Graphics styles

Graphics styles control how WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition converts the contents of anchored frames from the source FrameMaker document.

Graphics are converted using the WebWorks Rasterizer printer driver, which you install along with WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition. Publisher prints each graphic to a PostScript file and then converts from PostScript to the final output format. You will probably notice the FrameMaker print status window flashing on the screen as your project is generated.

Automapping graphics

A FrameMaker anchored frame can contain one or more of the following elements:

• Image(s) copied into the document
• Image(s) imported by reference
• Vector entities such as callouts and/or technical illustrations drawn using the standard FrameMaker drawing tools

The contents of an anchored frame determine the frame's default processing:

• If the anchored frame contains one imported-by-reference image and no callouts or other FrameMaker drawing entities, WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition automaps the image to the graphics style with a matching file extension configured as "Import by reference" on the Options subtab of the Graphics tab of the Style Designer dialog box. If no match is found, the graphic is automapped to the first style in the list.
• If the anchored frame contains no imported-by-reference images or if the frame contains FrameMaker drawing entities, multiple imported-by-reference images, or pasted images, the graphic will be automapped to the first graphic style listed in the Style Designer's Graphics tab.

Referenced graphics used more than once in a document are converted only once. Before conversion, WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition builds a complete list of all anchored frames and imported-by-reference images. WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition suppresses the generation of duplicate graphic file names for any imported-by-reference graphics. It also assigns unique file names to imported-by-reference images. They don't retain their original file names.

Manually mapping graphics

Here's how to change graphics mappings:

1. Display the Properties dialog box for the whole project or a specific file (see Viewing mappings for details).
2. Click the Output tab, then click the Graphics tab.

3. To change a mapping, click anywhere in the row containing the style, then select the graphics mapping you want to assign from the drop-down list near the bottom of the tab. Repeat for each graphic you want to remap.
