First complete [[OpenSite/Guides/Publish a plot]].<br /> |steps=<br /> === Publish from the script ===<br /> Use &lt;code&gt;opensite.plot.show()&lt;/code&gt; to publish open figures, or pass a specific figure. Matplotlib uses Agg; the tab shows a published raster, not a live Qt plotting canvas.<br /> <br /> === Navigate the image ===<br /> Use wheel zoom and the plot view’s pan interaction to inspect the raster. This changes the view of the image; it does not recompute axes, rerun the script or improve the underlying image resolution.<br /> <br /> === Save a PNG ===<br /> Use the plot’s {{Button|Save}} action. Choose an existing destination folder and a normal &lt;code&gt;.png&lt;/code&gt; filename. Inspect the saved image; do not infer a vector export from its screen appearance.<br /> <br /> === Copy or close ===<br /> {{Button|Copy}} copies the plot image for pasting into another application. {{Button|Close}} closes its session view. Export images you need before closing the session.<br /> <br /> === Keep evidence with the image ===<br /> Retain the script, source inputs, units and build identifier with the PNG. A plotted curve is not automatically a verified engineering result. For publication-quality output, configure labels/units in the Matplotlib script before publishing.<br /> |result=A PNG exists at your chosen path and can be interpreted alongside its script and units.<br /> |limitations=The help does not claim interactive axis editing, vector plot export, solver results or saved plot tabs inside .osdoc.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Continue learning ==<br /> [[OpenSite/User manual|User manual]] · [[OpenSite/Tutorials|Tutorial pathways]] · [[OpenSite/Support|Get help]]<br /> <br /> &lt;div class=&quot;os-page-nav&quot;&gt;{{Docnav|OpenSite/Guides/Inspect Output|OpenSite/Tutorials|OpenSite/User manual|User manual}}&lt;/div&gt;<br /> [[Category:OpenSite documentation]]</div>
