### Other Neat Features
#### Taking Pictures of Plates
If you double click on a plate
(try to avoid clicking a well since that will change your selection)
plate-tool will do some magic to take a screenshot of your plate
and deposit it in your clipboard for you.
You can then paste this into PowerPoint, GIMP, or whereever else
you want a pretty picture of a plate.
_NOTE:_ I won't guarantee this feature will work in all contexts;
it relies on your browser thinking that you have plate-tool open
in a "secure context" (localhost or https).
#### Turn off the in-transfer hashes
Have you noticed that when you select a transfer, the wells to
be used in that transfer have little diagonal lines over them?
Hopefully you have, because this is supposed to happen!
However, if you want to take a Pretty Plate Picture (see above),
you might want these indicators turned off.
To disable the indicators, mouse over "Options" (top-left of screen), then "Styles",
then click "Toggle transfer hashes".
To turn them back on, do the exact same thing.
