Printing charts
Augean uses Vectors Graphics to generate very high quality charts suitable for printing.
Chrome has an excellent print driver, which can generate a PDF from Augean (the vector graphics are preserved inside the PDF).
These PDF file can be sent to a professional printing service, we recommend MegaPrint MegaPrint can adjust the chart size to fit the paper. (we tried other services, and they were not as good)
Right Click⟶Print View makes the chart fullscreen and hides the title and other windows.
(Click on the image to enlarge) Print to a PDF file using the web browser print button.
Right Click⟶Print View - End restores the original view after printing.
Resize the window so it fits the chart, then resize the web browser window before printing - this avoids space around the PDF.
shortcut key 'w', will fit the chart to the window.
