GRAPH Editor: Exporting DES to Image File


To save an image of your DES, open the File menu and select Export to image. This will open a file browser. Choose the location you wish to save your DES image and choose the file type of your image, either Encapsulated PDF (*.pdf), PDF (*.pdf), or Portable Network Graphic (*.png). Below is an example of a DES that has been exported to a PNG image. PDF saves the DES on an A4 size page. Encapsulated PDF saves DES on a page cropped to the size of the DES.

You can choose to export images for all DES in your project by selecting Export All from the File menu, then clicking on the desired image type (*.pdf or *.png). An image of each DES will be created in a subdirectory called images. Please note that only images that have been created or edited in the graphical editor will be exported as images. This will export all DES, including DES that are instantiations of templates.

You can also export images for all template DES in the project. Select File, Export All Template, then select the format that you want to export as. It follows the same process as exporting all DES, placing each image in the subfolder images. This option will only export images of template DES, not any instantations or any manually created DES.
