I don't think there is one true graphics format unfortunately. What I
would suggest is that you have your src block export the dot graphic to
a specific format based on the export target. For instance, if
exporting to LaTeX/PDF, use PDF; if exporting to HTML, use SVG. You can
specify the actual destination using elisp code in the src block header.

The web site (http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/) says that there is an EPS
plugin...

Thanks, Eric.
I've decided to bite the bullet and install InkScape. However, I'm
having a hard time figuring out how to integrate this with org-mode. Org
generates the \includegraphics commands, so I assume it understands the
svg package, which in turn understands inkscape, but I don't know how to
connect them. There are bits and pieces around the Web, but I haven't
found a coherent explanation of how to set this up. Anyone know of one?
Thanks!

I export from Inkscape to pdf and include the pdf file. Would that work
for you?
HTH...

Hi, Eduardo,
I'm creating the SVGs right in org-mode, using GraphViz dot, like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC dot :file mygraph.svg :cmdline -Kdot -Tsvg
...
#+END_SRC
org-mode then passes this through Inkscape with the command:
inkscape -z -C -f./mygraph.svg -A./mygraph.pdf --export-latex
This appears to be working, as I'm getting a .pdf_tex in the same
directory as my org file. However, LaTeX's \includesvg{} seems unable to
find the .pdf_tex file.
Interestingly, I managed to get the document to output to PDF by
manually running the inkscape command on each of the svg files. org-mode
seems to be trying to do this, but for some reason it's not working.
Now, however, my text doesn't fit in the boxes. I wonder if there's a
way to make it all \footnotesize in the .pdf_tex files.
Thanks,
-pd

I'm outside that league, I'm sorry that I can't help... can you
"intercept" somehow the middle results to help to diagnose the causes?

Thanks, Eduardo. Perhaps I can get more feedback, but I don't have time
to investigate further right now. If I find anything further, I'll post
here.
Thank you.

I have a document with a number of embedded dot graphics (and one
ditaa). I'm trying to output these in some vector format, so they will
work across a wide range of devices. However I can't seem to find the
one true graphics format.
png - too low-resolution
pdf - produces links on HTML output
svg - doesn't work with LaTeX (except with svg package, but I don't want
to depend on InkScape)
Are there other options? Suggestions? Can ditaa even do anything other
than png?
Thanks!
