Fundamentals of exporting graphs

Graphs can be exported in several different ways. You can export them to various supported images or vector formats. You can also export the graph's data source to several standard formats.

The image file formats that can be exported to are Windows bitmap (.bmp), Paintbrush (.pcx), GIF (.gif), Portable Network Graphic (.png), and JPEG (.jpg). You can also choose to export the graph as an XAML (Windows Presentation Format).

The supported vector graphics file formats are Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg), Encapsulated PostScript (.eps), and Portable Document Format (.pdf), as well as both regular Windows Metafile (.wmf) and Enhanced Metafile (.emf).

The formats the data can be exported to are text (.txt), XML, HTML, and Microsoft Excel.
