Exporting Ravel Graphics

Ravel can export any canvas to a number of other file formats, using the “File/Export Canvas as…” command.

Exporting Data from Ravel

We are aware that, while Ravel’s analytic powers exceed that of most other programs (apart from programming languages like R and Python), our graphics are currently limited (we’ll expand

the available plots and their formatting capabilities in future releases). We’ve therefore made it possible to export data from Ravel from almost anywhere—from a Ravel itself, a sheet, a chart, a variable, etc. Once you’ve done the analysis you want to perform, you can export the resulting data to other programs for more polished plotting.

Columnar, where each row is for a single data point; and
series data).

To export data in CSV format from Ravel , choose the data object from which you wish to export, hover the mouse over it, and choose “Export CSV” from its context menu.
