# Vector Export

Description

These are functions used by renderers and draft plotters to draw image vector data for export to a file. These functions form a link between vector and polygon renderers and vector exporters. In formZ vector images are created by rendering vector data almost directly to the file. Renderers should call these functions from within their implementation of . The vector data should be created as if it was being drawn to the screen, except these functions are called instead of screen drawing calls.
The types of vector data that can be are: text, points, arcs, lines and line sets. Line sets are essentially polylines.
Text can be exported in one of three ways depending on the capabilities of the exporter and the file format:
1. Text as paths - Text is exported as polylines.
2. Text as individual characters - Text is exported one character at a time.
3. Lines of text - Text is exported as strings. Each string must not contain any new line characters and must be one font, style, size, etc.
