Printing/Exporting Translucent Raster Images
When printing or exporting a translucent raster image, take advantage of Advanced options.
To print a translucent raster image:
1. Do one of the following:
• On the File menu, click Print
• On the File menu, click Save Window As
2. Click Advanced and choose from the following settings according to your printing and exporting
requirements.
• Print/Export Border - Select to include the black rectangle border when exporting.
• Internal Handling for Transparent Vector Fills and Symbols - Select to allow MapInfo
Professional to perform special handling when exporting transparent fill patterns or transparent
bitmap symbols. If unchecked, the process is handled by Windows.
• Use ROP Method to Display Transparent Raster - Use this option to print the raster image as
a metafile (EMF or WMF). Using the ROP method allows any underlying data to be rendered in
the original form. Select this check box to allow the internal ROP (Raster Overlay by Pixel) to
manage the transparent pixels for the raster.
Since the ROP Method is largely a display method, not all printers and plotters can use it. We
recommend that you experiment with this setting until you get the results you want when printing
raster images. This check box is cleared by default.
• Print/Export Raster in True Color When Possible - Select this check box to print your 24-bit
raster images in true color. Make sure your printer settings are greater than 256 colors. This check
box is selected by default.
3. When you have completed these selections and returned to the Print dialog box, click OK to begin
printing.
