Extension Package
The yExport extension package adds support for popular vector graphics file formats to the yFiles for Java graph visualization library.
The current yExport version is 1.5. Please refer to the release notes to learn more about the technical requirements and feature enhancements of this latest version.
Next-generation yFiles for Java (Swing)
Java 8
or higher
or higher
Beginning with version 3.0, the yFiles for Java (Swing) diagramming library features a brand-new, modern API which requires Java 8. This API is mature and provides many new features that are not available out-of-the-box in the 2.x line. It also provides the functionality of the ySVG, yExport and yBPMN package as source code application, therefore the extension packages are no longer required.
We recommend to start development with the next-generation yFiles for Java in new Java Swing projects.
Especially in projects that don't need to support legacy Java versions before Java 8, this
is the recommended way to realize your application's diagram visualization part.
Features
yExport enables convenient export of the contents of a yFiles Graph2DView to a number of vector graphics file formats.
The following output formats are available to save the visual representations for nodes and edges as well as any other graphical decorations visible:
- PDF (Portable Document Format) - desktop publishing file format.
- SWF (Macromedia® Flash®) - vector graphics file format for publishing multimedia contents on the Web.
- EMF (Windows Enhanced Metafile) - graphics file format on Microsoft® Windows® systems.
- EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) - PostScript® document with additional restrictions that describes an image or drawing.
The PDF output capabilities of yExport enable to easily integrate diagrams in PDF documents, the de-facto standard for printable documents.
EMF is the format of choice to import, respectively paste via the clipboard, high-quality diagrams into Windows text processing and graphics applications, like, e.g., Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint.
