How do you download a picture of your algorithm?

Hi. I want to download a picture of my algorithm so that I can share it and so that the text can be copied. How is this done? Have seen it being posted before.

Help please.

Anyone who can help??

You can easily attach an algorithm backtest to a post. The code text can be copied, or more conveniently, the entire algorithm can be 'cloned'. Simply create a full backtest of your algorithm. Then create a post as normal. Next, in the upper right corner of the post text entry box there is a dropdown labeled 'Attach'. Click on that and select 'Backtest'. A popup will appear showing all your algos with backtests. Select the algo you want and then select the backtest you want.

The backtest and associated algo will then appear in your post.

You can also create a 'tearsheet' of your backtest by running the below code in Research, or from the Notebook tab of a strategy backtest. Just replace the backtest ID with one of your own, as you won't be able to run mine:

bt = get_backtest('5ddd19c0380ec24ce5f30740')  
bt.create_full_tear_sheet()  

You can then download the tearsheet from Research.

Hi. Thank you for the answers. What I mean is a file where only the code is visible, in colors and it is possible to copy it and send it in another medium.

Kindly
