Graphics Formats - What Imports From Quattro |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer wants to know what formats will import into WordPerfect from Quattro Pro 2.0. He also wants to know which formats work the best. Solutions: WordPerfect can import the following formats from Quattro Pro 2.0: EPS, HPGL, PIC, and PCX. Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files will give the best results because they are almost identical to the output from Quattro. The customer should use the EPS file output, not the EPS slide file. EPS is the only format that will bring in the "3-D" effect from Quattro (e.g., used in bar charts). HPGL is the second best quality. The customer needs to set up the HP 7475 plotter as the printer with the paper size set to "Auto", then perform a Print To Disk. In most cases, the HPGL image will need to be rotated once it is brought into WP. To set your printer as an HP Plotter in Quattro Pro, use the /Options|Hardware|Printers|1st Printer (or 2nd Printer, depending on the current Default Printer shown on this same screen) |Type of Printer|HP Plotters|7475. Select Auto for the mode. Then, quit these menus and print the graph to a binary file using the following steps: 1. Set /Print|GraphPrint|Destination to File. 2. Look at /Print|GraphPrint|Layout to change any options if necessary. 3. Press /Print|GraphPrint|Go to write the file. When printing, be sure to set /Print|GraphPrint|Layout|Orientation to Landscape if you want a portrait graph in WordPerfect. The orientation switches for plotter files. When creating binary files, specify a unique file name for each graph being printed. As with other graphics formats, only one graph will be stored per file. See Chapter 4 of the Quattro Pro User's Guide for complete information about printing binary files. PIC files give quality close to the HPGL but will need to be inverted once they are brought into WP. If the file is not inverted, graph lines on the x and y axis may not display. The PCX files usually have very poor resolution because the quality is limited to what the customer's screen can display. Occasionally, some elements of your graphs may appear to be missing. This is often caused by a combination of colors which match the page background in WordPerfect. For example, Bright White may not show if WordPerfect interprets that color the same as the white page the graph is printing on. By default, the grid in Quattro Pro is set to Bright White. You can change this in Quattro Pro by using /Graph|Overall|Grid|Grid Color. If an element is missing because it is the same color as the background, try using Invert (4) from the Graphics Edit menu. This reverses the image. Transparent images will then show, indicating that their color prevents them from being seen in WordPerfect. The graphic can be left inverted in WordPerfect, or you may wish to return to Quattro Pro and select a new color which shows properly. |
