# Display Vector Graphics on UNIX and Linux

Export offers the option of rasterizing vector graphic content from source documents into a variety of graphics formats including JPEG, PNG, WMF, and CGM. This solution is implemented with Windows Graphical Device Interface (GDI) code, and therefore is not portable to other platforms.

The output format of vector graphics is defined by using the `setOutputVectorGraphicType()` method in the `XmlOptionInfo` class, and the options are defined as constants in the Export class.

To display vector graphics in presentation, word processing, and spreadsheet files on UNIX and Linux, Export can convert the files directly to JPEG by using a Java program named `kvraster.class`. This program uses the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT). Alternatively, rather than rasterizing, Export can output text from vector graphics in SVG foramt, which works the same as on Windows.

To convert the file

1. If rasterizing, add the location of the JRE to the `PATH` environment variable.

2. Use one of the following methods to set the graphic type to JPEG:

   - Use the `setOutputVectorGraphicType` method of the `OptionInfo` class to set the type to `Export.GRAPHIC_TYPE_JPEG` (for raster output) or `Export.GRAPHIC_TYPE_SVG` (for text-only vector output).

   - Set the `eOutputVectorGraphicType` parameter of the `defunix.ini` template file to `KVGFX_JPEG` (for raster output), or `KVGFX_SVG` (for text-only vector output).

3. Convert the document to XML. The graphics in the document are converted to JPEG or SVG and stored in the output directory.
