Export

The File->Export... menu allows you to export your image as:

- A LaTeX2e file containing a `pgfpicture` environment (limitations apply, see below).

- A single-paged LaTeX document containing the image. (Note that you may need to add addition packages or command definitions if you use commands in your text area that aren't part of the basic LaTeX distribution. Again, the limitations below apply.)

- A PNG file. (All colours are converted to RGB.)

- An encapsulated postscript (EPS) file. (Transparency is not implemented.)

- An
  file. (CMYK colours are converted to RGB.)

- A LaTeX2e package based on the `flowfram` package. The `pgf` package is also used to create borders and backgrounds, so the limitations that apply to exporting to a `pgfpicture` environment also apply (see below).

Note that Jpgfdraw can't load the files that it can export, so it is recommended that you first save the picture as a
file before exporting it, in case you wish to edit it later.

To save your picture as a `pgfpicture` environment, select the pgf environment (*.tex, *.ltx) file filter. You can include the image into your LaTeX document using `\input`, but remember to specify the `pgf` package using:
`\usepackage{pgf}`
Alternatively, you can save the image (including paper dimensions) to a single-paged LaTeX document using the LaTeX document (*.tex, *.ltx) file filter.

Jpgfdraw was tested with version 1.10 of the `pgf` package. Files created by Jpgfdraw may not work with earlier versions of the `pgf` package. Note that some DVI viewers may not understand PGF specials. It is strongly recommended that you read the PGF user manual.

Limitations: Gradient paint is not available for text areas and outlines--only the start colour will be used. The gradient shading for fill colours has limited functionality and the gradient paint transparency settings are ignored when exporting to a `pgfpicture` environment.
only have limited support.

If you have used Jpgfdraw to create frames for use with the `flowfram` package, you can export the information to a LaTeX package. To do this, select the flowframe (*.sty) file filter, but note that only the
that have been identified as static, flow or dynamic frames will be saved. You must set the typeblock before you can export the flowframe information.
