Integrating pictures in textsbasics
pictures come basically in two different flavors
FAT as a bitmap
Slim as a incremental picture
- (many) dots describe the whole content of
the picture
- (some) vectors describe links or increments
map changes in the picture
- B/W dots or at least 3 dots, one per color
- the colors are attributes of the vectors
- the file's size depends of the picture's
surface and resolution
- the file's size depends of the picture's
content and complexity

Integrating pictures in textsdoes and donts
some rules to enhance the quality and the
maintain- ability of your pictures
- avoid bitmaps wherever possible, they produce
huge files
- avoid scanning, the quality is usually poor
- avoid OLE (embedded links), it needs a strong
link between source and text
- change at the source wherever and whenever
possible
- use only widespread formats they (should)
ensure portability
- all picture sources are a part of the
documentation, so provide them with the texts
(at best in a ZIP-file!)

Integrating pictures in textsrecommended formats
- Microsoft Office
- flow-charts .VSD (Visio)
- graphics / pictures .PPT (PowerPoint)
unavoidable bitmaps .BMP, .PCX - dont use Words graphical editor, it generates
bitmaps!
- Other source-formats
- photographs .JPG, (good rendering)
- technical pictures .DWG, .DGN (only B/W)
.GIF, .TIF
(max 16 colors!) - use Microsoft's .WMF metafile-format to insert
them into texts!
6
A few additional hints (based on CS experience)
- Labels in graphics
- If possible try to keep the labels out of the
graphic - If not, try to prepare a separate graphic to
insert in each language version. - Do not insert blank squares to hide labels in
another language. The hidden term will come
back to haunt you sooner or later!
7
Composite graphics ( most graphics)
- Select each element of the graphic, then Group
them to be able to size, move them, animate
them in PPT... If not...
OOPS
- To edit the graphic select all, ungroup, then
regroup
