You can export your diagram to an image file and then use its graphical representation in external applications. For example, insert a diagram image into your program documentation (e.g. use MS Word), create big posters with your diagram, publish them to Web.
Database Designer for PostgreSQL supports the following image types:
§Vector graphics: Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF).
§Bitmap images: PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP.
To export model to image, follow these steps:
1. Select File | Export to call the Export Model tool.
