Easy conversion of Visio diagrams into eps
I’ve been using Visio to create diagrams. It supports a particular format that I like called Herring Bone diagrams. The problem is converting Visio diagrams into eps for inclusion in latex. Visio used to have eps export but it got broken a while back and has been removed subsequently. I’ve read some reasonably complex workarounds but found this one that seems to work for me:
- Export as a Windows Meta File (WMF).
- Use ImageMagick to convert from WMF to EPS.
- Include the file or convert to PDF if using pdflatex.
That’s it. Seems to work, which is a big suprise!
