File Export
Currently GAMGI can export in the following formats: 1) native XML (extension .xml); 2) xyz (extension .xyz); 3) rasterized color postscript (extension .ps). To select the format to export just give the proper extension to the filename. When the filename has no extension, GAMGI exports to its native XML format.

In XML format, the exported data is always the selected object. For example, to export the current layer, the current window or the current program (everything), just press twice the label Layer, Window or Gamgi respectively, in the top menu, with the mouse middle button.

GAMGI XML format is a vectorial format, so all information is preserved in the file, including non-default configuration data. Configuration data is always written in the beginning of the file, so it is already loaded when the object data is imported (a necessary step to guarantee that after importing the file the initial state is fully restored again).

In rasterized postscript format, the whole graphic area of the current window is exported. In xyz format, only the atoms contained in the selected object are exported, so the whole data structure is lost.
