FrameVector Facet Format
FrameVector is a format for vector graphics that is recognized by FrameMaker products on all platforms.
The specification of the FrameVector format is documented in this appendix.
Imported graphics can contain graphic data in FrameVector format. This data is called the FrameVector
facet of the graphic. FrameMaker products can use this facet to display and print the graphic. For more
information about facets, see , "Facet Formats for Graphics."
In a MIF file, the FrameVector facet is contained in the statement. For more information about the
statement, see "ImportObject statement" on page 120.
Specification of a FrameVector facet
A FrameVector facet begins with the following facet name, facet data type, and version number lines:

In the version number line, XXX is a three-character string identifying the version of the FrameMaker

in FrameMaker 5.0.
If the imported graphic is stored in a separate file, the file must include the header string <MakerVec-
torXXX>.
