Do you plan on post processing that output? Otherwise, why not just print to PDF, which should be accessible to M13 in the printer list?

I have been printing to a pdf for years but it is not scalable like .svg and LaTeX. .pdf doesn't scale well when adding to other articles. When I was writing magazine articles, the editor really appreciated files in .svg and LaTeX because they can be resized and still look good whereas .pdf files get pixelated.

I am doing more and more in python because it can generate ,svg files for plots. I can also make LaTeX strings r"$text$"

Python would have been my other suggestion.

Nevertheless, there are other possible options
> https://www.win2pdf.com/purchase/purchase.htm supposedly can print to SVG directly
> PDF supposedly has a scalable graphics mode, but I'm not sure whether the more recent versions support that
> Postscript used to be the go-to driver for this sort of thing

@IRstuff
If the new Mathcad Prime will not generate what I want then I am gone. I have 35 years of Mathcad files to translate. I will not bother to translate all of them.

I already have python plot/graphing routines that are far superior to what Mathcad provides. I can now generate .svg, .png and .pdf files using the savefig function. Yes, that took some effort. The problem is that I must convert the rest of 35+ years worth of Mathcad to use these python plot/graph routines. Python has sympy which does symbolic processing similar to what Mathcad provides but it is a kludge. Where python shines compared to Mathcad is the ability to minimize functions or do system identification. Python does a MUCH BETTER job of finding the coefficient for ITAE than Mathcad's minerr function. Python is also faster at doing the calculations and soon there will be much faster versions of python.

However, you can still see my Mathcad work at my YouTube channel "Peter Ponders PID" There is a lot of good stuff that is still using Mathcad you might find interesting. My channel goes way beyond the basics.

Thanks Peter. I don't recall whether M13 had XML file format or not; certainly, M14 does. One would think it might be possible to write a processor for the XML to then use Python?
