SUMMARY
Once a graphic has been saved in the segmented-hypergraphic (.SHG) file format, the appearance of the graphic can no longer be edited.

MORE INFORMATION
The .SHG file format is not supported by any graphics editors, and therefore it is impossible to load a segmented hypergraphic into a graphics editor to alter the original image. To work around this problem, a copy of the original graphic must be archived before creating the segmented hypergraphic. If the display needs to be altered, then the archived graphic may be edited. To copy the hot spots to the edited graphic, two instances of the segmented hypergraphic (hot spot) editor, SHED.EXE, need to be opened. The first instance should contain the original .SHG file with all of the hot spots in place. The second instance should contain the edited graphic. The hot spots can be copied from the original .SHG file to the new graphic using the Copy and Paste commands available in the Hotspot Editor.
