EXPORT_BITMAP array

MATRIX Array Level: 3

The EXPORT_BITMAP array exports a high resulution bitmap file. Only one bitmap file is exported per EXPORT_BITMAP array. If you wish to export multiple bitmaps, than you will need to define multiple EXPORT_BITMAP arrays.

Note
IMPORTANT: When exporting BITMAP files, RELATIVE paths are always preferred and much safer.
Fields in the EXPORT_BITMAP array
Description
JOB=NAME Assign Cell to use. Required. Dynamic Job References are also supported.
FILE=LOCATION File path for the exported bitmap file. The path may be either Absolute or Relative. (IMPORTANT: When exporting, RELATIVE paths are always preferred and much safer).
FOLDER=LOCATION Path for the exported bitmap file(s). Each layer (from included_layers) will be output as a separate file. This is an excellent way to generate a separate image for each layer. The folder path may be either Absolute or Relative. (IMPORTANT: When exporting, RELATIVE paths are always preferred and much safer).
DPI=NUM Export Bitmap Resolution - Pixels Per Inch. (default: 800.0)
DPM=NUM Export Bitmap Resolution - Pixels Per Millimeter. (ex: 100.0)
INVERT Invert Bitmap (i.e make negative image).
MIRROR Mirror Bitmap (i.e flip image).
NO_PIXEL_APPROXIMATION Pixel approximation drastically improves final image sharpness and scale. However in some cases it may cause undesired effects - using this option will prevent using Pixel approximation.
DROPSPACING_H=NUM Add horizontal pixel spacing, perfect for droplet applications. Choose 0-10 (default: 0).
DROPSPACING_V=NUM Add vertical pixel spacing, perfect for droplet applications. Choose 0-10 (default: 0).
XSCALE=NUM Assign horizontal scale to outputted image (default: 1.0).
COMPENSATION_H=NUM Reduce or expand all geometries in the horizontal direction. (in pixels)
COMPENSATION_V=NUM Reduce or expand all geometries in the vertical direction. (in pixels)

Example EXPORT_BITMAP Array:

EXPORT_BITMAP {
JOB=PowerPointDino
FILE=myFilesOutput/Image/MyBottomPreview.bmp
DPI=15000
DROPSPACING_H=2
}
