Help supports four graphics formats:
Tagged Image File Format
(TIFF)—Color, grayscale, and black-and-white
images created by many standard drawing and scanning applications
(filename.tif).
X Window dump—Screen
dumps from the X Window System™ created with the xwd
utility ( filename.xwd)
X pixmap—Color icon
images (filename.pm).
X bitmap—Two-color
icon images (filename.bm).
Each graphic is maintained as a separate file. The file format
is determined using the file name extensions listed.
The Graphic element points via its attributes to an external
file containing graphical data.
A Graphic may be contained within a Figure. Figure must have
a Title, and may also contain a Link.
A Graphic is to be rendered as an object, not in-line. For
in-line objects, use the InlineGraphic element.
Graphic has the following attributes: Fileref, Entityref,
and ID.
The value of the Fileref attribute should be a filename, qualified
by a pathname if desired.
The value of the Entityref attribute should be that of an
external data entity.
Syntax |
 |
Here are some examples of the syntax of Graphic:
<graphic id="ABUG.edprp.igrph.1" entityref="ABUG.edprp.fig.1"></graphic> <graphic id="ABUG.crobj.igrph.2" entityref="ABUG.crobj.fig.2"></graphic> <graphic id="ABUG.crobj.igrph.1" entityref="ABUG.crobj.fig.1"></graphic> |
To Create a Figure |
 |
Declare a file entity to identify the image file to be included
in the Graphic that will be contained inside the Figure.
<!entity graphic-entity SYSTEM "filename.ext"> |
Use the Graphic element as shown:
<Graphic id="id"> entityref=" graphic-entity"<Graphic> |
Where graphic-entity
is the entity name for the graphic file you want to display.
If you want the Figure to be a hyperlink, use InlineGraphic
instead of Graphic, and put it inside a Link element.
