Graphics Lines Printing Thicker Than In 5.0 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Imported graphics (Lotus PIC files, and HPGL) are printing thicker lines with a PostScript printer definition compared with WP 5.0. Another customer converted an HPGL file with GRAPHCNV using the /W startup option. After doing this, the customer found that the image printed with "gaps" in the fill patterns. This was more noticeable as the image size increased. Solutions: Here is the answer from README.UTL: "As WordPerfect 5.1 converts HPGL plotter files, all measurements are scaled, including pen widths which are interpreted as the standard (.35mm) pen width before the conversion. WordPerfect 5.0 translated all pen widths as "hairline" with no width conversion. If you still want WordPerfect to translate pen widths as hairline, start the 5.1 Graphics Conversion Program with the /W startup option (e.g., GRAPHCNV/W)." WP no longer converts the lines to "hairline", which means they will not be scaled, or thickened, as the image size is increased, but tries to represent actual pen widths. If the customer has the 11/06/89 or 01/19/90 program date, update the customer's Program 1&2 disks. WPCorp has tested this problem, and the graphics files should print better with later releases. |
