TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If Twiki Draw offers a print function (preferably from the applet itself),
you could try printing 'to file' to any PostScript printer driver. That will
give you a PS file, and it might still be vector-based (instead of a raster
image like GIF). One route would then be to distill to PDF, open in Acrobat,
crop and export as EPS, and import that into Visio.
Another would be to batch convert the PS file(s) to WMF using our
(commercial) ps2vector software, and import that into Visio as a scalable
and editable diagram.
I don't think this print route will let you retain layers, but (if it works)
it surely beats GIF. And I also don't think that you'll find anything to
deal directly with Twiki's .draw format.
>From Visio, ps2vector can also get your diagrams into XML-standard SVG,
which might get them into the Java realm.
