Share the Matrix as an image

Tip

Straight to the app: picasi.app/matrix

What this is about

You want to drop a Matrix into slides, a report, or a post. On export, Picasi produces a self-contained graphic — with axis labels, title, optional filter context, and your team’s color scheme.

How to do it

1. Prepare the Matrix

   Open the Matrix and set the view, time range, metric, and filters exactly how you want them to appear in the image. What is on the screen is what gets exported.

2. Start the export

   Click Share in the top right and pick one of the four export options:

   • Copy SVG to clipboard — SVG on the clipboard. For vector editors and slide tools with SVG support.
   • Copy PNG to clipboard — PNG on the clipboard. For anything that can paste images directly.
   • Download SVG — download the SVG as a file.
   • Download PNG — download the PNG as a file.

3. Adjust export settings (optional)

   Click Settings in the Share popover. Under Export settings you decide how the export looks:

   • Background — White, Dark, Transparent or Custom color.
   • Color theme — Light or Dark for text and frame.
   • Include info — what stands in the graphic beside the Matrix:
     • Matrix only — nothing but the Matrix.
     • + update count and date range — one line below the Matrix.
     • + what you’re seeing right now — view, axes, metric and active filters as text next to the image. Fitting when the graphic is shared without further explanation.

   The settings apply team-wide — everyone in the Workspace exports with the same look after that.

Result

You have a self-contained graphic that stays readable outside of Picasi. The title names the view, the axes are labeled, and depending on the info level the context (time range, filters, metric) is baked right into the image.

Note

SVG exports scale to any size and are the safe pick for print or large screens. PNG exports have a fixed resolution and are usually the faster choice for chats, slides, and the web.

Where the colors come from

The accent colors of the Matrix — for your own sources, for market participants and for neutral values — are no longer set in the export. They come from the Workspace’s Brand settings and apply to the Matrix on screen and to every export alike. In the Colors section of the settings dialog, Open brand settings leads straight there.

Below the Pro plan the Matrix uses the Picasi default colors.
