Menu "File".-
As can be seen in the image, the commands in the menu are self explanatory although some necessary highlights will be given.
The “Open” action will open a drawing previously done and saved in XML format, deleting everything else prior existing in the drawing screen.
The “Paste” action will do the same as the previous one, but will not delete anything.
The “Save” action will open a file navigator where a directory can be chosen and the drawing, with the name of of the file written without extension, will be saved with four extensions, representing: the java file, that can be reopen in Metagraf, with the extension *.xml; the metapost file as a text file with the extension *.mp; the same file already compiled as a *.1 file and a postscript file obtained trough “latex” and “dvips” with the extension *.ps.
The “Viewer” action will make visible or hide the special Metagraf's viewer if using Unix. If in Windows, it will launch the Ghostview application needed.
The “Exit” button will close the application and exit Metagraf.
