Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
If you provide separately created thumbnails, use the following option, which is the default:
; ExtrGraphThumbnail = Named (default,
; use original name plus ExtrGraphSuffix)
When ExtrGraphThumbnail=Named
,
you provide a thumbnail version of the first image in each extract. You
must create the thumbnails yourself, using a third-party graphics tool,
and store them in the same directory with the output graphics. Each thumbnail
must have the same file name as the corresponding output graphic, but
with a suffix added to the base name. You specify the suffix as follows:
; ExtrGraphSuffix = suffix for file name of first graphic in an
; extract, used in the predefined <$$_extrgraph> macro to identify
Name thumbnail after output graphic
Except for the suffix, each thumbnail must have the same name as the corresponding output graphic.This means that if your project involves having Mif2Go produce graphics with generated names, you must make each thumbnail name match the Mif2Go-generated name (not the original name).
Place thumbnail in project directory
Each thumbnail you create must be placed in the same directory with the corresponding output graphic; this might be different from the directory where your original graphics are located.
For example, suppose your document references the following graphic:
And suppose Mif2Go generates from jaguar.bmp
the following output graphic:
You must provide the following thumbnail for
jaguar.jpg
:
D:\MyDoc\HTMout\aa0f3de8tn.jpg
If Mif2Go does not find a properly named thumbnail for
the first graphic in an extract, you get either a broken link or just
the alt
text in the replacement code.
If there is no graphic in the extract, the value
of <$$_extrgraph>
for that extract is
NULL
, and the literal name extrgraph
appears in the replacement code wherever you specified <$$_extrgraph>
.
