GeoPublish offers 5 methods for importing graphics. You can place graphics in Master Pages mode (seen on every page of your document), in Page Layout mode (in a region), in Editor mode, and in Page Graphics mode (in a region or free-flow). We will look at two of these this time. 888888888The first method is one you are most likely familiar 888888888with (see our Column Graphic on Page 15). Either in geoWrite, or from within the Editor Mode, just choose the Edit Menu, select Paste and then choose Picture (C= W ). The Photo Scrap on the disk will be inserted on the line where your cursor is or on the next line down if you are not on a new line. 888888888This is the least desirable method as you have no 888888888real control over the image. The Scrap is permanently centered and you can't enter any text beside it. You can't re-size the scrap and can only position it by changing the margins. 888888888t@Looking Trashy 888888888tLet's try this method. Just to show what a poor 888888888choice this method is we'll use the Waste Basket graphic (from Art Gallery 1) from the Work & Play Album on the 2 disk geoPublish. Extract the scrap from the album with Photo Manager and then copy the Scrap to your work disk. Enter Editor Mode and scroll down the first column until you reach this paragraph. Place your cursor on the second following line (there are two blank lines after this paragraph) and use the C= W shortcut to place the scrap. 888888888p 8A Now doesn't that look bad? And you really can't work with it at all. On to the next method. 888888888The second method for importing graphics is to 888888888create a region for the graphic in Page Layout Mode. We will again use this article as our example. Go to Page Layout Mod888888888Page Layout Mode on Page 20 and create a new region (4 1/4"C - 5 1/4"E) in the right column area (the new region will go over top of the existing one and the text will be aligned around the new region). You will have to Ripple the text again. 888888888DNow select the new region and press the Bitmap 888888888Placement Tool [gP Page 3-10]. A box will prompt you to choose to Center the image in the area, Scale the image to fit or Stretch and Scale the image. For now choose Center and do not check the Smooth box. Press OK and your image will be inserted into the region.  888888888pAgain, you can't really do much with this image. If you wish to Scale the image to fit 888888888pAgain, you can't really do much with this image. If you wish to Scale the image to fit you have to delete it and then import the graphic again as Page Layout Mode does not offer an Attributes option. 888888888tThis method also creates an interesting issue when 888888888you wish to use Editor Mode. Try clicking on the right text region on Page 20 and choosing Editor Mode. You will be prompted to choose a text area to edit even though the entire column has been selected. You will have to click on the shaded text area above or below the graphic region in order to use Editor Mode. 888888888tWe are done with Page 20 so will go to the next 888888888page and pour the remainder of this article into one column and import the graphic again but with a slightly different approach. 888888888tThis time we will draw our new region for the 888888888graphic only half as wide as the text region. In order to make this easier we will use the Ratchet Option. You can turn on Ratchet or Snap. Ratchet does not jump to Guidelines but moves at preset intervals. Select the Options Menu and then choose `set ratchet'. When the dialog box comes up you will see that you can set the ratchet at 2 pixel or 1/2 inch (the default) values. We want 1/2 inch ratcheting so press OK. Select the Options menu again and click on `ratchet' (C= R). Select the Region Tool and create a new region f888888888want 1/2 inch ratcheting so press OK. Select the Options menu again and click on `ratchet' (C= R). Select the Region Tool and create a new region from 3" and 3" to 4" and 4X (doesn't ratcheting make this easy?). Ripple the text and you should notice that the column of text now appears as different areas - the dashed lines are broken at the edges of the graphic region. If you go into Page Graphics mode and use the Zoom feature you will be able to see the breaks around t888888888the region. 888888888This, of course, wastes 888888888more of our valuable space. It is possible to place a graphics region without having these obvious region breaks but it takes ca888888888obvious region breaks but it takes careful placement and checking in the Zoom view. 888888888Again, however, when we do import the Scrap we 888888888have the same three choices for effect and that is it. 888888888@Smooth Operator 888888888A short discussion on Smoothing is required. If 888888888you choose Scaled to Fit or Stretched and Scaled to fit the graphic may lose some of its sharpness. The edges become blocky and the picture doesn't look very good. If you choose the Smooth option geoPublish will try to overcome some of this blockiness by adding extra pixels in certain places. This can have disturbing results - worse than leaving the picture alone. 888888888When you print your geoPublish file using 888888888geoPubLaser you have the option to set the quality of the smoothing. The available options are 75, 150, 300 or none. This sets the dots per inch (DPI) that any objects (text or graphics) designated for smoothing will be printed at. A lot of experimentation (test printing) is necessary to determine what level of smoothing works best for the graphic you are using. For the most part I don't worry about smoothing as it can take a long time to print pages when smoothing needs to be processed. 888888888Next time we will look at importing one of our 888888888Dummy articles and then changing the filename outside of geoPublish. 888888888Until then, enGEOy your Commodore!c`<`f͘>>͘fyfycf1>>0 x!
