4.4 Processing graphics
This section provides a brief overview of options and
methods for getting the graphics referenced in your DITA document into
an appropriate format.
If some graphics referenced by your document are in
a format that is not appropriate for the output type you select (see
§40.1
Choosing an appropriate graphics format), you have the following
options:
- Omit the graphics from the output.
- Recreate the graphics in a different
format.
- Convert the graphics to a different
format.

§40. Working with
graphics
Several graphics programs, such as the following, can
convert images from one format to another:
- Use a third-party graphics program
to alter or replace the graphics; save each using the same file name
as the original (referenced) or exported (embedded) graphic, but with
a different extension.
- RTF output. Indicate that you
want file names to be mapped, and specify both old and new file extensions
(without leading periods):
[Graphics]
FileNames = Map
[GraphFiles]
old_extension = new_extension
- HTML output. Specify the new
extension:
[Graphics]
GraphSuffix = new_extension
