SVG / EPS Export


#1

Hey guys, sorry noob question here:

Is there any way i could export my oscilloscope graphics to a vector file format (for example: SVG, EPS) ?

OsciStudio Version: A7
Operating System: Windows


#2

hey!

it’s not yet built-in, but i really feel i need to add this!

there is a way to get a high quality png, would that help?


#3

that would be amazing man ! please let me know if u implement it would even pay for it :pray::pray:


#4

How do you get a high quality png?!

I just used this on a TV commercial and had to screen record to get the image :rofl:


#6

therr u goo credits to @kritzikratzi :pray::pray:


#7

But this is different software?


#8

yea. oscistudio is to generate and preview waveforms (commercial), https://oscilloscopemusic.com/software/oscistudio/

oscilloscope is to render waveforms (free). https://oscilloscopemusic.com/software/oscilloscope/

i’ll try to add the highres rendering part to oscistudio too! there’s a historic reason why it’s two separate programs


#9

I’m not really sure how to even export the wav from OsciStudio. I’m using the mic input to route audio from another software.


#10

there’s a record button in the top right (the red circle). click it once to start recording, then click again to stop recording.

to start recording you can also shift+click, then a filename will be automatically selected for you.


#11

one guy on reddit meant that it is almost impossible to get a vector format out of oscilloscopes…is that true?


#12

yes. for analog oscilloscopes that’s true: in goes a signal, out goes … well, there’s a screen and you can film it. and that’s always pixels, never vectors.

what are you trying to achieve?


#13

i have an embroidery machine and would love to print some oscilloscope designs with it. but the thing is that i would need vector lines for that…:slight_smile: i tried to convert the svgs to vector with several different programs but no good results so far…


#14

hm… i mean, svgs are already vector. what file formats does your embroidery machine accept?


#15

sorry my mistake i meant i tried to convert the .pngs to vector with no good results. it accepts like .svg .eps .pdf etc. :slight_smile:


#16

do u think this is possible with touch designer?


#17

idk about touchdesigner. i barely know the software, it’s huge.

i think adding an svg export to oscistudio is a good idea, but it’s not a priority for me and it’ll be a while until the next oscistudio release.


#18

little update: by accident i added a small svg export. will be in the next oscistudio release!
