Exporting

MatrixPro can export visualizations in one of the following formats:

LATEX
Export the current view in LATEX format. The Complete document checkbox selects whether or not to export a complete LATEX document or just a document fragment. Exporting in LATEX creates a TeXdraw representation of the current view. TeXdraw can be found at http://ctan.org.
SVG
Export the animation in SVG format. Exported SVG animations can be viewed with the Adobe SVG Viewer browser plug-in that can be obtained from http://www.adobe.com/svg. The SVG can be configured (Fig. 6). It can be compressed with gzip that is supported by Adobe's SVG plug-in, an animator panel can be included (Fig. 7), and the animation can be scaled. If the animator panel is not added to the animation two more options are available: the length of the pause between steps (in seconds), and the length of one step of animation (in seconds).

PNG
Export the current view or the animation in PNG format. You can select whether to export the current view (default) or the entire animation as a series of pictures. If the picture series is selected, the files will be named <name><step>.png.
For more information about exporting TeXdraw pictures and SVG animations, see the tutorial at http://www.cs.hut.fi/Research/MatrixPro/tutorials/export_tutorial.shtml.
