31.2.5.5 Specifying graphic output format and DPI

You can set the output DPI and graphic format for the FrameMaker export filters to use. FrameMaker DPI for a bitmap graphic is not the native DPI of the image; instead it is a measure of rescaling to whatever size you want the image to appear in your FrameMaker document. Generally you want to retain that scaling.

[Setup]

; EquationExportDPI = number

; (from 50 to 1200, default 140 or HTML, 120 for RTF)

EquationExportDPI=140

; GraphicExportDPI = number (from 50 to 1200, default 96)

GraphicExportDPI=96

; GraphicExportFormat = BMP, TIFF, WMF (RTF default),

; JPEG (HTML default), GIF, PNG, EPS, PICT, CGM, or IGES

GraphicExportFormat=JPEG

If print quality is important, and you have scaled down a screenshot (for example) for on-line help, leave all the original pixels in; the view on screen will be the same, and the printout will be more legible because the printer has more pixels available for the image.

For HTML output, changing the GraphicExportDPI setting affects a displayed HTML page only if browser scaling is turned off for the images involved.
