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
