#2253 — Re: Problem(?) pasting graphic as bitmap (Mathematica 8.0 & Mac OSX )

Assign the value of the graphic to a variable, e.g.:

   grf = Plot3D[x^2 - y^2, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]

Now use Export with the appropriate type of file, e.g.:

   Export["grf.png", grf, "PNG"]

(Be sure to use SetDirectory in case the place to which you want to 
export is not your current working directory, which you can see by 
evaluating Directory[] .)
