#91 Improved vector graphics export
The need for publication-quality graphics exports has been discussed in another ticket:
http://sourceforge.net/p/scidavis/scidavis-bugs/245/
But, I'd like to bring it up again, with a more specific request. From the experimenting that I have done so far, it seems that the best way to get high-quality, editable graphics is svg files. These can be opened in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator, and edited as vector objects. From there, it easy to export to other formats. The exported svg files are a bit quirky, but the quirks can be fixed easily in the vector editing program.
The one problem that I see, however, is the treatment of curves (such as generated by fitting), which are exported as short line segments that appear to reflect the resolution of the screen image. They can be improved somewhat by using more points in the curve, but they are still pretty jagged.
I think that the exports could be greatly improved if the curves were generated from the actual numerical data (or the mathematical function), rather than the screen representation.
I know that resources are limited for this project, and I appreciate all that has been done so far. But, I think that improving the output quality would make the program more widely useable.
Thanks,
David
