Graphics quality - Mif2Go

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Mathieu

I just use the graphics "as is", so I don't convert them.

>From the MIF2Go Help:

22.4.1 Using referenced graphics without converting
***22.4.1 ****Using referenced graphics without converting*

If some referenced graphics are already in a format appropriate for Web use,
such as JPEG, GIF, or PNG (see §29.1.4 *Graphics formats for
HTML*<z129x1162767.htm#Rz129x19891>);
and if they are alone in their anchored frames (no callouts or in-frametitles,
for example); you do not have to convert them. Either check *Use original
graphic names* in the *Mif2Go* *Export* dialog, or set the following option
in the configuration file:

[Graphics]

UseOriginalGraphicNames=Yes

For details, see §29.3.1.4 *Using original files and image sizes
forreferenced graphics
* <z129x1194622.htm#Rz129x42868>.

The naming is preserved like any other in the <img src=.../> tags. Unless
you explicitly remap a name in the [GraphFiles] section (see §22.4.2
*Specifying
formats of replacement graphics* <z122x1249169.htm#Rz122x32239>), or specify
a GraphSuffix in the [Graphics] section, the graphic name is always passed
through unchanged.

If the original graphics are not in the same folder as the FrameMaker files,
set the following option also (see §22.3 *Locating graphics files for
HTML*<z122x1326720.htm#Rz122x81089>
):

[Graphics]

StripGraphPath=Yes

If you have supplied replacements for referenced graphics that are in a
different format, and if the replacements have the same base names as the
originals, you can specify just the new file extension (see §29.3.1.2
*Substituting
graphics files for HTML* <z129x1112424.htm#Rz129x40236>):

[Graphics]

GraphSuffix=jpg

Use this setting when you convert referenced graphics with a third-party
program; see §4.10.2.3 *Using third-party graphics
converters*<z104x1000863.htm#Rz104x80713>
.

A problem arises if you add any FrameMaker elements, such as arrows or
callouts,
to a referenced graphic. You can direct *Mif2Go* to use the FrameMaker
export filters to convert the whole graphic to JPEG or GIF; see
§4.10.2.2 *Using
FrameMaker graphic export filters* <z104x1085973.htm#Rz104x19843>. Or you
can reproduce the elements in the external graphic with a third-party
program.

Cheers
