5.7.4.3 Naming external graphic metafiles

Mif2Go generates external metafiles for WinHelp; see §31.2.6 Embedding bitmap graphics in WMF for WinHelp for more information.

[Graphics]

; MetaNameChars = chars from base file name

; to use in external WMF file names

MetaNameChars = 5

; MetaNumDigits = number of digits

; to use in external WMF file names

MetaNumDigits = 3

Each appearance of a graphic produces a new file, even if the same graphic has appeared before; and for WinHelp each subscript, superscript, and symbol also produces a metafile. To decide how many characters and digits to specify, consider all of the following:
