Hello,

I try to save a GEF model as a SVG file. The GMF mindmap example contains functionality to do this. But when I looked at the sourcecode of the mindmap example I didn't find any classes or packages that realize the SVG export. So I have two questions.
1)Does anybody know which (GMF-, GEF-) classes or packages can be used to realize SVG export ?
2) Does a tutorial exist where the use of the corresponding classes is explained (or code examples)?

Regards

Simon

Hello Sven,

thank you for Your answer and sorry for the late response. The class org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.render.util.CopyToImageUt il is very useful if you want to store an instance of org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.notation.Diagram in a SVG file. My problem was that I wanted to store "pure" draw2d-figures in a SVG file (I formulated my questions a little bit imprecise). But I found the class org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.draw2d.ui.render.awt.internal.svg.ex port.GraphicsSVG to do that . There is a very good example plugin of the University of Kassel where this class is used. You can download the plugin here: http:// sourceforge.net/projects/janus-plugin/files/Image%20Export%2 0Formats/0.11.0/de.unikassel.imageexport.svg_0.11.0.jar/down load.

Regards

Simon
