We offer a scalable (vector-based) graphic of your current tracks display, suitable for use in publications, via the menu (View then PDF). This PDF can then be used with your editor of choice (e.g. Adobe illustrator) to edit and export the image as PNG, TIFF, SVG, or PDF with the dpi (dots per inch value) of your choice.
