31.2.2.3.4 Replacing EPS graphics

For many kinds of output you will want to convert EPS graphics to another format. For example, for WinHelp the graphics must be in WMF or BMP format; for HTML, graphics should be JPEG, GIF, or PNG. For Word, you will have to convert EPS graphics if you want to be able to scale the images.

If the EPS graphics are embedded in your FrameMaker document, the default settings in section [GraphExport] make external .eps files from them; see §31.2.3 Exporting and converting embedded graphics.

You must do the following:

1. Convert the .eps files to an appropriate format, using a third-party tool; see §31.2.2.3.1 Deciding how to treat EPS graphics.

2. Map the graphics to the new format.

[Graphics]

FileNames=Map

[GraphFiles]

eps=wmf

[Graphics]

GraphSuffix = jpg

3. Specify the location of the replacement files.

[Graphics]

FilePaths = Retain

See §31.3.2 Changing graphics files for RTF output.

[Graphics]

StripGraphPath = Yes

Or, you can tell Mif2Go exactly where you put the new graphics:

[Graphics]

GraphPath = relative/path/to/graphics/files

The path you specify for GraphPath should be relative to the wrap directory (see §35.3 Understanding path values for deliverables). This path will be used in HTML output, as the relative path from the HTML files to their referenced graphics. This option sets the src attribute of the <img> tags; it does not change the location of the graphics files themselves. See §23.3 Locating graphics files for HTML. To copy files to another location, see §35.7.1 Copying referenced graphics to a distribution directory.
