The Graphics converter allows you to take existing Xerox centralized graphic files
(.IMG’s) and bring them into Paris. From these files Paris creates an .LPG which
is stored in the /Paris/GRF directory.

Paris is also able to take in the Xerox .LGO logo files. Xerox .LGO’s are graphics,
normally small in size, stored in a font format. As many early Xerox printers did
not have the Graphics Handling Option (GHO) required to handle .IMG’s, the
LGO files were stored in a font format.

 

Because LGO files are really fonts, during conversion the Paris font conversion
dialogue is displayed. (Refer to the section ‘Converting Fonts’ on page 31 for
details).

Once in the Paris internal format these graphics can be used on any of the Paris
supported PCL and Postscript printers.

There are some differences in the way Xerox Metacode printers and Paris handle
.IMG graphics. These involve the orientation of the graphic on the page.

Resources used in Paris do not have an orientation but are considered either
upright or rotated. For example, the same font can be used on a portrait or
landscape page.

Graphics are similar and normally would have an upright orientation that applies
equally to both portrait and landscape modes. This is different to Metacode
printers where graphics have an orientation, for example the same graphic can be
stored as two different files, one portrait, the other landscape.

Because of the way the scan lines flow on a Metacode printer the landscape
version of the graphic is naturally upright to Paris, portrait is not. As a result, when
importing a portrait IMG into Paris, you normally need to have the rotate option
activated so the resulting Paris graphic will appear upright.
