A
QuarkVista
p
reset file
i
s a file that contains a list of one or more QuarkVista
picture effects and instructions for applying those effects. You can use QuarkVista
XTensions software to apply and remove preset files containing QuarkVista
effects to pictures in picture boxes before rendering a project.
QuarkVista effects work only with projects that were last saved in
QuarkXPress 6.0 or later.
CREATING PRESET FILES
To create a preset file, open a project in a copy of QuarkXPress that is running
QuarkVista XTensions software, select a picture box that contains a picture,
apply effects to the picture, and then click the
Save Preset button on the
Picture Effects palette. The effects you apply are saved in a preset (.vpf) file
at the location you indicate. (By default, preset files are stored in the location
specified in the
Picture Effects pane of the Preferences dialog box.)
To use preset files in QuarkXPress Server, copy them to the folder indicated by
the
Picture Effects Presets field in the Picture Effects pane of the QuarkXPress
Server Preferences
dialog box (QuarkXPress Server menu).
USING QUARKVISTA XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
To indicate which preset file should be applied, use the applyvistaeffect
parameter. To indicate which picture box the preset file should be applied to,
use the
vistabox parameter. The URL syntax is as follows:
http:// server:port/namespace/path/projectname ?applyvistaeffect=
preset file name >&vistabox= picture box name
For example, consider the following URL:
http://QXPServer7:8080/abc.qxp?applyvistaeffect=
color.vpf&vistabox=pb2
In this example, color.vpf is the name of the preset file containing the
QuarkVista effects, and
pb2 is the name of the box to which the preset file
is
applied.
You can apply the same preset file to multiple pictures using a single URL.
For example, consider the following URL:
http://QXPServer7:8080/abc.qxp?applyvistaeffect=
color.vpf&vistabox=p1,p2,p3
