Best export graphics for OpenOffice Draw

I've done some testing with the quality of export from Draw. I'm not absolutely wildly impressed with any but PNG and JPG seem to be best. Oddly, EPS gets bitmappier and so does GIF.

Note: The graphic was already shrunk once and reduced in quality; I'm just looking for comparisons between the four types and they all kinda seem to be the same.

Here's a file where you can look at the different files exported and inserted in Writer. I mainly looked at the edges of the thought bubbles.

HOWEVER.

Check out what PDF export looks like. Couple sizes, regular and with the graphic preshrunk in Draw.

The quality for those is fabulous. Extremely smooth lines on the thought bubble.

Unfortunately, you can't insert PDFs in a Writer doc.

But keep in mind that PDF export of lines is fabulous. If you have a Draw doc that you need printed as is, export to PDF if you need to send the file to others, don't export to the graphics formats.  Just be sure to export with no graphics reduction if graphics quality is your main goal. Lossless Compression is the option you want.

About the exportation to EPS format, it's important to know that what you see on the screen is not the same that will be printed. In screen you see a very low quality bimap preview. If you print the EPS in a postscript printer you will get a high quality graph, but if your printer does not undersand postscript you will print the low quality preview.
