Copying Spectra Copying spectra to other applications NUTS provides multiple options for copying spectra into other applications, either via the clipboard or by writing to a file. In the Windows versions, the choices are bitmap or metaile, and there are variations in the type of metafile. This is the quickest way to place spectra into reports and is often sufficient. The drawback to a bitmap is that the picture is created pixel by pixel and so is limited to screen resolution, whereas NMR data usually has much better inherent digital resolution. The spectra can end up looking coarse, similar to a FAXed image.
Distortions can also result when the bitmap is re-sized.
The quality of the final image will be affected by the size of the NUTS window before executing Copy. A large window will contain more pixels, so the resolution will be better. It may work better to set the NUTS window to the size of the final image desired, then Copy, and don't resize after pasting. The disadvantage is that it is slow and the resulting picture when pasted into other programs can be very large. The more data points you have displayed, the slower the operation is.
