Graphic Conversion - How Does WP Size A Bitmap Image |

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
The dimensions depend on what values the bitmapped image gives to WP51 during conversion to a WPG graphic. Generally, when an image is skewed in the x or y axis it is because the prefix is giving WP wrong information to convert the file. For example, a TIFF image once had pixel dimensions that showed the x value being 1000 times larger than the y value. Normally, WP51 would return a "Divide Overflow" message, but since the 06/29/90 release, WP51 now makes a semi-intelligent guess about the dimensions. The image will probably come in, but it won't be the same dimensions as the original. To retain the best quality when printing, the graphics box size should be set to auto both. When sizing or scaling a bitmapped graphic image, resolution and quality will be lost if the image is not used in the original size. This is particularly true of scanned images. A good example of this is a bitmap graphic image that has been created very small (.25" x .25") and then is increased to be very large (4.0" x 4.0") in WP. Diagonal lines become jagged, like a "staircase" and the resolution and quality will be poor. |
