292.0. "Figures missing in online version" by JANUS::CWALSH (If it's wind, I'll call it Shaw) Thu Mar 08 1990 12:23

I have a manual containing a number of figures, which I have prepared under
DECwrite. I include the Postscript into my source SDML using the <include_file>
tag. This works fine for the hardcopy version of the manual, but when I look at
the online version and call up a figure from its hotspot, the window that
appears is small and empty (I tried enlarging the window - it is now big and
empty).

I could understand this if I was having trouble with the hardcopy version, too,
but the fact that the figures are only missing online is perplexing. Has anyone
else encountered this?

292.1We don't do PS "yet"MJFITZ::FITZELLput nifty saying hereThu Mar 08 1990 13:307
Check your log/lis file you should have an error message for each PS file that
 you tried to include that says figure not found. 

At this time PS  is not supported see notes 94,  87,  50 for more discussion
on the figure formats that are supported.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply. My first reaction was "What do you mean, we don't support
PS? I've used it dozens of times!" Then, when I actually thought about it for a
moment, I realised that I've always used line art.

    Use one of the conversion utilities, UTOX for example and create .FSE
    files and include those.
    
    You should get some nice figures then...
