Printing and Exporting the Display

To print the display, select File -> Print, or you can select Print to Figure. Selecting File > Copy to Clipboard copies the plot image to the clipboard. This is useful if you want to place plot images into other applications. These print options also have equivalent toolbar buttons.

You can also export the display data to a comma-separated variable file.

To export the display, select File > Export to CSV. The currently selected option is exported. The primary input to the first plot is exported (this is the top left if you have multiple plots). The output is the values at the grid of points specified by the current ranges and input values. The inputs for shading and secondary surfaces are not exported.

Note that you cannot print table plots, but you can click and drag to select cells and press Ctrl-C to copy the values to the clipboard, or you can export them to CSV files and then load them into Excel.
