Harvard Graphics 3.0 and WordPerfect 5.1 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: What can a user do to export files from Harvard Graphics 3.0 so they will import into WP correctly? Solutions: Harvard Graphics 3.0 has been changed drastically from earlier versions. In order to export charts, the customer should do the following: 1. Select the MONOCHRW palette under Options [F8], Appearances [3] (the 16COL and HG3 palettes also work well). 2. Select Colors for the Fill style (this is different from earlier versions). 3. Change some of the fill colors if necessary. a. This is done in the Options menu under either Appearance or Series. b. This needs to be done if parts of the graphics are printing solid black. 4. Export a CGM file with the following settings: a. Select FILE from the menu. b. Select EXPORT, then choose CGM from the selections for exporting. Output quality = High Reverse Black & White = Yes or No (If you have to invert the file in WordPerfect, try changing this in Harvard.) Black Text = Yes or No (Setting this to Yes will make all text and thin lines solid black.) Draw Background color = No CGM Fonts = No (If you are going to import the file into DrawPerfect, you may want to set this to Yes so that you can change the font in Draw). 5. Take the CGM file through GRAPHCNV with a /G=16 option for the monochrome palettes and a /C=16 for the color palettes. (If you have a PostScript printer, you do not need to take the file through GRAPHCNV.) Note: Graphics from Harvard should always be printed with Graphics Quality = High. Users may have to play with changing the colors in Harvard until they get the desired color when printed out. If an individual is encountering problem after following the steps as outlined, have them check to make sure they have the updated CGM export filter (Version 3.01 or later!) for Harvard Graphics. If they do not, they will need to obtain that from Harvard Graphics. If they do have it and continue to experience problems, please have the customer send in the file and write an STR. With regard to WPWin and Harvard Graphics 3.0, some users may find that graphics images that come in just fine on the 11/04/91 release of WPWin will come in completely black on the 04/30/92 release. This is a known problem and the only workarounds are to go back to the previous release of WPWin or take the file into DrawPerfect to be modified. In DrawPerfect, change the fill color to something other than white and the background color to white. In the initial release of Harvard Graphics, the hatching patterns do not convert correctly when importing into WordPerfect. The CGM export driver (Version 3.0) did not export patterns correctly. If a customer wants to use fill patterns rather than fill colors, they will need to contact Software Publishing Corp. and obtain version 3.01 of the CGM export driver for Harvard Graphics. This version of the CGM driver exports the fill patterns correctly. One customer who exported CGM graphics from Harvard Graphics to WP 5.0 got shades and patterns in the graphics. The same files exported to WP 5.1 have clear bars in the bar chart. This problem is related to the background color change in WP 5.1. To show the shades, the customer needs to press Invert (4) from the Graphics Edit screen. |
