Graph export to SVG images - Experimental
SVG stands for "Scalable Vector Graphics". Images in the SVG format can be scaled with only limited loss.An option has been added to export graphs in the SVG format. In addition, the path to the SVG file is copied to the clipboard to facilitate the insertion in an external document such as a text report or a presentation.
Zoom the scale of this web page to compare the behaviour of PNG and SVG formats.
