Markers In A SigmaPlot .CGM Graph Import Into |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Markers in a .CGM graph created with SigmaPlot 5.0 import into WP solid black. If the graphic is exported from SigmaPlot as an .HPGL file, it imports into WP correctly. Solutions: The problem is caused by a combination of the way the file was created in SigmaPlot and the CGM export. The graphic imports the same way into other third-party graphics programs. The customer can try one of the following options to work around this problem: 1. In SigmaPlot, make sure that the markers for the graph are being created as polygons with no fill pattern and the color specified to white. If the markers are truly polygons, then the customer can run the file through the Graphics Conversion Utility (GRAPHCNV.EXE) using the /F=16 startup option to convert all the fill patterns to white. 2. According to SigmaPlot, it is suggested that when exporting in CGM format that under the Preferences menu option, users set Background equal to Black, Foreground equal to White, and Plot Color equal to zero. At this point, the image may appear inverted in SigmaPlot and WP, but it will print correctly. 3. If the user has DrawPerfect or WP Presentations, the graphic can be retrieved into one of those applications. Then, the customer should replace the markers that are incorrect with the appropriate style/fill polygons, and then resave the graphic. |
