IDA Graph Exporter

What?

Plugin for IDA Pro that allows to export a function as rendered in the graph view to a vectorized SVG. The native plugin retrieves all relevant information from the currently focused graph view and stores them into a JSON. The JSON is then to be processed json2svg.py to produce an SVG. Compiled versions of the plugin for IDA Versions 7.0 to 8.2 can be found on the Release page.

The native code ships (amalgamated) copies of miniz 3.0.2 and jsoncpp 1.9.5 for compression and JSON serialization. The python script converting JSON to SVG needs svgwrite installed.

How?

1. Compile the source in this repository (you need the Hex-Rays SDK to do that) or download a precompiled plugin matching (closely) your IDA Pro version from the Release page.
2. Copy both IdaGraph.dll and IdaGraph64.dll into the plugins directory of your local IDA Pro installation and reload IDA.
3. Open the control flow graph that is to be exported in a graph viewer tab and export it to JSON via Edit -> Plugins -> Graph Exporter.
4. Convert the JSON to SVG using json2svg.py <output.json>. The output file name is the same as the input plus an .svg suffix.
5. Optional: To convert the SVG to PDF, I use rsvg-convert -f pdf -o <output.pdf> <input.svg>
