1. Screen capture saving: Open the scanning result window of potential energy surface in the calculation software, and use the screen capture tool to capture the image to be saved. For example, press Alt+PrintScreen to grab the current window to the clipboard, then open the drawing software (such as the drawing that comes with Windows), paste it with Ctrl+V, and save it in the image format you want.
2. Export and save: Some computing software supports exporting the generated potential energy surface scanned images to 3D model files such as cubes, STL or VRML files, or image formats such as PNG and JPEG. You can select the Export option in the corresponding menu and save it in a suitable format.
3. External screen capture: If you use a virtual machine or a remote desktop when running the potential energy surface scanning calculation, you can use external screen capture tools to perform screen capture operations and save images, such as screen capture tools, Greenshot and other screen capture applications.
It should be noted that when saving the scanned image of the potential energy surface, the saved image should be clearly readable and not distorted. At the same time, it is also important to choose the appropriate image format. Different image formats may differ in resolution, color depth and transparency. If you need a higher quality image, you can consider exporting the potential energy surface scanning data set to a professional visualization tool for processing, such as gopenmol or vmd.
