Hi I am trying to save a image of a pipe in paraview, But some background is coming (white space) even when i am trying to save a screenshot in transparent mode. I want only the pipe without any white space on the background. How can i do it? When I am inserting this image in power point, then there are some white space remaining even after cropping it. But i only want the pipe as an image and nothing else. thank you very much. I have attached the image.

I am not sure what you want to achieve here, as long as you have a perspective view like that, there is always going to be white somewhere. I doubt Paraview saves images with an alpha channel (this seems to be what you are looking for).


But since you mention putting it into PowerPoint, there is an easy solution there. Insert the image, navigate to image options, color, "set transparent color" and hit anywhere in the image where there is white. Powerpoint will recognize this as transparent and it will not overlap any other things.

Hi, I did not understand. I attached another image. Can you see the rectangular boundary around the circular image (in black)? I do not want this background, all i want is the blue/red circle, that's it. Will i need to use some other tool like photoshop or something? In power point what u are saying is not working.

Thanks.

Try Picture Format > Color > Set Transparent Color

I do have PowerPoint in another locale, so I cannot tell you exactly what each menu is called in English. It does work. If you can still not find it, use google. Also, nobody forces you to use the whole picture frame of Paraview, you can also crop it in PowerPoint.

Hi, what i am saying is the transparent color works in power point but that space is still being used by the machine/power-point although it is transparent. I want to make that space totally free so that i can place another image right next to the first one.
Are u getting what i am trying to say?
