Once you have created your plot, use this section to learn how to share it!
Tecplot RS includes many methods of sharing your created plots with others. You can choose from several different ways to save, print, or export your plot, so that you can select the method most appropriate for your intended audience. The following table summarizes each option and its uses.

• BMP Export • PS Export |
Different formats give flexibility between size and accuracy. Easily transmitted electronically. Users must have software capable of reading the selected format.
Tecplot RS’s EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) export format concatenates several PostScript files, resulting in a set of images that can resemble an animation sequence. |

Exporting an Animation or Group of Images • MPEG-4 |
Ideal for displaying multiple plots, especially those that represent time-stepped animations. Great for adding to Web pages or transmitting electronically. Requires that the user has a viewer capable of reading the specific format. |
|
• Layout File |
Can be shared with others who have access to Tecplot 360 or Tecplot Focus but not Tecplot RS. Gives limited ability to modify the plot (for example, in grid plots you can change the rotation or variable, but not the time step). Similar to a single-view option. |
|
Creates an animation using macro commands. |
To utilize these output options, use one of two workflows, depending on whether you wish to produce a single page or an automated series of pages.
