#### 5.7.2.1 Using Mif2Go native graphics processing

RTF output only

Mif2Go can convert several graphic types to RTF-friendly formats. Mif2Go has full built-in support for converting the following formats to BMP or WMF:

• BMP (Windows bitmap, .bmp)

• WMF (Windows metafile, .wmf)

• OLE objects

• FrameImage (Sun raster, .rf)

• FrameMaker vector graphics (images created with FrameMaker drawing tools)

Mif2Go processes graphics of these types to produce WMF output, by default. You get the same result when you do one of the following:

• In the Mif2Go Export dialog, choose Write graphics for equations

• In the RTF configuration file, set the following options:

[Graphics]

UseGraphicPreviews = No

[Setup]

WriteEquations = Yes

WriteAllGraphics = No

The built-in Mif2Go graphics processing does a better job than the FrameMaker export filters for many graphics, and has much finer controls for adjusting things like callout sizes. Also see §6.14.5 Managing callouts added to graphics.

Not for tables in anchored frames

Mif2Go native graphics processing fails miserably on multi-cell tables inside anchored frames. For such cases, the FrameMaker export filters do a better job.
