Briefly |
Copy a picture from another application (such as a web browser) and paste it into Fathom. Or, select an object (such as a graph), choose Copy Picture from the Edit menu, deselect the graph, and paste the picture into Fathom (useful for preserving a graph before you go on and change things). |
Pictures have various purposes in a Fathom document, from showing an experimental setup, to ornamenting a report, to making a fancy title, to preserving a graph state.
You can copy pictures from applications that support metafile format (on Windows) or PICT format (on Macintosh).
You can paste a picture into a Fathom document using the Paste Picture command on the Edit menu. In order for the command to be active, there must be nothing selected in the document.
Once a picture is in Fathom, you can move and resize it by dragging on its borders.
A picture saved on one platform (e.g. Windows), when opened using Fathom on the other platform (e.g. Macintosh) will display properly but may not print at the same resolution as on the original platform.
