Re: Dia + OO

["Robert Campbell" <rob campbell visto com>]

I'm going to reply to my own post before it even shows up on the list.  I just opened a MS Word document that contains embedded EPS with OpenOffice, and the image was visible.  So the problem may be with the EPS output that Dia is producing.  Maybe the library that Dia is using for this purpose has an option for creating previews that could be turned on.  If not, the interested party ought to put a request into that library's maintainers.

When creating an EPS file, you typically have the option of embedding a preview.  This preview is what a word processor or other program displays on the screen.  Even in MS Word, if the preview is not included in the EPS file, the image will not appear when the document is edited (presumably, it will print).  So it sounds as though:

(1) Dia isn't including a preview in the EPS files that it creates.  It probably should if it isn't.
(2) OpenOffice isn't taking advantage of the preview, if it is there.  It should.
(3) Or both.

Yes but I just did not know OO is able to print images which it is not
able to show. I lived in WYSIWYG world for too long. So when I see
nothing instead of my image I just think OO is not able to understand
it:)

I look forward to get the next version of OO for this...

Thanks for comments,
