shadowed 'paper edge'. The hi-res images were created using 150dpi resolution; the medium sized images were designed to fit on 800x600 screens. The thumbnails were created by resizing the larger images using Paint Shop Pro.
2. With the Personal Edition of BA, image pedigrees require that your chosen licence name appears in the pedigree heading.
