Export as SVG or other Graphics

What is the expected output?
It would be nice to have the possibility to export the created design as SVG (or in other graphic formats). SVG could be further processed by GIMP or Inkscape to include it into documentations. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? wwwsqldesigner-2.5 on Debian Squeeze

PS: Keep up that good work!

Very similar to issue #70 . Exporting as SVG, PDF or anything else basically means duplicating the whole codebase in order to render in non-HTML format. I have no time nor courage to do such major refactoring; instead, I strongly suggest using PhantomJS ( http://www.phantomjs.org/).. .

I would be happy with an export to something printable to a large format printer. How about a PDF output via one of the many HTML to PDF php libraries?

The PDF writer would have to understand the full CSS styling and SVG connector code as well. Rendering using PhantomJS (one can easily do this already by feeding it with a permalink to a saved design) is more straightforward.

This is a duplicate of #132.
Still, if there was a button to hide the UI (and the background grid), we could use the browser built-in tool to take a full-page screenshot.

The main toolbar can be closed by the triangle button located at the very top of it. The minimap and grid remains, though.
