Setting Your Output Setting Preferences
MapInfo Professional has output preferences that control raster and grid file color settings for on-screen
display, printed output, and file export settings. You can also specify how you want to handle transparency
in vector and raster files in both your printed output and exported files. Other printer settings enable you
to specify an output method, map scaling, and whether to print a border around a Map window.
These output preferences become the default settings in MapInfo Professional. These preferences are
the default settings in the Advanced Printing dialog box for example. You can override the default
settings by changing them, in the Advanced Printing dialog box for example, and then saving your map
in a workspace.
You can get additional printer advice in the MapInfo Professional Printing Guide, which is located
in the Documentation subfolder of your installation directory.
Note:
To set output preferences: On the Options menu, point to Preferences and click Output Settings to
open the Output Preferences dialog box.
There are several tabs of preferences:
•
- set the on-screen display options for raster or grid files.
•
- set the printing options for Map windows, classic Layout windows, Layout Designer
windows, and all other output file types. (You can reset these preferences by overriding them for your
map.)
•
- set the export options for Map windows, classic Layout windows, Layout Designer
windows, and all other output file types. (You can reset these preferences by overriding them for your
map.)
