Configure Convert

How to Find This Option

Select Configure Convert from the Setup menu.

Description and Use of This Option

The Configure Convert option allows you to change HiJaak PRO variables that affect memory and speed during a file conversion.

BUFFER SIZE

During a conversion, HiJaak PRO uses a buffer whose size depends on the kind of conversion being performed. The default Buffer Size is 16000; this is the maximum. If you get an Insufficient Memory error, type 10000 in the buffer field and click on OK or press Enter. Exit HiJaak PRO, then restart it. If you still get the error message, type 8000. The smaller the number, the larger the conversion that HiJaak PRO can handle, but the slower the conversion proceeds. If you are not having problems, leave this field at 16000.

TEMP DIRECTORY

During a conversion, HiJaak PRO uses the temporary directory defined by Windows as an environment variable. This directory can only grow as large as the amount of disk space free on the drive that contains your temporary environment variable. If you do not want to use the Windows temporary directory, you can specify another directory in the Configure Convert dialog box. Type the full path to a new temporary directory into the Temp Directory field (Alt+d). If, for example, you type in the path to a RAM disk you have created, conversions might be quicker.


Configure Fax

How to Find This Option

Select Configure Fax from the Setup menu.

Description and Use of This Option

The Configure Fax option allows you to select what kind of fax board you have, so that when you convert to a fax format, the converted image will be compatible with your particular fax card.

Configure HiJaak PRO for Your Fax Card as Follows:

1. From the Main Screen, pull down the Setup menu and click on Configure Fax (Alt+s, f). You will see the Configure Fax dialog box.

2. Scroll to the name of the fax card installed in your computer and click on it.

3. Click on OK.

Note: Most fax cards support faxable PCX, TIF (Class F), or both. If your fax device is not on the list, select Faxable PCX or Faxable TIF from the Configure Fax list.

For a list of supported fax formats, click on the following:

Supported Fax Formats


How to Capture a Windows Screen

Note: The following describes how to capture a Windows screen. If you want to learn how to capture a DOS screen, click on the following:
How to Capture a DOS Screen

1. Open HiJaak PRO, then minimize it.

2. Move to the Windows screen you want to capture.

3. Press the hotkey combination. If you have not changed the default, press Ctrl+Shift+C. The Windows Capture Options dialog box pops up allowing you to make any changes to your options before taking the picture. If you do not want to change options, skip to step 9.

Note: If the box does not pop up, you may have Prompt for Capture Options deselected. To select it, maximize HiJaak PRO. Pull down the Capture menu and click on Windows Capture (Alt+c, c). Check if the Prompt for Capture Options area has an X next to it. If it does not, click on it to select it (Alt+u). Click on OK or press Enter. Begin this procedure again from step 1.

4. In the Capture Method field (Alt+m), click on the Windows element you want to capture:

SCREEN -- the entire screen

WINDOW/OBJECT -- a specific window, icon, or menu on the screen

AREA -- an area of the screen

If you do not have mouse, you must select Screen.

5. In the Capture To area, click on the destination for your captured object:

HIJAAK WINDOW -- places the captured image in the HiJaak PRO Main window (Alt+w)

PRINTER -- sends the captured image to the default printer (Alt+p)

CLIPBOARD -- places the captured image in the Windows Clipboard (Alt+c)

FILE -- saves the captured image to a file name and path that you select (Alt+f)

COLLECTION -- places a thumbnail of the captured image in the HiJaak Browser Collection that you select; Collection is only available if you select File (Alt+l)

6. If you selected Capture To File in step 5, click on the Name field (Alt+n) beside the File check box and type the full path and file name where you want to save the captured image. If you do not include a file extension with the file name, HiJaak PRO automatically appends .BMP to the file name and uses the Windows Bitmap file type.

If you are not sure of the path or file type you want to use, click on the Browse (Alt+b) button beside the File check box. Select the path and file type you want to use. Click on OK to return to the Windows Capture Options dialog box.

If you do not change the file name when taking several captures, HiJaak PRO will automatically increment a numeral in the file name you specified in the first capture. For example, if you selected C:\SCREENS\EXAMPLE1.BMP as the first file, HiJaak PRO will make the next capture C:\SCREENS\EXAMPLE2.BMP.

7. If you selected Capture To Collection in step 5, click on the Name field (Alt+e) beside the Collection check box and type the name of the Collection into which you want to place a thumbnail of the captured image.

If you are not sure of the name of the Collection you want to use, click on the Browse (Alt+r) button beside the Collection check box. You will see the Save to Collection dialog box. For more information on how to use this dialog box, click on the following:

Save to Collection

8. HiJaak PRO also gives you the following Capture Options. Select the check box beside those options you want to use.

SHOW CURSOR: If you want the cursor to appear in the Windows capture, select this check box (Alt+s)

HIDE HIJAAK PRO: If you do not want the HiJaak PRO icon or window to appear in the Windows capture, select this check box (Alt+i). By default, this option is selected.

PROMPT FOR CAPTURE OPTIONS: If you want to change options in the Windows Capture Options dialog box every time you press the hotkeys, make sure this check box is selected. If you are taking several pictures in a row and do not want to change your option settings, deselect Prompt for Capture Options (Alt+u). Remember to reselect it when you are done. Reselecting is described in the note in step 3.

BORDER: If you want to place a thin black border around the captured object, select this check box (Alt+d).

SCALE TO WINDOW: If you are capturing to the HiJaak PRO window, and you want the captured image to fit in the window, select this check box (Alt+a). Note that this option only affects the display; it does not resize the actual image.

9. Click on OK. The dialog box closes. HiJaak PRO will use the options that you have set each time you capture a screen until you return to this dialog box and change them.

10. How you capture depends on whether you selected Screen, Window/Object or Area in step 4.

CAPTURING A SCREEN: When you click on OK, you will hear a beep. This indicates that HiJaak PRO has captured the screen.

CAPTURING A WINDOW/OBJECT: After you click on OK, move the mouse cursor around the screen. Notice that as the mouse passes over an object, the object becomes highlighted. When the window or object you want to capture is highlighted, click the mouse button once. You will hear a beep signaling that HiJaak PRO has captured the window or object.

CAPTURING AN AREA: After you click on OK, the cursor changes to a scissors icon. Click and drag the mouse to define the rectangular area you want to capture. Release the mouse button. You will hear a beep. This indicates that HiJaak PRO has captured the area.

11. If you selected File as the Capture To option, the captured image will be in the directory you selected. If you selected Window, maximize HiJaak PRO to view your captured image. If you selected Clipboard, the captured image is now in the Windows Clipboard. If you selected Printer, the current image will print to the active Windows printer. If you selected Collection, a thumbnail of the captured image will be in the HiJaak Browser Collection that you selected.

OTHER CAPTURE METHODS:

1. ICON METHOD: Arrange the screen you want to capture so that the HiJaak PRO icon is showing somewhere on the screen. Click once on the HiJaak PRO icon. Click on Capture, then select area, screen, or window/object (a, arrow, Enter). You will see the Windows Capture Options dialog box. Select options and take the picture as described in steps 4 through 11 above.

PRO: You can use this method anytime the HiJaak PRO icon is on the screen.

CON: The application you are capturing cannot be maximized.

2. PULL-DOWN MENU METHOD: Open the application you want to capture. Open HiJaak PRO without closing your application. Resize the HiJaak PRO screen so that it is taking up only part of the screen. In HiJaak PRO, pull down the Capture (Alt+c) menu and click on the type of object you want to capture: Screen (s), Window/Object (w), or Area (a). HiJaak PRO becomes minimized. You will see an instruction screen; click on OK. Press the hotkeys. You will see the Windows Capture Options dialog box. Select options and perform the capture as described in steps 5-11 above.

PRO: You can see the image being captured to the HiJaak PRO screen. You can immediately select Save As from the File menu to perform a conversion or do image processing on the captured image.

Convert

How to Find This Dialog Box

When you are viewing an image, pull down the File menu and click on Convert and you will see this dialog box.

Description and Use of this Dialog Box

This dialog box allows you to select whether to convert the file you are viewing (the active image) or another graphics file to another format.

To convert the file you are viewing, click on the click on the Convert Current Image to File (Save As) radio button (Alt+i) and click on OK. Follow steps 2-7 of the Save As method. For step-by-step instructions on using this method, click on the following:

Open then Save As

To convert a file other than the one you are viewing, click on the Convert File to File radio button (Alt+f) and follow the Convert method and click on OK. For step-by-step instructions on using this method, click on the following:

Convert


Convert Command Line Method

This method is one of three ways to convert a file using HiJaak PRO. To learn more about the other methods of converting a file, click on the following:

How to Convert a File

Use the Command Line Method if you want to do batch conversions.

1. Click on either the Run command in the Windows Program Manager File menu (Alt+f, r) or the Command selection on the HiJaak PRO File menu (Alt+f, m).

2. Type HJPRO [source filename] [destination filename]. All wildcards that you can use in DOS, you can use in command line mode. This command converts the file using the current set file settings. The complete syntax for the command line is as follows:

HJPRO [path/source.ext] [path/destination.ext]

If you want to use specific settings when you convert the file, you must attach a set file. The complete syntax for the command line is as follows:

HJPRO (path/source.ext) (path/destination.ext) (-setfile.set)

For information on set files, click on the following:

Set Files

For example, if the names of the PCX files you want to convert all begin with IMAGE and are on the D:\ drive, and you want to convert them to BMP files on the C:\ drive in the LOOK subdirectory, and you want to load the Ventura Publisher set file, you would type the following:

HJPRO d:\image*.pcx c:\look\*.bmp -ventura.set

If you are converting using the Command selection in the HiJaak File menu, you do not need to type the initial "HJPRO".

Note: Some Windows applications allow you to type a command line without exiting the application. If you are interested in doing this, check your software application's manual.

For information on Printing in Batch, click on the following:

Printing in Batch


Set Files

A set file is a file that controls specialized HiJaak settings. The "Load Settings" and "Save Settings" commands in the Setup menu refer to loading and saving set files.

Every time you convert a file or capture a screen and you select Memorize Settings, the options you have set are saved in HiJaak PRO's default set file. Those options become the default options settings for the next time you start HiJaak PRO and perform the same type of conversion. If you do not set new options, HiJaak PRO will use the same options settings as the last time. This "sticky" feature of HiJaak PRO allows you to perform complex operations repeatedly without having to specify options each time.

Important: If you do not select the Memorize Settings check box, no options settings will be written to your set file. For more information on memorizing settings, click on the following:

Memorizing Your Settings

Memorizing settings can get you into trouble if you are not careful. For example, suppose you have many PCX files that you routinely convert to TIF to import into Ventura Publisher. You might want to always replace a magenta with a particular blue, and you might want to specify the Ventura Publisher application flavor of TIF. This would work fine until you decided to perform the same operation (convert from PCX to TIF) to create files to import into PageMaker with no color changes necessary.

To deal with this problem, you would set all the options for your Ventura Publisher conversion, convert PCX to TIF, then save the settings as VENTURA.SET. This is described in How to Save Settings, below. You would then do the same for your PageMaker conversion, but save the settings as PAGEMAK.SET. Then, before doing a PageMaker conversion, you would go into Load Settings and select PAGEMAK.SET. Loading settings is described in How to Load Settings, below.

If you have made many option changes, you may want to restore the defaults that were shipped with HiJaak PRO. This is described in How to Reload the Original Settings, below.

Printing in Batch

Description and Use of This Procedure

The following procedure explains how to print files from the command line.

Print files from the command line as follows:

1. Select either the Run command in the Windows File Manager File menu (Alt+f, r) or the Command selection in the HiJaak PRO File menu (Alt+f, m).

IMPORTANT!: When using the HiJaak PRO Command Line, do not use HJPRO as part of the command.

2. Type PATH\HJPRO source file name PRN. All wildcards that you can use in DOS can be used to print from the command line. The complete syntax for command line printing is as follows:

PATH\HJPRO PATH/SOURCE.EXT PRN

For example, if you want to print all the BMP files in the root directory of the C:\ drive, type the following:

C:\INSET\HJPRO C:\*.BMP PRN

3. Click on OK.

Note: To close HiJaak PRO after using the command line from Program Manager type C:\INSET\HJPRO FILENAME PRN /UNLOAD.


How to Capture a DOS Screen

Note: The following describes how to capture a DOS screen. If you want to learn how to capture a Windows screen, click on the following:

How to Capture a Windows Screen

Important: If you have never captured a DOS screen with HiJaak PRO, you will need to set up DOS capture before continuing. For more information on setting up DOS capture, click on the following:

How to Setup DOSCAP

HiJaak PRO has two methods for capturing a DOS Screen. Method 1 uses the HiJaak PRO DOSCAP camera icon to "shell out" to DOS. Method 2 lets you exit Windows completely. Unless you are short on memory, use Method 1 since it is quicker.

Method 1: DOSCAP Icon

1. From the Windows Program Manager, double click on the DOSCAP camera icon. You will see the DOS Capture dialog box. You may want to change other options that you set in the setup procedure if your configuration has changed. Click on any that apply, then continue with step 2.

If you do not have much disk space, click here.

If you have EMS memory and want to use it, click here.

If you are capturing output headed for your printer, click here.

If you do not want to use Alt+Ctrl to capture, click here.

If you are capturing text screens other than US standard or code page 850, click here.

2. In the Capture From area of the screen, click on the Screen check box to select it (Alt+s), if it is not already selected.

3. Click on OK or press Enter. You will see an Instruction screen. Press Enter. You will see a DOS Prompt. If you are capturing printer output, click on the following:

How to Capture Printer Output

If you are capturing a screen, continue with step 4.

HiJaak PRO allows you to capture data headed for your LPT1 port. To use this feature, select Printer in the Capture From area of the DOS Capture Options dialog box (Alt+p). You may also want to increase the Printer Timeout (Alt+t). The number you type in this area of the screen represents how many seconds HiJaak PRO will wait before assuming an application has finished printing.


Changing the DOSCAP Hotkeys.
Changing the DOSCAP Hotkeys

If you have a TSR or a macro that conflicts with HiJaak PRO's default Alt+Ctrl hotkey combination, you can change the hotkey combination. In the DOS Capture Options dialog box, in the Hotkey area of the screen, scroll through and select the combination you want (Alt+k, arrow).


Capturing Text Screens in Fonts Other Than US Standard or Code Page 850

By default, HiJaak PRO treats DOS text screen captures as vector text. This allows you to choose which IBM PC font (TPF file) you use. However, HiJaak PRO can only recognize text in US Standard characters or code page 850 characters as vector text. If you are capturing a DOS screen with fonts other than these, such as those of the Danish, Russian or Japanese languages, click on the Rasterize Text check box (Alt+r) in the DOS Capture Options dialog box. HiJaak PRO will capture your text as a raster image rather than vector. You will not be able to change font type or size, but you will have an accurate representation of what is on your screen.

Note: Rasterized text screens result in larger IGF files than do standard DOS screen captures.


How to Capture Printer Output

1. Pull down the Capture menu and select DOS Capture Options (Alt+c, d). You will see the DOS Capture Options dialog box.

2. Pull down the Graphics Card area of the screen and click on the type of graphics card that's in your computer (Alt+g, arrow).

3. Note the default in the Hotkey area of the screen. If you have never changed this option, it will be ALT + CTRL. These are the two keys that, when pressed simultaneously, will initiate print trap later in this procedure. Do not change the hotkeys unless they conflict with a memory-resident program you have installed.

4. You may want to change options that you set in the setup procedure if your configuration has changed. Click on any that apply, then continue with step 5. For information on available options, click on one of the following:

If you do not have much disk space, click here.

If you have EMS memory and want to use it, click here.

If you do not want to use Alt+Ctrl to capture, click here.

5. In the Capture From area of the screen, click on Printer (Alt+p). Make sure Screen is not checked. Click on OK. Exit HiJaak PRO.

6. Double-click on the DOS Capture icon in the HiJaak PRO program group.

8. Press the hotkeys at the same time. The default keys are ALT+CTRL.

9. You will see a menu prompting you to type the path and file name of the file you are creating. The default is C:\INSET\TRAP1.PCL. Select the ouput type appropriate for your printer. If the printer output is PCL, HPGL or TXT, HiJaak PRO can convert it. For information on converting files, click on the following:
How to Convert a File

10. Print as you normally would from your application to the parallel printer port. DOS Capture captures the output and routes it to a file.

11. When you are finished, exit the application. To return to Windows, type EXIT at the DOS  prompt.

Note: You can also run the Print Trap utility by shelling out to DOS or exiting Windows and typing DOSCAP at the INSET directory DOS prompt. In DOS, you can press the hotkeys to capture print data at any time. When you have finished, type exit at the DOS prompt. Each time you re-boot your computer, you will need to reload print trap by changing to the INSET subdirectory and typing doscap. If you exit Windows instead of using the icon, you must set an environment variable with a path to your Windows directory. For example, SET WINDIR=C:\WINDOWS.

Crop - clips the image to a rectangular area that you specify.

Change a Font - allows you to change text fonts in vector images.

Trace - allows you to convert an image in a raster format to an image in a vector format.


How to Trace a Raster Image

How to Find This Command

A. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

B. Click on the Trace Options button in the Vector Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Command

This command allows you to see what a raster image will look like when it is converted to a vector image. If you like the results, you can save the traced image in any vector format.

The following options are available in the Trace Options dialog box. Click on the option about which you want more information:

Trace Method

View

Generalization

Maximum Colors

Undither

Speck Removal

Line Width

Sample

After you set trace options, you can preview them in the Raster Sample by clicking on the Preview (Alt+p) button. HiJaak PRO traces the sample, and the title of the Sample area changes to Vector Sample. To return to the original Raster Sample, click on the Reset button (Alt+r). You can continue testing sample areas and options until you get the results you want. When you get those results, click on OK to start the trace of the entire image.


Trace Method

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box.

A. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

B. Click on the Trace Options button in the Vector Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

Use this option to select what method HiJaak PRO will use to trace your image. You have the choice of Outline or Centerline.

OUTLINE: Select this method if you are tracing an image that contains mostly filled areas and few lines, such as scanned logos and artwork. Using this method, HiJaak PRO outlines each element in the image, creating a polygon. Each polygon is filled with black, white or color. When using Outline, HiJaak PRO treats both lines and fills as filled areas.

CENTERLINE: Select this method if you are tracing an image that contains mostly lines and few filled areas, such as blueprints, maps and schematics. Using this method, HiJaak PRO traces each line in the image separately. HiJaak PRO treats both lines and filled shapes as lines, but gives them different line widths.

To select this option, click on either the Outline (Alt+o) or the Centerline (Alt+c) radio button in the Method area.


Generalization Tolerance
Generalization

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box.

A. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

B. Click on the Trace Options button in the Vector Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

Select this option if you want HiJaak PRO to generalize (trace) chains of individual pixels as solid elements such as lines, polygons and polylines. It also allows you to generalize bezier curves. This option is useful because it decreases the file size and increases the editability of your traced image. Within the Generalization area there are 2 options: Tolerance and Bezier Generalization. Each is described below.

TOLERANCE: Generalization is controlled by the Tolerance setting. When HiJaak PRO uses a Tolerance of 0 to trace an image, it traces around each pixel, creating a staircase effect. This process creates an image that accurately represents the original image, but also results in a very large file that is virtually impossible to edit. To decrease file size, HiJaak PRO allows you to set a Generalization Tolerance. A tight tolerance setting retains the detail in the image, but creates an image that is very large and difficult to edit. A loose tolerance setting creates an image with smooth lines that are easier to edit, but that have lost some detail.

The Tolerance setting always applies to the generalization of lines, polygons and polylines. If you select Bezier Generalization, the Tolerance setting applies to these as well.

To select this option, click in the Tolerance field in the Generalization area (Alt+t) and type a value from 0-16 or click on the scroll bar and drag left or right. Generalization Tolerance is measured in pixels; the default Tolerance is 3.

BEZIER GENERALIZATION: This option traces 4 pt Bezier curves as curves rather than as lines. When a curve is traced as a series of lines, the file size becomes larger, and the curve becomes difficult to edit in the traced image. HiJaak PRO can generalize curves in the same way it generalizes lines.

By default, this option is selected. To deselect, click on the Bezier Generalization check box (Alt+b).


Maximum Colors

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box.

A. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

B. Click on the Trace Options button in the Vector Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

Use this option to select the maximum number of colors used to trace your image. A large value creates an accurate representation of the original image, but also creates a large file. A small value creates an image with a smaller file size, but one that less accurately represents the original image. By default, HiJaak PRO matches the number of colors in the traced image with the number in the original image.

This option is only available when you select the Outline method. When you select Centerline, HiJaak PRO uses 16 colors.

To select this option, pull down the Maximum Colors drop-down list and click on the maximum number of colors with which you want HiJaak PRO to trace your image (Alt+m, arrow, Enter).


Undither

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box.

A. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

B. Click on the Trace Options button in the Vector Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

Select this option if you want HiJaak PRO to re-create color or gray patterns as solid colors. This option decreases the file size and increases the editability of your traced image. Because HiJaak PRO treats each individual pixel in a raster image as its own object, traced files can become very large and virtually uneditable. The Undither option re-creates dither, halftone and diffusion patterns as solid colors or shades of gray.

To select this option, pull down the Undither drop-down list and click on the number of pixels you want HiJaak PRO to re-create as solid colors (Alt+u, arrow, Enter).


Speck Removal

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box.

A. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

B. Click on the Trace Options button in the Vector Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

Use this option to remove small extraneous dots, or specks, from the original image. These specks are usually the result of a messy scan or fax. If these specks are left in the original image, HiJaak PRO will trace every one, resulting in a large file that takes a long time to process. Selecting this option will result in a smaller file, but one in which some detail may be lost.

To select this option, pull down the Speck Removal drop-down list and click on Small, Medium or Large to remove specks of that size (Alt+s, arrow, Enter).


Line Width

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box.

A. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

B. Click on the Trace Options button in the Vector Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Options

This option is only available when you select the Centerline method of tracing. It allows you to select at what width the lines in the image are traced. The default setting is Variable, which  approximates line widths as close to the original image as possible. All other settings are "fixed," for example. Fixed at 1, Fixed at 2, and so on. The Fixed settings trace all lines at the same width, 1-10.

To select this option, pull down the Line Width drop-down list and click on Variable, or Fixed at 1 ... Fixed at 10 (Alt+l, arrow, Enter).


Sample

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

Description and Use of This Option

Use this option to see the results of your trace options as you select them, before HiJaak PRO begins to trace the entire image. The Sample allows you to see if the options you selected will work with your image, and therefore saves you time.

By default, HiJaak PRO takes the center 120x120 pixels of your image to use as the Sample. If the center of the image does not provide a good test area, click on the Select New Sample button (Alt+e). The Trace Options dialog box closes and you will see a square frame overlaying the image. Use the mouse to move that frame to an area that is a suitable test area and click the mouse button once. The Trace Options dialog box reappears with the area you selected appearing in the Raster Sample area.

After you set trace options, you can preview them by clicking on the Preview button (Alt+p). HiJaak PRO traces the sample, and the title of the sample changes to Vector Sample. To return to the original Raster Sample, click on the Reset button (Alt+r). You can continue testing sample areas and options until you get the results you want. When you get those results, click on OK to start the trace of the entire image.


View

How to Find This Option

This option is available in the Trace Options dialog box. While viewing a raster image, select Trace from the Edit menu.

Description and Use of This Option

Use this option to select the window into which HiJaak PRO traces the image. You have the choice between creating a new image or replacing the existing image. Select Create New Image to see the traced image in a window separate from the original image. The title of the new image is the same as the original, but with an IGF extension. You can compare the original and the traced image side by side to see how accurate the trace was. Select Replace Existing Image to see only the traced image in the original image window. The title of the new image is the same as the original but with an IGF extension.

To select this option, click on either the Create New Image (Alt+n) or the Replace Existing Image radio button (Alt+x) in the View area.


Crop

Note: You will need a mouse to crop an image.

How to Find This Command

While viewing an image, pull down the Edit menu and you will see this command.

Description and Use of This Command

This command allows you to clip the active image to a rectangular area that you specify.

Crop the Active Image as Follows:

1. Pull down the Edit menu and click on Crop (Alt+e, o). The cursor changes to the scissors icon. If you choose to cancel this function now, press Esc. Your cursor changes back to an arrow.

2. Move the cursor to any corner of the area you want to crop.

3. Click and drag the mouse to create the area you want to keep after cropping.

4. When you let go of the mouse button, the area outside the boundary you have defined will be gone.


Format Extensions

Use Within HiJaak

The Format Extensions dialog box allows you to change which extensions HiJaak associates with a particular format. If, for example, all of your TIF files have the extension OTH, you can use this feature to make HiJaak recognize OTH extensions as TIFF files.

Use in the Windows File Manager

In addition to the above, if you select the Register button, you can "associate" a file type in the Windows File Manager. For example, you could configure HiJaak so that when you double-click on an OTH file in File Manger, you will immediately view the file (as a TIFF file) in HiJaak. The Register option edits the OLE database.

Change or Add Format Extension Associations as Follows:

1. Pull down the Setup menu and click on Format Extensions (Alt+s, x). You will see the Format Extensions dialog box.

2. In the Formats list, scroll to the file format you want to associate with a particular extension (Alt+f, arrow). In the example above, you would highlight TIFF.

3. Click on the Extension area (Alt+e). Type in the extension you would like to have associated with the highlighted format. In the example above, you would type OTH. If you have no more associations to do, and you do not want to register the association with File Manager, click on OK or press Enter to accept the association. You will return to the Main menu.

4. If you have another association to add, click on Add (Alt+a), then do steps 2 and 3 for each association you want to add.

Delete Format Extension Associations as Follows:

If you want to delete an association, do steps 1 through 3 but in step 3 click on Delete (Alt+d) before clicking on OK.

Register the Extension Associations with the Windows File Manager as Follows:

1. If you want to register the association with Windows File Manager, click on Register (Alt+r). You will see the Register dialog box.

2. If you select All Formats (Alt+a), each time you double-click on any HiJaak-supported file in the Windows File Manager, you will immediately view the file in HiJaak. Click on OK or press Enter to return to the Format Extensions dialog box. Select OK again to accept your changes and return to the Main screen.


Vector and Raster Images Defined

There are two general types of graphics file formats -- vector and raster -- each is described below.

Vector images consist of drawing objects such as lines, circles and squares. Vector images can also contain text whose font, unlike raster text, can be changed using HiJaak PRO's Change a Font command. Vector images are usually created by CAD, drawing, charting or graphing software applications.

Raster images consist of thousands of dots, called pixels, that are arranged in a rectangle called a bitmap. Raster images are usually created by scanners or paint software applications. All fax formats are raster.

Metafiles are another format type that contain both raster and vector components.

Using HiJaak PRO you can convert from and to the following:

- a RASTER file format to a RASTER file format

- a RASTER file format to a VECTOR file format

- a RASTER file format to a METAFILE file format

- a VECTOR file format to a VECTOR file format

- a VECTOR file format to a RASTER file format

- a VECTOR file format to a METAFILE file format

- a METAFILE file format to a RASTER file format

- a METAFILE file format to a VECTOR file format

- a METAFILE file format to a METAFILE file format

- all file formats to PostScript language

To find out if the active image is in a raster, vector or metafile format, pull down the File menu and click on Info (Alt+f, i).

How to Convert an Image


Change a Font

Note: You will need a mouse to change a font in an image.

How to Find This Command

While viewing a vector image or DOS text screen capture, pull down the Edit menu and you will see this command.

Description and Use of This Command

You can only change fonts if your image is a vector image. To see if your image is in a vector format, pull down the File menu and click on Info. You will also need to use a mouse. You can change fonts to any TrueType font you have installed on your system. For information on installing TrueType fonts, see your Windows manual.

Change a Font as Follows:

1. Make sure that the image you want to edit is open and active.

2. Pull down the Edit menu and click on Change Font (Alt+e, f). The cursor will change to a pointing finger and selectable text will be highlighted. If you choose to cancel this function now, press Esc. The cursor will change back to an arrow.

Note: It is important to understand that text may not be described as text in the graphics file. Letters can also be drawn using lines, curves or dots rather than being described as a computer code (ASCII) for a letter of the alphabet. When the letters are described using codes, they are called "text." HiJaak PRO can only select text that is described as "text" in the graphics file.

3. Move the cursor to a letter that has the font you want to change and click the mouse to select. Throughout the image, all text with this font is highlighted and the selected text is surrounded by handles.

4. If you want, you can click on and drag the handles to change the width and height of the selected font throughout the text. For example, if you increase the height of the text by 20%, throughout the image, all text in this font will increase in size 20%.

Warning: The font changes will be global. This means two things. First, all text with the font you have selected will change to your selected font. Second, if you save your changes in step 7, every time you open a file that has the currently active image's format, the font substitution will be done automatically. If you do not want the changes to affect subsequent editing or conversion sessions, you chould use a custom made "set file." For more information on set files, click on the following:

Set Files

5. To change the font, click once on the selected text. You will see the Font Selection dialog box.

Note: If you are editing a DOS text screen capture, you will see a Source Options dialog box instead of the Windows Font Selection dialog box. Click on Help if you need help with this dialog box (Alt+h).

6. Click on any font in the Windows Font Selection dialog box.

7. To make these font changes, click on OK. When you save the image, the font changes will be saved.

When you select the Memorize Settings check box (Alt+m) in the Destination Processing Options dialog box, source/dest options are memorized based on both the format you are converting from--the source format and the format you are converting to--the destination format. For example, Grayscale is a source/dest option. If you select Grayscale and Memorize Settings when converting from TIF to EPS, Grayscale will only be used for converting from TIF (the source) to EPS (the dest.). If you substitute a different source or destination format, Grayscale will not be memorized. See the table below for a list of source/dest options.

Dest-Only Options:

When you select the Memorize Settings check box (Alt+m) in the Destination Processing Options dialog box, dest-only options are memorized based only on the format to which you are converting. For example, Rotation is a dest-only option. If you select Rotate and Memorize Settings when converting from TIF to EPS, the rotation setting will be memorized every time you convert to EPS, regardless of the source format. See the table below for a list of dest-only options.

Quality (JPEG only)

How to Find This Option

If you are converting a file to JPG, click on the Options button in either the Convert To or Save As dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

When you convert to the JPG format, the file you create will be compressed using JPEG compression. JPEG is a "lossy" compression; that is, you can compress the file as much as you need to, but some information in the file will be lost as a result. The Quality option allows you to determine how much information loss is acceptable. The setting for Quality ranges from 2 to 255, with 2 being very high quality and 255 being very low. The default setting of 20 should yield good results in most cases. The higher the quality setting, the better the quality of the image, but the larger the file.

To set quality, click in the Quality area (Alt+q) and type in your desired setting.


Gray Replacement

Note: This option is only available when you select CMYK in the Color Model area of the dialog box. For more information on selecting a color model, click on the following:

Color Model

How to Find This Option

When converting a file to EPS format, click on the Options button in the Convert To or Save As dialog box. You will see the EPS Processing Options dialog box. This option appears in the EPS Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

This option allows you to select a percentage of C, M and Y that you want to replace with K. This is useful if you need your image to contain pure black or pure grays or if you need to save ink when you print the image.

Theoretically, equal amounts of C, M and Y should create shades of gray ranging from white (C=0%, M=0%, Y=0%) to black (C=100%, M=100%, Y=100%). In reality, equal amounts of C, M and Y create a muddy brown. Gray Replacement should solve this problem.

By replacing a percentage of the equal amounts of C, M and Y with K, you can create colors closer to pure black or gray. For example, suppose you had a color that was described as C=50%, M=75% and Y=25% (lavender). The minimum value common to all three values is 25%; this is called the Neutral Zone. When the remainder of the C and M are added, a lavender is created, but the color is muddy because there is no true gray. Gray Replacement adds K to the color model, replacing a percentage of the Neutral Zone to bring it closer to a true gray and create a more accurate color.

If, in the above example you set Gray Replacement to 30%, then 30% of the Neutral Zone would be replaced with K. The values above become C=42% , M=67%, Y=17% and K=8%, which is 30% of 25%. The resulting color is clearer because the muddy brown is eliminated. Also, in the final printing process, ink is saved because instead of using three different inks to create black or gray, only one is used.

To select this option, click in the Gray Replacement field (Alt+p) and type the percentage of the CMY Neutral Zone that you want to replace with K. For best results, it is recommended that you set Gray Replacement at 30% or less.


Color Model

How to Find This Option

When converting a file to EPS format, click on the Options button in the Convert To or Save As dialog box. You will see the EPS Processing Options dialog box. This option appears in the EPS Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

This option allows you to select the color model HiJaak PRO will use to create the EPS file. A color model describes the way colors are created in a file. You have the choice of RGB and CMYK.

RGB creates colors by adding light--Red, Green and Blue--to create color on black, such as a television screen or computer monitor; when RGB values are all equal to 100%, white is created.

CMYK creates colors by subtracting light--Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black--from white, such as printing on white paper; when CMY values are all equal, gray is created, when they are all equal to 100%, black is created. An alternative to equal amounts of CMY is using a percentage of K.

Select CMYK if you plan to print the file to a color printer that supports the CMYK color model or if you plan to do color separations on the file; otherwise, select RGB.

To select this option, click on either the RGB or CMYK (Alt+y) radio button in the Color Model area of the dialog box. The default is RGB.


Form Feed

How to Find This Option

When converting a file to EPS format, click on the Options button in the Convert To or Save As dialog box. You will see the EPS Processing Options dialog box. This option appears in the EPS Processing Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

This option allows you to create an EPS file that can be sent directly to the printer. By default, this option is not selected; HiJaak PRO creates EPS files that must be imported into an application to be printed. If you want to send the file directly to the PostScript printer, you need to set this option.

To select this option, click on the Form Feed check box (Alt+m).


Compress

How to Find This Option

If you are converting a file to either PCL or IGF, click on the Options button in the Convert To or Save As dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

This option makes files smaller by compressing them. PCL files are compressed using white space removal and IGF files are compressed using LZW compression. If you select this option, your files may take longer to convert or open.

To compress PCL or IGF files, click on the Compress check box (Alt+p).


Flavor

How to Find This Option

Click on the Options button in the Convert To or Save As dialog boxes if you are converting to one of the following formats: BMP, CGM, EPS, GEM, ICA, JPG, MAC, MSP, TIF, WMF or WPG.

Description and Use of This Option

Some formats have several variations. These variations are called "flavors." Even though different flavors of a format, such as CGM, are still CGM, they may not be compatible with all applications that support CGM. To be certain that your application can read the format that HiJaak PRO outputs, HiJaak PRO provides the Flavors option.

To select a flavor of a format, pull down the Flavors field and click on the flavor compatible with your destination application (Alt+f, arrow).

Description and Use of This Option

Select this option if you want to bring out detail in an image that appears to be the same color or colors throughout the image. To bring out detail, histogram equalization analyzes the colors in the image. Colors that are very close in value (i.e., they look very similar) are distributed over the spectrum of colors in the image.

To select Histogram Equalization, click on the Histogram Equalization check box (Alt+q).

When you select this option, the Contrast, Brightness and Gamma Correction options are disabled.


Embedded View for PostScript Language Files

How to Find This Option

If you are converting a file to EPS format, click on the Options button in the Convert To or Save As dialog box. This options appears in the Convert To Options and the Save As Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

EPS files without an embedded view are normally not viewable in application programs. If you are converting a file to the EPS format, you may want to be able to view a representation of your destination file. HiJaak PRO does this by inserting a small bitmapped file. This option will allow you to view the file in an application that will view "viewable EPS" files. Remember that you will not be able to view the EPS file itself, only the bitmapped representation of it.

To select an Embedded View, pull down the Embedded View area and click on the file type you want the embedded view to be (Alt+v, arrow).

Note: You cannot print an EPS file with an embedded view directly to a Postscript Language printer. You must print it from within your software application.


Curve Quality

How to Find This Option

A. If you are converting to a vector format, select Convert To or Save As from the File Menu. In the Convert To or Save As dialog box, click on the Options button.

B. Select Preferences from the HiJaak PRO Setup menu.

Description and Use of This Option

This option determines the smoothness of the lines HiJaak PRO will create in a destination file. Curve Quality is only valid when converting or viewing files that contain a special kind of complex curve called a Bezier curve. If your image does not contain Bezier curves, this option will have no effect on the image. The three quality selections are Fine, Medium and Coarse. The finer the line, the longer the processing time during conversion and the larger the resulting file, but the better the image quality.

To specify this option, pull down the Curve Quality area of the dialog box and click on the desired fineness (Alt+q, arrow).


Custom

How to Find This Option

If you are converting a file to the TIF file format, click on the Custom button in the Save As Options or Convert To Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

When you are converting a file to the TIF format, you may not know which of the many TIF "flavors" you want your file to have. Flavors are variations in a format. Even though different flavors of TIF are still TIF, they may not be compatible with all applications that support it. If you have a TIF file that works with your application, HiJaak can scan that file and "learn" how to produce TIF files of that type. Then, when you convert a file to TIF, HiJaak will convert to that particular flavor.

1. Click on Options (Alt+o) in the Convert To or Save As dialog boxes. You will see the TIF Options dialog box.

2. Select the Custom Button (Alt+o). You will see the Custom TIFF dialog box.

3. Select the drive, directory and file name of a sample file of the desired TIF flavor and click on OK. You will see the TIF Custom Flavors dialog box.

Note: If you are converting a file, not all of the following options will be available.

MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO: This option is the default Scaling setting in the Resize dialog box. It is not available in the Convert To or Save As dialog boxes. When this option is selected, HiJaak reads the height you enter and calculates the width without distorting the aspect ratio; or, HiJaak reads the width you enter and calculates the height without distorting the aspect ratio.

FIT IN WIDTH: Select this if your destination file must fit into a specific width. HiJaak reads the width you enter in the width field and calculates the height for your destination file without distorting the aspect ratio.

FIT IN HEIGHT: Select this if your destination file must fit into a specific height. HiJaak reads the height you enter in the height field and calculates the width for your destination file without distorting the aspect ratio.

FIT IN FRAME: Select this if your destination file must fit into a specific height and width (or "frame") without the image being distorted. HiJaak reads the height and width you enter in the height and width fields and then makes the largest image that fits into this frame without distorting the aspect ratio.

DISTORT TO FRAME: Select this if your destination file must fit into a specific height and width (or "frame") and distorting the image to do this is okay. HiJaak reads the height and width you enter in the height and width fields and then makes the file fit into this frame, possibly distorting the aspect ratio.

DISTORT ASPECT RATIO: Select this if you want to allow distortion of the aspect ratio. Then set the Distort Aspect (Width/Height) option. To learn about the Distort Aspect (Width/Height) option click on the following:
Distort Aspect (Width/Height)

FIT IN DISPLAY: Select this if you want your image to match the size of your display. For example, if your display is 640x480, and you select this option, your image becomes 640x480, regardless of its original size. HiJaak distorts the aspect if necessary, even if you did not select the Distort Aspect option.

Note: You may not be able to view the entire image in the HiJaak Main screen. To view the entire image at 100%, pull down the View menu and select Image Only (Alt+v,i).

FIT IN DISPLAY WIDTH: Select this if you want your image to fit in the width of your display. HiJaak calculates the height without distorting aspect ratio.

FIT IN HIJAAK WINDOW: Select this if you want your entire image to view in the HiJaak Main screen. HiJaak maintains the aspect ratio.

Note: If you have selected the Auto Scale/Scale to Window option from either the Open dialog box or the View menu, the entire image will view in the HiJaak main screen. However, Auto Scale only changes the view; Fit in HiJaak Window changes both the view and the image.

FIT IN HIJAAK WIDTH: Select this if you want your image to fit in the width of the HiJaak Main screen. HiJaak calculates the height without distorting the aspect ratio.

Note: If you have selected the Auto Scale/Page in Width option from either the Open dialog box or the View menu, the image will view in the width of the HiJaak main screen. However, Auto Scale only changes the view; Fit in HiJaak Width changes both the view and the image.


Screen Frequency

How to Find This Option

A. While viewing an image in HiJaak PRO, select Reduce Colors from the Colors menu.

B. Click on the Reduce Colors button in either the Convert To Options or Save As Options dialog box.

C. Click on the Reduce Colors button in the Print Options dialog box.

Description and Use of This Option

This option is only available if you have selected Halftone as the reduction method. Since this option requires you to enter a unit of measure, set the Units option in the previous dialog box to inches before setting this option.

If you select Halftone as the reduction method and do not specify a value for screen frequency, HiJaak calculates the number of unique colors or grays in an image, and automatically calculates an appropriate screen frequency for your image.

Screen frequency is the Lines Per Inch (LPI) of your output device. There is a proportional relationship between resolution (horizontal and vertical), screen frequency and the number of grays in your output. The formula for this is:

GRAY LEVELS=(RESOLUTION/SCREEN FREQUENCY)2

For example: If you have a 300 Dot Per Inch (DPI) resolution printer, and you set your screen frequency to 150 LPI, your printer output will have 4 grays. If you change your screen frequency to 75 LPI, your printer output will contain 16 grays, but it will have a coarser grain than the first example. If you want more grays with a fine grain, increase the resolution by printing out to an imagesetter with high resolution (1200 DPI or higher).

If you set screen frequency, you should set horizontal and vertical resolution of your file to match your output device. To learn about those options, click on the following:

Reduction Method

How to Find This Option

A. While viewing an image in HiJaak PRO, select Reduce Colors from the Colors menu.

B. Select the Reduce Colors button in either the Convert To Options or Save As Options dialog box.

C. Click on the Reduce Colors button in the Print Options dialog box.

D. In HiJaak PRO, select Preferences from the Setup menu.

Description and Use of This Option

The reduction method you choose affects how a given pixel in the source file correlates to a given pixel in the destination file. Use this option to specify which of the following reduction methods HiJaak should use to create the converted file:

SNAP: This is the quickest method. Essentially, HiJaak reads each pixel in the source file and matches the color as closely as possible using the destination format's palette. This works well if your source image has a wide range of colors, and the adjacent dots are well differentiated. You will probably not want to use this if you are converting a file with many colors to a file with few colors.

HALFTONE: This method, as well as Dither and Diffuse, is often used when converting a color file for output on a black and white device (like a black and white printer). Halftone, Dither and Diffuse all attempt to simulate colors with patterns representing different levels of gray. Halftone simulates gray by varying the placement and grouping of each dot (pixel) on an invisible grid. The more dots in a certain area of the grid, the darker the shade. You can see this variation under a magnifying glass or using Zoom In. In Halftone, the groupings are dots, in Dithering the groupings are a more intermixed pattern. The Halftone method generally produces the best black and white printed image.

DITHER: This method creates patterns for each color or each shade of gray it is attempting to simulate. These patterns are repeated in the image each time that particular simulated color is needed. Sometimes these patterns are visible and they can become distracting. If this happens, you may want to select Diffuse.

DIFFUSE: This method is similar to the Dither method except that the patterns change (or diffuse) gradually across the image. This means that you are less likely to notice a repeating pattern. The downside of this method is that "worming" patterns can appear in a local area. Generally, Diffuse will produce the best displayed image.

The best method for you depends upon the source and destination file types, number of colors and palette in both your source and destination, the output device you are using, your particular image, and what effect you find pleasing. Experiment with your particular image if you are interested in this kind of image processing. During experimentation, you will probably want to consider changing the settings for Screen Frequency or Smoothing. For more information on these options, click on the following:

Interlace

How to Find This Option

This option is located in the GIF Raster Processing Options dialog box. To get to this dialog box, click on the Options button in the Save As or Convert To dialog box when you are converting a file to CompuServe GIF format.

Description and Use of This Option

The Interlace option controls how the GIF image is drawn. By default, HiJaak PRO creates a GIF image that is drawn one line at a time: the first line, then the second, and third and so on. When a GIF file is interlaced, the image is drawn one line at a time, but in a different order: the first line, then every eighth line, then back to the fourth line and every eighth line after that. It continues this pattern until the image is completed. The Interlace method allows you to get an idea of what the image is before it has completed drawing.

You should select the Interlace option if you plan on allowing users to download the GIF image from the Internet or CompuServe. If the image is drawn using the interlace method, the user can get an idea of what the image is before the entire image has finished downloading. If he does not want the image, he can save time by canceling before the download is complete.

To select this option, click on the Interlace check box (Alt+n).


Transparency

How to Find This Option

This option is located in the GIF Raster Processing Options dialog box. To get to this dialog box, click on the Options button in the Save As or Convert To dialog box when you are converting a file to CompuServe GIF format.

Descripition and Use of This Option

The Transparency option allows you to replace black or white in the GIF image's color palette with a transparent value. If parts of the image are transparent, you will be able to see whatever is behind it. This option is useful if, for example, you have a GIF image with a white background, that you want to import into a document with a gray background. If you import the image directly, you'll get the white matting over the gray; however, if you set white to transparent, then you will see the image directly on the gray background. Using Transparency can be helpful when you create home pages for the Internet's World Wide Web.

By default, HiJaak PRO sets Transparency to None. To replace all black in the image with a transparency, click on the Black radio button in the Transparency area of the dialog box (Alt+y, down arrow). To replace all white in the image with a transparency, click on the White radio button in the Transparency area of the dialog box (Alt+y, down arrow).

TIP: If you want to set a color other than black or white to transparent, first use HiJaak PRO's Change a Color option to change the black or white in the image to a color that is very close. Then, use Change a Color to change the color that you want to make transparent to black or white. For example, suppose you had an image with a blue background that you wanted to make transparent. First, change all black in the image to dark gray. Then change all blue in the image to black. Then, convert the image to GIF and select Black in the Transparency area of the dialog box. For more information on changing colors, click on the following:

Object Linking and Embedding

Description and Use of This Procedure

HiJaak PRO is an Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) server. This feature allows you to place HiJaak objects, which are graphics images, into any client application. Client applications are usually desktop publishers and word processors. HiJaak PRO cooperates with OLE clients to allow you to create documents containing a variety of images. These documents are called compound documents. Although the Windows Clipboard Cut and Paste function is similar, OLE allows you to edit an object after you have inserted it. You can easily manipulate images without leaving the document.

Many applications, such as Microsoft Word, Ami Pro, Ventura and Excel, act as OLE clients. Since Windows Write is available to all Windows users, it will be used as an example in all discussions of OLE. The procedure for Windows Write is similar to the procedure for any other application.

In order to use OLE, you must first register HiJaak PRO with the selected file extensions. For information on this process, click on the following:

Registration with File Manager

For example, if you plan to work on your document at different workstations, you need all of the document's information saved in one file. Embedding allows this.

Embed HiJaak PRO Objects in Windows Write as Follows:

1. Double-click on the Windows Write icon to open that application; it is usually located in the Accessories Program Group.

2. Open the document in which you want to embed a HiJaak object, and place your cursor where you want the upper-left corner of the image to appear.

3. Pull down the Edit menu and select Insert Object (Alt+e, i). You will see the Insert Object dialog box.

4. From the Object Type List box, select HiJaak Image and click on OK.

5. HiJaak PRO starts up and the Open dialog box appears. Select the image you want to embed in your Write document. Click on OK.

6. HiJaak PRO displays the selected file. Pull down HiJaak PRO File menu and select Update Write (Alt+f, u).

7. Processing occurs as the graphics file is embedded into your document. Pull down the File menu and select Exit and Return to Write (Alt+f, x).

8. HiJaak PRO closes, and the image appears in your document.

Editing Embedded Objects

Description and Use of This Procedure

This procedure describes how to edit an embedded HiJaak object. Since an embedded file's data is saved in the document file, you can edit the object directly from your application. Since the embedded file retains a link to HiJaak PRO, HiJaak PRO will act as your editor. The editing changes you make to the object in HiJaak PRO will be updated in your application.

Edit Embedded Objects as Follows:

1. Double-click on the embedded object. A frame with handles appears around the object, and HiJaak PRO starts up with the object appearing in the Main screen.

2. Perform any of the editing functions offered by HiJaak PRO.

3. Pull down the File menu and select Update Write (Alt+f, u).

4. Pull down the File menu and select Exit and Return to Write (Alt+f, x).


Object Linking

Description and Use of This Procedure

This procedure describes how to place a graphics file into a client document using object linking. You should link an image when you want a smaller file size. When you link, only the link joining the application, the object and HiJaak PRO is saved with the client application, not the entire image file. This keeps file size small. Linking is particularly useful because it allows you to maintain graphics files separately from your document files. Use HiJaak PRO to edit the files and they update automatically in your application.

Link a HiJaak PRO Object in Windows Write as Follows:

1. Open HiJaak PRO.

2. Open the file that you want to link to your Write document.

3. Pull down the Edit menu and select Copy As (Alt+e, a). You will see the Select Clipboard Format dialog box. For raster images, select Windows DIB (Alt+d). For vector images, select Windows WMF (Alt+w). Select the appropriate format for your image and click on OK (Enter). Exit HiJaak PRO.

4. Open Windows Write.

5. Pull down the Edit menu and select Paste Special (Alt+e, e). You will see the Paste Special dialog box.

6. From the Data Type list box, select HiJaak Image.

7. Click on Paste Link. Your selected HiJaak PRO object will appear in your document.

Note: In step 7 of the above procedure, if you select Paste rather than Paste Link, you will embed the object in your document, rather than link it to your document.

Word for Windows supports a number of formats, such as WMF, EPS, TIF, CGM, HPGL, WPG, DRW, PCX, BMP, DXF, PLT and Lotus PIC. However, if you want to place a file that is not in one of these formats, you can use HiJaak PRO to convert the file into a format Microsoft Word for Windows can read. Although each file is different, we recommend using HiJaak PRO to convert to the following formats before placing images into Microsoft Word for Windows:

* If you will be importing a raster image, convert to BMP.

* If you will be importing a vector image, convert to WMF.

To learn more about converting files, click on the following:

How to Convert a File

WMF, TIF and PGL Tip: Although Word for Windows supports these formats, there are times that files in these formats will not import into Word. If this happens, open the file in HiJaak PRO. From HiJaak PRO, save it in its original format or the format of your choice. Word for Windows will now import the file.


Inserting Graphics Files in Word

The easiest way to place graphics files in Word is to use Smuggler. For more information on using Smuggler, click on the following:

HiJaak Smuggler

If you are unable import a graphics file using Smuggler, you can use the following procedure.

Description and Use of This Procedure

Microsoft Word for Windows does not recognize certain file formats; IFF is one. If you try to place an IFF file, Microsoft Word for Windows gives you the message "The Graphics filter was unable to convert this file." You can use HiJaak PRO to convert the file into one Microsoft Word for Windows can read.

The following procedure uses GOLDN256.IFF as an example of a graphics file that might be placed within a Word for Windows document. This file is located in the INSET\SAMPLES directory. If you did not install the sample files, you will not have this file; however, the following procedure is the same for other files as well.

Note: Word for Windows supports 16 color display and 256 color printouts. If you are importing a 256 color graphic into Word, it might not display as you expect. It will, however, print as you expect. If an accurate display is your priority, use HiJaak PRO to reduce the number of colors to 16. From HiJaak PRO Edit menu, select Reduce Colors. In the Number of Colors field, select 16. Click on the Optimize Palette check box. HiJaak PRO will match the closest 16 colors to those in your 256 color image. You may also link or embed your 256 color image. Linked and embedded images both display and print in 256 color. For information on using object linking and embedding to import a file into a Word document, click on the following:

How to Convert a File from One Format to Another

Learning HiJaak PRO

HiJaak PRO offers three methods for converting files from one format to another. Converting is the process of creating a new file by changing the original from one graphics format to another. Converting files is useful if you want to use a file in an application that does not support the file type of the file. You can use HiJaak PRO to convert the file to a format that the application supports. In this lesson, you will use the Open then Save As method for converting a JPG file to a BMP file.

1. Open the file BOATS.JPG located in the C:\INSET\TUTORIAL subdirectory.

You will convert this file to a format appropriate for use in Word for Windows 6.0.

2. Click once on the File menu to pull it down and click on Save As.

You will see the Save As dialog box. This dialog box allows you to select a new name, location and format for the converted file.

3. Click on the down arrow beside the Drives field and click on C:.

This selects the C: drive as the location in which you will save the image.

4. In the Directories area, double-click on the INSET directory, and then double-click on the TUTORIAL subdirectory.

If the INSET directory is not visible, double-click on C:\ in the Directories area to move up one level. You will see the INSET directory. Then select the TUTORIAL subdirectory as described above.

5. Click on the Target App button.

You will see the Target Application dialog box. This dialog box allows you to select the application with which you will be using the converted file. When you select the application, HiJaak PRO selects the best format to import into that application.

6. From the Target Application list box, click on Word for Windows 6.0. Click on OK to return to the Save As dialog box.

In the File Name field, notice that the file name has changed to BOATS.BMP. HiJaak PRO selected the best format for use with Word for Windows 6.0--BMP.

7. In the Save As dialog box, click on the Options button.

You will see the BMP Raster Processing Options dialog box. This dialog box allows you to change the look of the converted file.

8. Click once one the Grayscale check box to select it. Click on OK to return to the Save As dialog box.

The converted file will be grayscale. Grayscale means that the image will contain shades of gray in steps ranging from black to white.

9. In the Save As dialog box, click on OK to convert BOATS.JPG to BOATS.BMP.

10. To view the converted image, open the file BOATS.BMP located in the C:\INSET\TUTORIAL subdirectory.

You can now use this Smuggler, OLE of Word for Windows' import facility to use the image in a Word for Windows document.

How to Capture and Object on the Windows Screen and Save it as a File
How to Capture an Object on the Windows Screen and Save it as a File

Learning HiJaak PRO

In this tutorial, you will set Windows Capture Options and then capture the HiJaak PRO File menu. You can use HiJaak PRO's capture feature to capture all or part of the screen of any application running under Windows or DOS. Once you have captured an image and saved it as file, you can incorporate the image into your documents. For example, if you were writing a user guide for a Windows application, you could take screen captures of the application's dialog boxes and menus to include in your manual.

Setting Windows Capture Options

1. From the HiJaak PRO Main menu, click once on the Capture menu to pull it down. Click on Windows Capture Options.

You will see the Windows Capture Options dialog box. This dialog box allows you to specify capture options including capture method, hotkeys and capture to location It also allows you to specify whether to show the cursor, Hide HiJaak PRO, prompt for capture options, place a border around the image, or scale the image to the HiJaak Window.

2. In the Method area of the dialog box, click once on the down arrow to pull down the Method list. Click on Window/Object.

The Method area of the dialog box allows you to select what elements of the Windows screen you want to capture. You can capture the entire screen, a window, object, or any rectangular area that you define. Selecting Window/Object will allow you to capture just the File menu without the rest of the screen.

3. In the Capture To area of the dialog box, make sure the HiJaak Window check box is selected. If it is not selected, click on it once to select it.

This selection will place a copy of the captured image in the HiJaak PRO Main window. Placing a copy of the image in the HiJaak PRO Main window allows you to make sure the screen capture looks the way you want it to before saving. If it does not, you can take it again.

4. Make sure the Hide HiJaak PRO check box is not selected. If it is selected, click on it once to deselect it.

Since you are taking a capture of the HiJaak PRO File menu, HiJaak PRO cannot be hidden; however, there are times when you would not want HiJaak PRO in the capture. For example, if you were writing a user guide that included screen captures of a new Windows application, you would probably want to hide HiJaak PRO from the captures.

5. Make sure the Prompt for Options check box is deselected. If it is selected, click on it once to deselect it.

Selecting Prompt for Options causes the Windows Capture Options dialog box to reappear when you signal to HiJaak PRO that you are ready to capture a screen. It is useful if you need to change some of your options or if you are capturing to a file and want to change the file name of the captured image. Since you are setting Windows Capture Options, and you have already named the file, there is no reason to see this dialog box again before capturing the screen.

6. Make sure the Border check box is selected. If it is not, click on it once to select it.

This selection will put a thin black border around the captured screen.

7. Note the key combination in the Hotkeys area. The default hotkeys are CTRL+SHIFT+C.

You will use these keys to start the screen capture.

8. Click on OK.

You have finished setting up HiJaak PRO to capture the screen, so you're ready to start the capture.

Capturing a Screen

HiJaak PRO is now set up to perform one capture. HiJaak PRO offers three ways to perform a capture. In this lesson you will learn the Hotkey method to capture the HiJaak PRO File menu.

1. Click once on the HiJaak PRO File menu to pull it down.

This is the portion of the screen that you will be capturing.

2. To begin the capture, press the CTRL+SHIFT+C keys at the same time.

Pressing these hotkeys tells HiJaak PRO that the screen is set up and you are ready to take the capture. When you press the hotkeys, you will hear a beep indicating that HiJaak PRO has started the screen capture. The cursor changes to a pointing hand.

3. Move the cursor over the File menu.

A dotted line surrounds File menu indicating that it is selected.

4. To capture the menu, click the mouse button. You will hear another beep indicating that the File menu has been captured.

You will see a copy of the captured screen in the HiJaak PRO Main window. If you are not pleased with the results of the capture, you can take it again. Before you retake the capture, you close the open image. To close the open image, pull down the File menu and click on Close. You will be prompted to save the capture, click on No to close the image without saving. The options that you set in the Windows Capture Options dialog box will be used as the defaults until you change them; therefore, you need only repeat the Capturing a Screen section of the tutorial to retake the capture. When you are pleased with the captured image, you can save the file.

Changing a Color

Notice that some of the options in the capture of the menu are disabled. The text of these disabled options is light gray. You can use HiJaak PRO's Change a Color feature to change the light gray to black.

1. Place the cursor over the word "Save" in the capture. Click the mouse button and drag a square over the word "Save."

As you drag, the cursor changes to a magnifying glass, indicating that HiJaak PRO will zoom in on the area you select. When you release the mouse button, the word "Save" fills the image window.

2. Click once the Color menu to pull it down and click on Change a Color.

The Change a Color option allows you to select a color in the image and change it to another color.

3. Move the cursor over the light gray color in the image. The cursor changes to an eye dropper icon. Click the mouse button to select the color.

You will see the Color dialog box. This dialog box allows you to specify the color to which you want to change the selected color.

4. In the Basic Colors palette, click on the black color square. Click on OK.

The black replaces the light gray in the image.

5. To return the view of the image to its original size, click once on the View menu to pull it down. Click on Zoom Out. From the Zoom Out submenu, click on Fit in Window.

These selections resize the view of the image to fill the entire image window.
