Plotter (HPGL) File Imports With White Lines |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer is importing HPGL files saved from Harvard Graphics into WordPerfect. When the customer sizes the file, the document has white lines through the bars when it prints. Solutions: This problem can occur with any plotter (PLT or HPGL) file, not just those from Harvard Graphics. When the HPGL file is created, the fill pattern on the bars is done by drawing a line back and forth through the bar until it is filled. There is not a fill pattern in the bar, but only small lines placed closely together. When WP tries to scale the image, WP has to round off the information in the file, and that causes the spacing between the lines to display incorrectly. The customer will need to export the graphic in another format that WP supports, i.e., CGM, WPG, PCX, etc. Another workaround would be to retrieve the file into Presentations or DrawPerfect and either delete the lines or cover them with a polygon with a solid fill. This will then import and print correctly from WP. |
