SUMMARY
The Word for Windows version 2.0 WordPerfect WPG graphics import filter, WPGIMP.FLT, supports WPG graphic images from all versions of DrawPerfect through version 1.1. This filter file is also used in conjunction with the WordPerfect text converter when converting documents containing graphics from WordPerfect 5.0 or 5.1 to Word for Windows.

Installation
The Word for Windows WordPerfect WPG graphics filter should be placed in the following location:

"\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT" If the filters are kept elsewhere (for example, C:\POWERPNT or C:\WINWORD), delete the older filters and add entries to WIN.INI describing each new filter in a section called [MS Graphics Import Filters].

For example, the WIN.INI may include an entry similar to the following:

  [MS Graphics Import Filters] DrawPerfect(.WPG)=C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\WPGIMP.FLT,WPG Note: Full pathnames to the filter executable files must be included.

Associated Files
The following associated support files must be installed in the same directory as the WPGIMP.FLT filter or the filter will not operate:

WPGIMP.FLT

IMWPG.DLL

CGI_GDI.DLL

Features
The WPG filter has an interactive dialog box with several user- specified options. However, this dialog box will not appear when inserting graphics via the Insert Picture command. Instead, the last settings specified are used. The dialog box appears when importing pictures via the Microsoft Draw Import Picture command. Furthermore, the dialog box only appears when Microsoft Draw 1.x is luanched from Word 2.x. It will not appear when Draw is launched from a later version of Word, including Word 6.x and 7.0.

Options for this dialog box are defined below.

Color Translation
  Normal         This is the most useful and most commonly used setting. Colors are portrayed as expected, as they appeared in the source application.

Gray Scale    Converts colors to shades of gray.

Inverse Gray  Converts colors to shades of gray of opposite Scale         intensity.

Check Boxes
  Retain         Draws a filled rectangle of the background color Background    behind the image. Otherwise, the image background will be transparent.

Emulate Line  Draws patterned lines using separate filled polygons Styles        for best image fidelity. Note: When any of the color mode options or check boxes are changed, the changes are written to the CGI_GDI.INI file in the Windows directory. These are the settings that will be used the next time you import a WPG graphic via Microsoft Draw or via the Insert Picture command. In addition, because the CGI_GDI.INI is also used by the DXF and DRW import filters, a change to the settings for one filter affects the other filters.

The DrawPerfect WPG filter only supports bitmap rotation at 90-degree increments.
