[argouml-dev] Diagrams as SVG

[Anthony Rogers]

I recently exported a pretty simple diagram for one of my personal side projects in order to open the image in other programs and fine-tune its appearance. When I examined the XML, however, I discovered that a pretty straightforward Class Diagram was a nightmare of chaotic SVG. Couple of questions I have in response to this: Before exporting a diagram, is ArgoUML managing the diagram's images as SVG? Or, is it stored in some other format and then transformed into SVG at the time of export? I checked the Cookbook §5.3. Diagrams in order to find out how ArgoUML is generating its SVG code, but I saw nothing about SVG in this part of the documentation. I looked a few other places in the Cookbook as well with no luck. Is the component that generates SVG documented? If not, could someone point me to the code that is responsible for it? (A brief overview of the code would be a welcome addition, but I'd be happy just to know where the SVG generation is happening if you don't care to explain things.) Thanks! —Zearin
