exporting a graph. Example:<br />

aisee -silent -color -scale 75 -psoutput test.ps test.gdl<br />

This example converts the <strong>GDL</strong> file test.gdl into a PostScript file containing a color picture of the<br />

graph scaled by 75%. In this case interactive displaying of the graph is suppressed. If the graph<br />

does not fit on the page, the output shows only part of the graph.<br />

–bmpoutput <br />

A bitmap file named containing a color picture of the graph is written in BMP<br />

format. To export a black and white picture, use -nocolors.<br />

–gdloutput <br />

A <strong>GDL</strong> file named is written which contains the graph rendered in keeping<br />

with the layout calculation. All visible nodes of the graph are annotated by the calculated<br />

coordinates. Most information about folded subgraphs or regions is lost in the <strong>GDL</strong> file<br />

created. Interactive displaying of the graph is turned off.<br />

–htmloutput <br />

An HTML file named is written which contains a picture of the graph in PNG<br />

or BMP format mapped with the hyperlinks and/or JavaScript functionality specified in the<br />

<strong>GDL</strong> source of the graph. This option has no effect unless a file name was specified for the<br />

image by using -pngoutput or -bmpoutput. It should always be used in conjunction<br />

with -lm 0 px and -tm 0 px.<br />

–pbmoutput <br />

A bitmap file named containing a black and white picture of the graph is written<br />

in PBM format.<br />

–pngoutput <br />

A portable network graphics file named is written which contains a color picture<br />

of the graph. The compression factor is 6 : 1. It is advisable to use this option in combination<br />

with -lm 0 px and -tm 0 px.<br />

–ppmoutput <br />

A bitmap file named containing a color picture of the graph is written in PPM<br />

format.<br />

–psoutput <br />

A PostScript file named is written which contains the graph.<br />

–svgoutput <br />

A file named containing a black and white picture of the graph is written in<br />

scalable vector graphics (SVG) format. To export a color picture, use -color.<br />
