Write as BMP
============

The "Write as BMP" submenu can be found in the :ref:`File Menu<file_menu>`, and gives access to the possibility of writing networks, tables, and probabilities as BMPs (for each insertion into other programs).

Write Network
-------------

The Write Network function saves the active network to a BMP file. Since BMP files can become very large, it is possible that there is not enough memory on the machine to create a large enough file. If this is the case, Hugin will ask for permission to split the BMP into a number of files, which can be created.

Write Network w/Monitors
------------------------

Same as Write Network, but includes all visible :ref:`monitors<monitor_windows>` in the BMP file as well.

Write Tables
------------

The Write Tables function writes the *open* tables to a BMP file. That is, it is not dependent on the selected nodes, only the tables shown in the :ref:`table pane<tables_pane>`. Again, the BMP may need to split into several files.

Write Probabilities
-------------------

The Write Probabilities function writes the current probabilities (beliefs) of the selected nodes to a BMP file. Again, the BMP may need to split into several files.
