Exporting plot to currently open ppt

[VesnaT]

• Exporting to currently open ppt Applicability: General. Importance: Low, but it was very pleasant to use on Spotfire. (KH)
  • JD: This is very platform specific

[irgolic]

Supposedly CTRL+C CTRL+V-ing in a widget copies the plot. This should be tested by someone else too.

@thocevar for Windows, @lanzagar for Linux?

[thocevar]

I tried all widgets in our Visualization section on Windows. Almost all of them work.

• Distributions: background in the widget changes from gray to white on Ctrl-C.
• Venn Diagram: the copied image has white background, while the widget has gray.
• Pythagorean Forest: Ctrl-C doesn't work.
• CN2 Rule Viewer: Ctrl-C doesn't work (it's a table not an image).

[lanzagar]

Similar on linux. Scatter plot also has (unnecessary) bottom and right borders when I paste the image

[ajdapretnar]

I think white/gray background is actually expected. I assume images have transparent background, with the image being on gray in Distributions and Venn by chance. @janezd Correct me if I am wrong.

[lanzagar]

That the copied image has a different background is not so problematic. But the case in Distributions, where pressing Ctrl-C changes the look of the widget is a bug (even if pretty harmless).

Is Mac OS going to be supported too?

@borondics I have asked for Win and Linux just because I have already tested on Mac and it works. :) However, I assume these bugs are present regardless of the platform.

[borondics]

Ajda, you are right indeed it works. For whatever reason I had to restart my Power Point and it worked fine. :D

Perhaps a 'Copy plot' button should be added to the status bar?

[ajdapretnar]

I would be cautious with extending the status bar. It is growing rapidly and some widgets can't handle many more options below.

Also, I don't think it is really needed. Anyone can simply save an image on a computer and use it in ppt. A shortcut is just a welcome feature and it is intuitive.

[borondics]

Would it be possible to somehow match the Copy/Paste image resolution to the screen resolution? Or at least increase it so that the Copy/Paste image becomes better quality? What I really like is of course that it is only the graph that Copy/Paste gives and that the last number on the axis is also fully captured, while it is not visible in the window.

Here is what I am getting on a Mac with Retina screen.

Copy/Paste Resolution: 913x691

Screen Capture tool of OS X (let's ignore that the whole widget window is on the picture) Resolution: 2024x1668

I can't seem to export data easily to an excel - or power point. it's so easy to import - impossible to export - why do I get pickle files...?! I just want excel, or png/jpeg.

[janezd]

I confirm: on Retina screen, the image is captured with non-Retina resolution, i.e. it shows 72 ppi instead of 144 ppi. @markotoplak, @ales-erjavec, do you know how to fix this?

[janezd]

Attempted fixes for retina are in https://github.com/biolab/orange-widget-base/pull/208.

It appears, though, that macOs clipboard does not know the actual dpi of image data and always assumes 72 dpi. Copied images will have the full resolution but will appear too large.
