Harvard Graphics symbol graphic file

File type category:
Audio and sound file

Date updated: September 28, 2026

The SYW format belongs to the Harvard Graphics family of charting and presentation software. An SYW file stores a collection of graphical symbols that the program can make available when creating charts or other graphic documents.

The format appears to have been used mainly by earlier versions of Harvard Graphics and is not a commonly used modern format. Its contents are separate from the chart or presentation documents that use the symbols.

How to open syw file?

Open the file with Harvard Graphics ChartXL on Microsoft Windows. Use the program's symbol-library or equivalent file-opening command rather than opening the file as a regular image.

Modern general-purpose graphics programs are unlikely to recognize this format. If ChartXL is unavailable, the file may not be directly usable.

How to convert syw file?

Open the library in Harvard Graphics ChartXL and use the program's available symbol, copy, or export commands.

When those commands are available, individual symbols can be transferred into a supported chart or document and the resulting graphic can then be exported in a format supported by the program.
