Is there a way printing graphs full page & without the small graph icons or chart options?
I have tried from 'select a graph' & 'graphs', selecting landscape and still only filling a portion of the paper.

Re: Printable graphs
Is there not a 'fit to page' (or something similar) in your printer options?
There's currently no option to print just the chart rather than the window; it's something I could perhaps add in future. For now you could save the graph first, in Select-A-Graph, or use the web copy which gets created for the standard graphs. But any stretching etc would have to be handled by your printer driver.

Re: Printable graphs
I can choose fit to page in my printer options, by default it prints the actual size.

Re: Printable graphs
Hi nitrx.
here are a couple of ways to get the graphs printed.
1. screen grab. Windows print screen. Paste the image into a paint software and size to fit.
I use MWsnap http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html Its easy to use and FREE
2. Use the data directly to generate a graph in a spreadsheet. Try Open Office for a freebie
Your final choice might rest on EXACTLY what you want to print. Do you really want paper ?

Re: Printable graphs
Thank you for your replies; I have downloaded 'mwsnap' and will give it a try.
It only took a couple of minutes to do a 'print screen' and edit in PSP, but I thought there might be a choice in 'Cumulus' to print only individual graphs.
My Lexmark laser printer does not have the option to print full screen or stretch, even so, it would still include the graph options etc at the base of the window.

Re: Printable graphs
Can I just ask what is your purpose of printing graphs? If it is for record keeping then why not just save electronically (and backup to CD/DVD if it is that important). How often is anyone going to look at these bits of printed paper? Unless I have misunderstood something, it seems like a terrible waste of paper/ink/energy?
