Export to Graphics

You can export your diagram to an image file and then use its graphical representation in external applications. For example, insert a diagram image into your program documentation (e.g. use MS Word), create big posters with your diagram, publish them to Web.

Database Designer for PostgreSQL supports the following image types:

• Vector graphics: Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF). Use the File | Export | Vector Graphics menu item.
• Bitmap images: PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP. Use the File | Export | Image menu item

When you select the necessary image type from the File | Export menu, the Save As dialog window will appear. Select the graphic format you need (i.e. PNG for the Image menu item or EMF for the Vector Graphics), and type in the name of the graphics file. Click OK to save the file.

Please note, that exporting a diagram to the vector graphics format allows you to freely scale a diagram of any size without any noticeable distortions. It enables you to create big posters with the diagram to demonstrate the data logic of your application.
