Some of the options that are available to you:
**********
1. Copy and Paste:
The simplest thing to do might be to just bring up the diagram that you want to save
as a
graphic file. Copy the diagram to the clipboard by doing an Edit->Select All followed
by an
Edit->Copy. Then open up a graphic application like MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop and
paste
the contents of the clipboard into that new file. Finally can save the new file to
any of
the formats that are supported by the graphic application.
2. Web Publisher:
This option only applies to the Rose 98i Enterprise Edition and all editions of Rose
2000,
2000e and 2001. The Enterprise Edition of Rose 98i and all editions of Rose 2000,
2000e and
2001 contain a built in Web Publisher add in. Run the Web Publisher and then click
on the
'Diagrams' button. You will be given an option to save your diagrams as Windows Bitmap
(.bmp), Portable Network Graphics (.png) or as JPEG (.jpg) files. Your diagrams will be
published to the selected format in the web published model.
3. Rose Script:
The Rose Extensibility Interface (REI) contains two methods called Render and
RenderEnhanced
which can be used to save diagrams to Windows Metafile (.wmf) or Enhanced Windows
Metafile
(.emf) formats respectively. The script listed below can be used to save the currently
active diagram to either of these two formats:
'<<START SCRIPT>>

Sub Main
Begin Dialog SaveDialog ,,180,51,"Save Diagram"
OKButton 132,8,40,14
OptionGroup .OptionGroup1
OptionButton 12,12,84,8,"Windows Metafile (.wmf)",.wmf
OptionButton 12,28,112,8,"Windows Enhanced Metafile (.emf)",.emf
End Dialog
Dim MyDialog As SaveDialog
Dim theModel As Model
Dim theDiagram As Diagram
Const w$ = "Windows Metafiles:*.WMF"
Const e$ = "Enhanced Windows Metafiles:*.EMF"
Set theModel = RoseApp.CurrentModel
Set theDiagram = theModel.GetActiveDiagram
If theDiagram Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "There is currently no active diagram"
Else
result = Dialog(MyDialog)
ctrl = MyDialog.OptionGroup1
If ctrl = 0 Then
f$ = SaveFilename$(theDiagram.Name, w$)
If f$ = "" Then
MsgBox "No file name was specified"
Else
theDiagram.Render f$
End If
Else
f$ = SaveFilename$(theDiagram.Name, e$)
If f$ = "" Then
MsgBox "No file name was specified"
Else
theDiagram.RenderEnhanced f$
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
'<<END SCRIPT>>
'--------------------
Take note however that the script using the GetActiveDiagram method to get the diagram
that
you want to save to a graphic format. This means that you must launch this script
from a
menu item in Rose. You cannot run this script from a script window because if you try
to do
so the script window will be the active window and not a diagram window. To launch
this
script from a menu selection you will need to modify the rose.mnu file in the following
manner:
Menu Tools
{
Separator
option "Class Wizard..."
{
enable %model:writeable
RoseScript $SCRIPT_PATH\cwizard.ebx
}
option "Save ActiveDiagram..."
{
RoseScript $SCRIPT_PATH\RenderRoseDiagrams.ebs
}
}
In this case the script listed above is named RenderRoseDiagrams.ebs and
is located in the directory pointed to by the $SCRIPT_PATH pathmap.
4. Rose Graph
There is a VB application that you can download called Rose Graph that
will allow you to publish your diagrams to various graphic formats
including .gif and .jpg. You can download this at:
