Export... is used to generate output suitable for other applications with a variety of formats supported. The format is either specified using the option menu or else determined by the filename extension:
| cgm | Computer Graphics Metafile |
|---|---|
| dia | Native Dia Diagram |
| dxf | Drawing Interchange File: This format is used by other vector graphics applications such as the computer aided design packages like AutoCAD and QCad. |
| eps | Encapsulated PostScript |
| hpgl | Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language |
| png | Portable Network Graphics: This is the standard free graphic format for the Internet. |
| svg | Scalable Vector Graphics |
| tex | TeX PSTricks macros: Diagrams in this format can be used directly in TEX and LATEX documents. |
| wpg | WordPerfect Graphics |
Export to the common gif format is not supported because of licensing restrictions placed on users of applications that produce gif images. The use of gif images is not encouraged in the free software community because of this restriction. The png format is a superior replacement.
