Hi there,
I am looking for a way of exporting the coordinates of the shapes I draw in MadMapper - be it squares or polygons. I thought perhaps I could just open the .mad file in a text editor and though I can see some text it's not clear to me if it's saved in some commonplace file format. I am prepared to do some work understanding and cleaning up the data so could you tell me the file format of the .mad file. Perhaps there is a viewer or utility of some sort I can find to view the file correctly.

The reason for my request is that I would like to be able to programmatically recreate a quite complex structure of input shapes instead of having to redraw them manually from an exported MadMapper picture.

You can export an SVG file which has all the coordinates in XML format.

Aha, nice. I Didn't know that about SVG. Thank you
