Hello,

I have been trying out GRAPHITI for some time now and exploring in graphiti some common features available in GEF/GMF. I have a requirement to save the image as 'SVG', Well I could easily export my IFigure into svg in gef and gmf, I am not finding a way in graphiti to do it.

I tried to export the IFigure as I would normally do in GEF( as below) but am hitting some exceptions.

public static void saveAsSVG(String saveLocation, IFigure rootFigure) {
Rectangle rootFigureBounds = rootFigure.getBounds();
GraphicsSVG graphics = GraphicsSVG.getInstance(rootFigureBounds.getTranslated(rootF igureBounds.getLocation().negate()));
SVGIDGenerator generator = new SVGIDGenerator();

graphics.getSVGGraphics2D().getGeneratorContext().setIDGener ator(generator);
graphics.translate(rootFigureBounds.getLocation().negate());
rootFigure.paint(graphics);
OutputStream outputStream = null;
try {
outputStream = new FileOutputStream (saveLocation);
graphics.getSVGGraphics2D().stream(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream)));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

It appears to me like some controls in graphiti do not support the same graphics element . Could someone please help me out here.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Murthy

After a little investigation I was able to find that the svg export works perfectly fine if my diagram does not contain any Texts,Labels. I am hitting a 'NotImplemented' exception from graphics exactly at line graphics.setTextAntialias(SWT.ON); in GFText.java

Any thoughts ?

If you install the graphiti plugin "org.eclipse.graphiti.export.batik" it is possible to save the diagram (or only selected parts) as type svg. From the context menu choose "Export Diagram...".

But we faced the same problem: Text and Labels are not exported.

Hi Murthy

you can install the new feature

org.eclipse.graphiti.sdk.plus.feature

from our update site.
It contains the svg export functionality.

Text should be rendered correctly if you export the whole diagram.

Does it work?

Best, Tim
