I have a figure, what is the best way (other than svg) to convert that to
a vector format that can be easily put into a pdf?

thanks

Hi,

GMF uses Apache Batik library to export diagrams to PDF format. I think,
however, that diagram is really exported to SVG and then from SVG to PDF.

Cheers,
Alex

Even that way would be ok for me if at the end of all the conversion the
result is not a bitmap. But that is not the case is it?

Hi,

It' not a bitmap at the end as far as I know. Look for CopyToImasgeUtil
class in GMF - it's a starting point for your investigation. You can try
exporting example editor diagrams to (geoshape, logic) PDF images.

Cheers,
Alex
