3. Defining Graphic Images
Your graphic file can contain
• bitmaps (for detailed graphics)
• constant text
• lines
• boxes.
Images using Hexadecimal Representation or Run Length
Encoding are bitmap images. Refer to Chapter 2, "Creating the
Graphic Image" to map your graphic image.
When you have mapped your graphic image, you are ready to
define a graphic file. This file generates the graphic image that
you use in a format.
Graphic Header
Every graphic file must contain a Graphic Header. This record
is the first line you enter in a graphic file. It identifies the
graphic and provides important measurement and formatting
information.
Bitmap, constant text, line, and box fields follow the Graphic
Header, if you use them.
