Hello

Is it possible to save a TransformationGraph instance as an XML file?  
I looked at TransformationGraphXMLReaderWriter, but it does not seem to work.

Thanks

Franco

Hi Franco,

unfortunately the saving part of TransformationGraphXMLReaderWriter is not maintained, so no it’s not possible currently. If you know your graph is simple and doesn’t change that much you could write your own serialization code - format of the graph XML is not that complex.

Best regards,
