AnetHelpTool supports the following graphical formats:
bitmap (with .bmp extension)
metafile (.wmf)
hypergraphic (.shg)
multiple resolution bitmap (.mrb)
You can include graphical images in your help
file using " Insert
Object" from the Edit menu. In
order to insert graphical object, place the cursor where you want
the graphic to appear and select " Insert Object"
or click on
from the toolbar. In the Insert
Object dialog box enter the graphic's
file name, select the method for including graphic and press
"OK".
There are two methods for including graphics in a Help file:
In this case you can see the graphic in the topic text, but you cannot wrap text around the graphic (it is treated the same as a character).
Create graphic reference in topic text.
In this case, in the resulting .rtf file, the inserted picture will be replaced with a string of type:
{command filename}
where command can be one of the following values:
bmc - Aligns graphic as a character.
bml - Aligns the graphic at the left margin of text; text wraps along the graphic's right edge.
bmr - Aligns the graphic at the right margin of text; text wraps along the graphic's left edge.
The filename should include only file name, not the file's full path.
When you use referenced graphics you have the widest range of options for displaying text and pictures. You can treat graphic as a character or wrap text around the graphic's left or right edge. You can include hypergraphics (created with the Hotspot Editor) only by reference. Including the same graphic by reference in several places in your topic file adds only one copy of graphic in the compiled Help file. For correct compilation of referenced graphics you should enter location of graphics files in Project Option dialog box.
Note:
AnetHelpTool allows user to insert referenced bitmaps and metafiles as graphics, but it cannot display text wrapping around picture if you insert it as bml or bmr reference.
Hypergraphics and multiple resolution bitmap are inserted as reference string.
This the single non- WYSIWYG AnetHelpTool feature.
