Graphics With GEM DRAW |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The WordPerfect 5.1 documentation states that GEM DRAW should be supported. The customer cannot get any arrowheads to come into their document in WP and the shading is much darker than the GEM Draw printout. Another user wants to import a GEM DRAW file. If the customer doesn't convert it using GRAPHCNV, the image cannot be moved or scaled. When the customer tries to convert large files, GRAPHCNV locks the computer. Solutions: No export is required from GEM DRAW. The .GEM files are directly supported. The only nonsupported attributes of GEM DRAW are Rounded Rectangles and Line, End Styles. In the first release of WP 5.1 there were problems with the "move" feature. In order to fix this, customers should save the file from the graphics edit screen, and reimport the resulting .WPG file. This was fixed with the 03/30/90 release. Customers experiencing this problem should be sent the Program 1&2 and the Install/Learn/Utilities disks. WP does not support "End Line" styles that GEM uses. If the arrowhead is inserted on the line using something besides end line style, WP will convert it, or customers can use the GRAB feature to turn it to bitmap. Another option to get arrows to show in WP, is to draw them as a filled polygon instead of using the arrow polylines end style. The shading may be a bit dark on some fill patterns, but this is WP's closest fit to the patterns used by Digital Research. |
