Saving a Graph
Graphs can be saved in three different formats; MathGV (*.MGF) format, bitmap picture (*.BMP) format and jpeg picture format (*.JPG).

MathGV ™ (*.MGF) - This is MathGV’s proprietary file format. It can not be read or written by other programs. The format is specific to MathGV. Newer versions of MathGV can read files created by older versions but, older program versions can not read newer files. Files are always saved in the current programs format. These files can be opened and modified at a later time. They require much less disk space than bitmap files. The entire graph must be save in this format; a selected region can not be saved in this format.

Bitmap (*.BMP) - All graphs are drawn on resizable bitmaps. A graph's entire bitmap or a selected region may be saved in a bitmap file. Saved bitmap picture files can be used by other programs. For information on bitmap and graph color resolution see: Frequently Asked Questions.

JPEG (*.JPG) – Graphs can be saved as jpeg picture files. These compressed files usually require less disk space than bitmap files.
