Export to SVG & PDF

SXM Viewer supports vector export for cleaner editing and print-oriented workflows.


When to use vector export

Choose SVG or PDF when you want:

  • scalable figure output
  • post-editing in illustration tools
  • cleaner print or manuscript figures

PNG is still the simplest choice for quick sharing, but vector export is often better for final figure preparation.


Available routes

From image and plot workflows, right-click export menus expose explicit save/copy paths for vector output where supported.

The project history also notes explicit support for SVG and PDF export in the broader figure workflow.
