Notes
- The system clips the image size to the smallest bounding rectangle that encompasses all diagram elements
- You can scale the size of the saved (bitmap) image upwards or downwards, using the option on the 'Diagram' page of the 'Preferences' dialog ('Start > Appearance > Preferences > Preferences > Diagram')
- You can also enable and disable Diagram Frames on the images that you capture of a diagram, on the same page of the 'Preferences' dialog
- By deselecting the 'Printable' option on an element on a diagram, you can omit that element from the diagram image copied to file
