I am running a simulation for which I create figures for various results. I want to export them for each design point. How can I do this?

    Here's a sample code to use in a Python Code object. For this to work, you will have to use version 23.1 and above as picture export in batch mode did not work in earlier versions.

    Small bonus: you'll see how to retrieve the design point number and the user_files folder without the need for executing a script at project page level.

  figures=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(DataModelObjectCategory.Figure)
   
   
  import os
  cmd = 'returnValue(GetUserFilesDirectory())'
   
  wd=this.Parent.Parent.WorkingDir
  dp=wd.split('\\')[-4]
  user_dir=os.path.join(wd,'..\\..\\..\\user_files')
   
  for fig in figures:

     
    ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.Activate(fig)
    filename=user_dir+'\\'+'Figure - '+fig.Parent.Name+'_'+dp+'.jpg'
    ExtAPI.Graphics.ExportImage(filename)

    Hello @Pierre Thieffry ,

    thank you for the post, it is really helpful!

    I am trying to do some modifications on the legend text, to increase it.

    I've tried something like this based on the documentation which I found on the web, but it is not working:

    ExtAPI.Graphics.ExportImage(filename,  GraphicsImageExportFormat('png'), GraphicsImageExportSettings.FontMagnification(1.3))


    Can you help me please with this ?
