Graphics Converting From Publisher's PictureP |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Marketing Graphics, Inc. (MGI) is available to answer questions regarding Publisher's PicturePak with WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1. Publisher's PicturePak is MGI's older clip art library, which used the .CGM graphics format. The filename extensions of some of the pictures were .WPG, even though the format was actually .CGM. MGI's current product is called PicturePak which offers several collections of clip art images. It was released in April of 1989. These images use a newer, cleaner version of the .CGM format, and a format called .PCC, which is comparable to .PCX. If users see a blank graphic when looking at one of MGI's clip art images in 5.1, they should try turning Invert Off in graphics edit or they could use GRAPHCNV/B=# (where # stands for a number between 0 and 7). This option for background color is mentioned in the 5.1 reference manual. If the user has a 5.0 GRAPHCNV.EXE, GRAPHCNV/C=B can be used to correct the problem. The problem is caused by WP 5.1's new ability to change the background color of an image. The 11/06/89 release uses intense white as the background color. Images will appear blank if the foreground color is intense white. Graphics that come into WP 5.0 are correct, but coming into WP 5.1, they are all blank. When importing graphics from PicturePak into WordPerfect, CGM (as opposed to PCX) is the preferred format. CGM is a vector image while PCX is a bitmap image. The bitmapped image will import correctly, but the vectored image is recommended. |
