To save a selection or an entire document as a graphics
image, choose the File Save Graphics File... command. You can
save files in any of three formats: Portable Network Graphics
(PNG), Enhanced Metafile (EMF), or Placeable Metafile (WMF).
If one or more symbols is selected, a Save Selection checkbox
is available in the dialog. If you check this box, on the
material that is selected will be saved. Otherwise the entire
document is saved as a graphics image.
A selection or an entire document may be saved as a Web
Page in one of three formats:
- Raster image with an HTML wrapper.
This is the most universally standard format. An image of
the selection or document is saved as a PNG (Portable
Network Graphics) file, which is recognized by all modern
browsers. Also a small HTML file is saved that references
the PNG file as an image. Both of these files have the same
name, with extensions of .png and .htm respectively, and
must be located in the same directory on the server.
- VML format.
VML (Vector Markup Language) is an XML application that
runs on Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 5.5 and
later). The image is represented as a sequence of vector
commands. Typical documents are shorter, and load faster in
this format. However, this format is not supported by other
browsers. A single file is generated with an extension of
.htm. Rotated text, and pictures in symbols are not
supported in this format.
- SVG format.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an international standard
XML application that is defined by W3C. Most commercial
browsers required an add-in module to display SVG
documents. These modules are available free from third
parties. See the Novagraph web site (www.novagraph.com) for
information on getting an SVG module. Like VML, SVG is a
vector graphics language, and generally results in a
smaller document than the raster image in format 1. A
single file is generated with an extension of .svg.
To save a web page. Choose the File Save Web Page...
command. A dialog will appear, allowing you to choose from
one of the above formats. Choose a format, and then proceed
to the Save dialog to name and save the file.
