They are the same. I exported a graph in PICT format using -graph export-
and
also saved a graph as PICT and was able to open both PICT files in Adobe
Illustrator and select the different elements (lines, circles, text,
rectangles, etc) and move them around.
As far as being ungroupable, we have no control over that. We tell the Mac
we're drawing a PICT file, it records all the drawing commands, then we save
those commands to a file. It's up to the graphics application to figure out
how the different elements of the PICT file are grouped. In Illustrator, it
grouped drawing elements (circles, lines, rectangles) together, then text
together, then bitmaps together. I had to use the direct selection tool to
create new groups.
