Preferred Dimensions
Specify the dimensions for the images. Select one of the following:
•
Scale
Scale images as a percentage of the existing size. The aspect ratio of the images is maintained.
•
Width and Height
Specify the absolute image size as Height and Width, in points. Select Maintain Aspect Ratio to
ensure that the images are not skewed.
Note:
To convert the images in FrameMaker documents to the actual dimensions of the images, specify the height and
width as 0pt. The <img> tag for such images in the generated HTML does not have the height and width values. This
conversion is irrespective of the dimensions of the anchored frames that contained the images.
•
Maximum Dimensions
Set the maximum dimensions for images in online format. Images that exceed the
maximum dimensions you specify are automatically scaled down to fit the maximum size you specify. If you scale the
images and specify an aspect ratio, RoboHelp scales the images within the maximum dimensions specified and
maintains the aspect ratio.
Use this option to avoid large images causing the browser window to scroll horizontally or vertically. For example, if
you specify the window size to be 800 x 600 pixels, you can specify the maximum dimensions to be 640 x 480, so that
the images do not exceed the window size.
Margins
Set the margins for the images:
•
Set equal margins on all sides by setting the margin in All Sides.
•
To set margins on individual sides, set the margins on each side.
Borders
Set a border for the images:
•
To set a uniform border on all sides, select All from the Border pop-up menu. Alternatively, you can specify the side
on which you want the border to appear from the pop-up menu.
•
To set the border style, select the style from the Style pop-up menu.
•
To set the border color, select the color from the Color pop-up menu.
•
To set the border width, select it in, in points, from the Width menu.
Format
Define the image format, color depth, and quality settings for the web-supported images that are converted
from the images in the FrameMaker document:
•
As Is
Select this option for retaining the images in the current web-supported format.
•
JPG
Select this option for multicolor images such as screenshots or photographs. JPG format with a high color
depth provides the best online quality, but increases the file size. Select this option for photographs.
•
GIF
Select this option if the FrameMaker document contains only line art, such as schematic diagrams.
•
BMP
Select this option for screenshots and other images. BMP files provide good quality at an increased file size.
•
PNG
Select this option for screenshots.
JPEG Quality
Set the quality percentage for JPG images.
Color Bit Depth
Set the color bit depth for bitmap images. JPG and PNG formats can have either 8- or 24-bit color
depth, while BMP images can be have color bit depths of 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32. GIF images can have only 8-bit color
depth.
Grayscale
Select this option if you want monochrome images.
