Files can be imported in <b>.xyz</b> and <b>.xml</b> native format, 
selected automatically by the file extension. Files can be exported 
in <b>.ps</b>, <b>.ppm</b>, <b>.jp[e]g</b>, <b>.png</b>, <b>.tif[f]</b>,
<b>.x3d</b> and native <b>.xml</b> formats, selected automatically by 
the file extension. Formats <b>.jp[e]g</b>, <b>.png</b> and <b>.tif[f]</b>
require <b>pnmtojpeg</b>, <b>pnmtopng</b>, <b>pnmtotiff</b>, widely 
available and usually installed by default in most systems.

<p/>

Files can be exported using <b>File->Export</b>. Only the object and 
config data regarding the currently selected object is actually exported!
To  select  an object, choose <b>Object->Select</b> and press over the object.
Or choose the object class on the menu above, with the  middle  button, before 
pressing on the object. Or press twice <b>Layer</b>, <b>Window</b> or <b>Gamgi</b>
on the menu above. When the object has no visual representation, press the
mouse over the graphic area, to pop up a menu. The statusbar shows the 
selected object (left) and layer (right).

<p/>

Files can be imported using <b>File->Import</b> or adding 
filenames to the command line, when starting Gamgi:

<pre><b>
gamgi file_1.xml ... file_n.xml
</b></pre>

where file_n.xml is a fullname such as:

<pre><b>
../dat/molecule/flavors/garlic.xml
~/gamgi/dat/molecule/flavors/garlic.xml
http://www.gamgi.org/dat/molecule/flavors/garlic.xml
ftp://ftp.gamgi.org/gamgi/dat/molecule/flavors/garlic.xml
</b></pre>

<p/>

Object  and  config data can be mixed, so file_1.xml might be a preferences 
file, loaded before the other object files. To automate the  procedure, just 
add a line as this to .bashrc:

<pre><b>
alias gamgi=&apos;gamgi ~/gamgi/my_defaults.xml&apos;
</b></pre>

<p/>
