Working with Graphics and Animation

Importing a picture or animation

You’ll have no difficulty importing such items as metafile clipart,

bitmap photos, or animated GIFs. WebPlus can handle all the standard

formats. After being imported, each image is stored in the WebPlus

publication until you publish the site, at which time it’s exported using

one of the standard bitmap formats (GIF or JPG) that Web browsers

recognize. Let’s try importing.

Y Click the

,PSRUW3LFWXUH button on the left toolbar.

Y Using the file selection dialog, open P

HOTO

BMP

in the

ERIF

/WP70/S

/ folder.

Y Now you have two choices. You can either drag out a box region

on the page to set the size of the imported picture, or simply click

to insert the picture at a default size. Pick either one. The sample

picture (of a lion) will appear, and you can always resize it later by

dragging its handles.

By the way, the WebPlus 7.0 Design CD-ROM includes a bonus

collection of 20,000 WebArt images, including arrows, bullets/buttons,

icons, lines, and animations as well as pictorial Web graphics. You can

peruse the collection using your Web browser, then drag and drop

images directly into WebPlus. To choose animations, use ,QVHUW:HE

online help index.
