How to save Calc chart as png?

[halsnalle]

Is there some way to save a chart from Calc as a PNG-file? In Draw, there's a contextual menu option for saving a chart as a picture, but when I paste my chart into Draw, the title and legend of the chart disappear. That contextual menu option should ideally be available in Calc too.

You may try this way:

Open Grab.app in the /Applications folder

Choose the Capture > Selection menu

Drag over the chart

Save your image. It's a .tiff file

Open it in Preview. Go to the File > Save As… menu

Choose PNG in the Format drop-down. Click Save

I don't see another method, but perhaps someone else will have a better idea.

Thanks, thought of that solution too, but I actually found a better way. I guess I didn't select the chart properly the first time I tried, because now I can copy & paste it to Draw, including legend etc. And then I can simply select the chart in Draw and choose File > Export..., choose PNG from the pulldown and check "Selection" below it, and -- voilà, it exports the chart as a PNG.

Only downside is that the curves in the chart are rugged and not anti-aliased as the text is.
