Would you like to export any charts to these file formats?

    We looked after SVG a while ago and couldn't find any
    GPL/LGPL libraries that implemented SVG.
    If you know of any that does, please let us know and we can
    try to figure out a way of incorporating it.
    (Please keep in mind that we are trying to keep the
    application size small - that means no 10MB libraries) :)

    Thanks for searching!

    As for your suggestions:
    Options 2, 3 and 4 are native libraries. They only work on a
    limited set of platforms. We aim that Jarp remains "pure"
    Java (that means no .DLL or .SO dependency).

    Option 1 is Java, but the library is about 2.7 MB (correct
    me if I am wrong). This would triple the current size of
    Jarp. I think that the feature gain is not worth the size
    increase.

    Again, if I am mistaken, please correct me. I really would
    like to support as many file formats as possible.

    Would you like to ask the Batik developers if their library can
    be made smaller?
