Formats

PNG or JPG at 300 or 600 dpi, or a vector PDF that stays sharp at any size.

From map to figure

Sooner or later the map has to leave the screen and go into a document. Figure export saves the view you have arranged, in its colours and order, as a figure you can place in a thesis chapter, a journal submission or a slide.

The figure shows what you have built, so the work of arranging and colouring the map carries straight through to the page.

Making a figure

Set the map up first, then export.

Your file. Your browser. Your screen. Nothing travels to Themescape.

Formats

PNG and JPG are images at 300 or 600 dpi, and a JPG always has a solid background. PDF is vector, so it stays sharp at any size and has no resolution to choose. Widths are single column at 85 mm, double column at 175 mm, thesis page at 160 mm, poster at 400 mm, or as on screen.

File names

Figure files are named by number and view, such as themescape-figure-1-node-network.pdf. The default figure title, Thematic map of your project, uses the project title from your Settings tab.

Captions and alt text

A figure needs a caption that stands on its own and alt text for readers using a screen reader. The Figure gallery page has guidance on both.

Citing the software

The figure note always ends with a short citation of Themescape in your chosen style, such as (Price, 2026) in APA, and Figure export gives the full reference to copy for your reference list. In APA 7th it reads: Price, C. (2026). Themescape (Version 3.5) [Computer software]. Themescape. https://themescape.co.nz
