Hello community,
i would like to create a svg from my graphiti diagram in a programmatically way. But i couldnt find a good solution.

I tried several solutions but i wasnt able to run them in a proper way. Example: https://github.com/e2point718/graphiti-examples/blob/master/com.github.e2point718.eclipse.diagramview/src/com/github/e2point718/eclipse/diagramview/SaveGraphitiDiagramAsImage.java

In this example, i couldnt find the method convertDiagramToBytes in line 73.

GraphitiUi.getImageService().convertDiagramToBytes(diagram, SWT.IMAGE_JPEG);

Maybe replaced with another method or moved to another class? I couldnt find it -_-`. Does anybody has a good solution in mind to generate a svg / image?

Thx for your help.

Jochen,

unfortunately that does not come out of the box.

There is an example class for exporting diagram files in the examples.common plugin, but that will only directly work for the standard image formats that SWT supports (e.g. BMP, GIF, JPG). For details you can check the source code at:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/graphiti/org.eclipse.graphiti.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.common/src/org/eclipse/graphiti/examples/common/handler/SaveDiagramAsImageHandler.java

The actual work is done in GraphitiUi.getImageService().convertDiagramToBytes which converts a diagram to an SWT imageand saves this data to a file. For your case you could build something similar, create an image from the diagram and pass it to Graphiti's org.eclipse.graphiti.export.batik.SVGExporter. An example how to use that is in org.eclipse.graphiti.ui.features.DefaultSaveImageFeature#getSaveAsImageOperationForNonStandardExporter.

HTH,
Michael

Hello Michael,

thx for your reply.

I tried to reuse the standard svg exporter and im surprised, that i used the same way you described. On the one hand, it works. I can generate an svg.
But now i have a problem with the svg it self. This exporter cuts the top and bottom figures of my diagram and some items on the left and right. In a summary:
There isnt the whole diagram visualize in the svg. Sad
See at the attchment: A picture and the svg....

The biggest problem is, that the standard exporter has the same problem.

If you could help me, to find out my error, that would be awesome.
Im no professionel programmer so be not so hard with my code Very Happy

This is my code from the standard exporter. I used exisiting code and created my own class.

Jochen,

at first glance this looks to me as if the exporter graps only the visible part of the diagram (the viewport) instead of the complete diagram. Could you double check that?

What do you mean with "the standard exporter has the same problem"? Do you mean the export functionality from within a Graphiti diagram or the export to standard format?
