A blog chart looks optimal if the width is about 600 pixel.
This is for managing a chart image when you can only make a screen capture. and when only msPaint is the Image Editor.
The laptop screens are normally about 1300 pixels wide,
and we need only half of that width in a chart.
If we capture full width Screen Capture and scale down, clarity is lost, either at blogger level or at image editor.
Instead, we can set the browser window width to approximately half the screen width, or about 650pixel wide.
Make a ScreenCapture.
Paste it to msPaint.
The chart screencapture is about 600 to 700 pixel wide now. But it has the extra screen portion in the image.
How to weed them out ?
Use the "Rectangle" selector tool icon at the top of the msPaint Toolbox.
Left click on the Left Top corner, keep mouse button clicked and drag the mouse cursor to the Right Bottom corner. On clicking the mouse the chosen portion has got selected.
After choosing, the chosen portion is bordered by a dashed blue [or any windows theme color] rectangle.
Its movable, to place at another part of the page.
Right click the chosen portion, and select "copy to" and save to a file.
[one can also simply copy and paste. But if a file is created we will not lose the hardwork incase]
This is the saved image,
Now we can close the msPaint, & reopen or select a "New" image page, and open the saved image portion in it for further editing.
Are we ready now to add all those nice trend lines, our footprints, chest thumbings, tall claims :) :)
?
Seems well cooked and done. All spicy and glossy .... !
Save it, yep, save it. Always keep saving so the hardwork is kept boiled down.
If you wish to know if this is the image size you wanted .... hey presto, look at the status bar, as you move the mouse cursor it is shown there as x, y position of cursor in pixels.
It will tell you what is the size of this image, as well how much to trim.
Look at that, it looks so pretty, huh? huh !
Say "YES", that would encourage me to write more .... :)
Have a great charting, TA-ing and blogging [blog posting] ....
Have a great day, week, month, year, :D
[pssst: piyush, i do not use msPaint. I checked it out to answer you.]
