Graphs can be specified in many different formats, and the plugins below allow to convert one format to another. Internally, they all use the ELK Graph as intermediate representation. The formats service is also used by GrAna to perform analyses on graph types other than the ELK Graph.

Within Eclipse, a format conversion can either be triggered through the context menu or through the export wizard as shown in the following screenshots.
