Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 3 Converting a book or document > 3.7 Choosing final conversion options > 3.7.4 Figuring out graphics export options > 3.7.4.5 Producing only graphics
After you have successfully converted your document,
to experiment with different graphics DPI or format settings without
actually producing document files, check Write only graphics, no text
in the Mif2Go Export dialog.
When you check this option, Mif2Go uses the .grx
files from the previous conversion
run to get a list of graphics to produce. You must have already run the
conversion at least once to produce the .grx
files, because this option works only when .grx
files are present in the project directory. See §C.2.2 Files created during conversion.
If you really want to output only graphics, without
first producing .grx
files, you could set [Setup]GraphicsFirst=Yes
in the configuration
file; then instead of referring to .grx
files,
Mif2Go would crank out every graphic in your document,
including unused reference-page and master-page items (but not any
graphics in hidden conditional text). See §5.7.3.1 Processing all graphics first.
This process is really useful only for RTF output;
for HTML and XML, setting [Setup]GraphicsFirst=Yes
is usually a waste of
time and space. And if you decide to change graphics formats, you must
run the entire conversion again (possibly with Do
not write graphics files checked) to get the <img>
src
attributes right.
