Default translation
FrameMaker has well-defined representations for graphics and equations. They are given
element structure as graphic elements and equation elements. You can create a graphic in
an external tool and then import it into FrameMaker, you can use the software's tools to
create the graphic, or you can combine methods. Whatever the method, the software puts
the graphic into an anchored frame in the document. For equations, you create an equation
using the software's equations tools. FrameMaker treats the equation as a single graphic
object inside an anchored frame and exports this anchored frame to markup.
Supported graphic file formats
FrameMaker supports multiple graphic file formats for graphic objects created in an external
tool, such as the QuickDraw PICT (PICT) format or the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM)
format. If you have a document with a graphic in a file format that the software doesn't
support, you can supply your own graphic filter to allow the graphic to be processed. You
can have such a document regardless of whether you are starting from markup or from
FrameMaker.
