Hi Adrian,
thanks for the nice words, I even see a couple of unexpected downloads
at SourceForge :). We implemented initial SVG export. I just uploaded
it to SourceForge, see
http://www.se.eecs.uni-kassel.de/~thm/Projects/ImageExport/i ndex.html
Next week I will take a look at GMF and check whether we can use their
export code. It is certainly more advanced than our code. It probably
couldn't be less advanced :>. In other words: we just started
implementing it and exported some very simple diagrams and it could be a
base to start working on. However, if the GMF code looks good I would
quickly dump our code and integrate theirs without looking back and just
keep the "have one generic image export plug in for all types of GEF
diagrams idea".
Regards, Thomas.

Ok, I just upped the second release containing inital SVG export code.
Still, to the GEF gurus: how about exporting the GEF examples' packages?
Is that possible? Randy? Pratik? Anybody?
Regards, Thomas.
