Exporting an Excel plot as SVG or PNG

excel, svg

Solution

I think you have set yourself a very difficult task.

If you copy a plot area to the clipboard and look at the formats available with `Application.ClipboardFormats`, the only vector format offered is PICT. Perhaps this could be an avenue to investigate...

Problem

After I have created a plot in Excel , is there a way to export the plot to SVG while retaining the explicit characters and vector strokes. (I do not want to have to capture the screen and export). UPDATE: I do not want to export in some complex and potentially lossy format such as PDF or Word. The graphics strokes are there in PDF, I just want to get them out. Also I don't want to dump as CSV and replot using some other tool.
