23.5.3 Converting only the visible portion of a graphic

If your FrameMaker document includes referenced graphics that do not require conversion, you would most likely specify UseOriginalGraphicNames=Yes (see §23.4.1 Using referenced graphics without converting). However, suppose that for some of these graphics, the anchored frame purposely shows only a portion of the image. To use only the portion of an image visible in FrameMaker, such a graphic must be converted. You have two choices:

• Add an empty Text Line to each graphic in FrameMaker. This element would be invisible in FrameMaker and in all outputs, but would force Mif2Go to use FrameMaker export filters to convert the graphic.

• Include configuration macros to surround each graphic with macros that turn off UseOriginalGraphicNames and then turn it back on again.

To use configuration macros, assign configuration variables to the Mif2Go graphic ID (see §5.3.1 Understanding how Mif2Go creates identifiers) for each graphic:

[GraphStartMacros]

graphicframeID = <$$[Graphics]UseOriginalGraphicNames=0>

[GraphEndMacros]

graphicframeID = <$$[Graphics]UseOriginalGraphicNames=1>

These settings would cause Mif2Go to use FrameMaker export filters to convert just the portion of graphicframeID that shows within its anchored frame.
