Export

Export... is used to generate output suitable for other applications with a variety of formats supported. The format is either specified using the option menu or else determined by the filename extension:

cgm	Computer Graphics Metafile
dia	Native Dia Diagram
dxf	Drawing Interchange File: This format is used by other vector graphics applications such as the computer aided design packages like AutoCAD and QCad.
eps	Encapsulated PostScript
hpgl	Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language
png	Portable Network Graphics: This is the standard free graphic format for the Internet.
svg	Scalable Vector Graphics
tex	TeX PSTricks macros: Diagrams in this format can be used directly in TEX and LATEX documents.
wpg	WordPerfect Graphics

Export to the common gif format is not supported because of licensing restrictions placed on users of applications that produce gif images. The use of gif images is not encouraged in the free software community because of this restriction. The png format is a superior replacement.
