8.2.3. Exporting: Support for Other Formats

Dia supports exporting to many other types of file, such as:

  • Computer Graphics Metafile (.cgm)

  • Dia Native Diagram (.dia)

  • Dia Shape File (.shape)

  • AutoCad Drawing eXchange Format (.dxf)

  • HP Graphics Language (.plt, .hpgl)

  • Encapsulated Postscript (.eps, .epsi)

  • Portable Network Graphics (.png)

  • Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)

  • Scalable Vector Graphics gzip compressed (.svgz)

  • TeX Metapost macros (.mp)

  • TeX PSTricks macros (.tex)

  • WordPerfect Graphics (.wpg)

  • XFig format (.fig)

  • XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) (.code)

Dia cannot load files in most of these formats. These formats are useful for diagrams that you need to use in another application or to distribute to users of another operating system that Dia does not support.

To create a file in one of these formats, select File->Export... from the Main Popup Menu. Choose a name and the desired format in the resulting dialog, which works like a save dialog. An appropriate file extension is automatically added.
