Graphics files can be saved to disk in two ways by SVAR. It can be done automatically (by selecting the first option below) or from the File menu in the graphs. There's a difference in how this is accomplished in the MatLab version of the program and in the stand-alone version. The former uses MatLab's saveas function, while the latter uses the own saveas_fcn function. In stand-alone mode SVAR can create MatLab's own fig files as well as eps, ps, ai, hgl, and bmp files (at least under Windows) automatically. Additional formats are also supported when saving graphs automatically, but they require the existence of external applications: ghostscript and pstoedit. Ghostscript is needed for png graphs and various portable bitmap formats, while pstoedit is required for emf graphs. In the MatLab version of SVAR all these formats are supported.
The software supports all graphics formats listed in the "Default graphics format" box; see Graphics for details. You can always let SVAR save graphics automatically into any one of these formats provided you have the viewer associated with the format type (see Viewers). The MatLab code release lets you save graphics manually into all formats supported by MatLab.
The stand-alone release, however, supports different formats, using external applications (see Utilities), when you save graphics manually. In the stand-alone release you can, by construction, save graphics into fig, eps, ai, ps, bmp, and hgl. If you've specified where ghostscript is located, then you can also save graphics into png, jpg, tif, pcx, pbm, pgm, ppm, and pdf. In addition, when you have specified where pstoedit is located, then SVAR also lets you save graphics into emf, wmf, and tex formats.
