There are three more exports filters for Dia available.
Two of them may be of interest for the whole Dia
community. In detail:
plug-ins/hpgl/hpgl.c - Hewlett Packard Graphics Language
Exports at least simple geometric commands to the
common plotter language.
plug-ins/wpg/wpg_defs.h - WPG Definitions
plug-ins/wpg/wpg.c - WordPerfect Graphics Metafile Export.
This export filter generates WPG 1.0 (as used since
WordPerfect 5.1). It is tested with WinWord 97 and
Designer 4.1; but I'm expecting it to work with
WordPerfect for Linux as well.
Every renderer function is implemented, only the bezier
functions produce some strange graphical effects, because
WPG's Poly Curve appears not to be compatible with Dia's
Bezier - or I haven't understood it yet.
plug-ins/wmf/wmf.cpp - Win32 only Windows Metafile Export
Everything except Bitmaps seems to work. Due to namespace
conflicts between Dia and <windows.h> (Rectangle) I've
choosen to implement it in c++ (Win32 in namespace W32).
plug-ins/renderer.inc - Dia's renderer interface used by all
the above export filters.
Started implementation of renderer helper functions to produce
complex (=unsupported) geometrics (like ellipse) by simple (=supported)
drawing functions (like arc).
It would be nice if someone could compile and test the first two
filters on Linux.
Due to it's size (20K) the archive is not attached, but available at:

Have Fun,
