Graphics - .PCX And .TIFF Files Viewing Diffe |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer created a .PCX graphics file. The customer has found that the graphic will view poorly if it is the only graphic image in the document. Simply including a .TIFF file of an earlier version (such as 3.0) will cause the .PCX file to view considerably better. The .TIFF file always looks good in View Document. Under any circumstance, the files print fine. Also, the customer uses .TIFF files that are in the version 5.0 format. If the customer tries to retrieve this type of graphics file into a graphics box, the error "Invalid Version" is displayed. Solutions: WP does not support .TIFF version 5.0 files. Currently, WP supports .TIFF files from version 4.0 (April 31, 1987 date.) The customer has also related that when in View Document, the .PCX file viewed with one color palette. If a .TIFF image is added below the .PCX image on the same page, the colors change on the .PCX image in View Document. The reason this happens is the .PCX file uses a custom color palette. For example, the numbers from 0 to 16 each represent a color. This is rasterized into the hardware (video card) in order to display in View Document. If another image is added later on the page with a different color palette, the index is changed and different colors are displayed for the whole page. |
