Why and Imported Image Appears Cropped
When FrameMaker imports an image it uses a bitmap to display
it on the screen. This bitmap is just used to represent your graphic,
and can be scaled, rotated, etc. However, the image will often appear
to only be a portion of the actual drawing you are trying to import --
as if a sizeable portion of the image was somehow cropped off. Do
note worry about this. Create the frame to the size
you wish your image to be, and when you print it out you will see that
the entire image is on the actual printout.
Some things to note:
- When you scale the bitmap, it does retain the actual proportions
the image will have when printed out. This means that is the bitmap
looks too stretched out or too narrow, your image will as well.
- The inital imported image is the size the image would be without
any scaling -- as if you sent it straight to the printer.
- If you want to import a plain postscript file, you will not get
an image, you should convert it to espi first:
add outland
ps2epsi file.ps file.epsi
