Actually, WP can use most graphic files without converting them to WPG
format. But, the graphcnv program, documented completely in TFM, can
be used to create WPG files. Graphics formats currently converted by
graphcnv are:
o Autocad .DXF
o Computer Graphics Metafiles (CGM)
o Dr. Halo
o Encapsulated Postscript
o GEM .IMG
o Hewlett Packard plotter files (HPGL)
o Lotus .PIC
o Macintosh paint
o PC paint and PC paint plus
o PC Paintbrush and Publishers Paintbrush .PCX
o TIFF format (commonly used by image scanners)
Look under GRAPHCNV.EXE in the index for more details.
