Changing Initialization Files
Online manual
For example, the RTF filter client setting looks like this:
RTF=TextImport, RTF, RTF, FAPI, RTF, Rich Text Format (RTF) Import, filters\rtfimprt.dll, all, ^.rtf
To create a client, you need the Frame Developer’s Kit (FDK) for Windows. If you are installing an FDK client, follow
instructions provided with the client to add its startup information to the initialization file. For more detailed infor-
mation about [APIClients] settings, see the FDK Platform Guide for Windows.
You can also load API clients simply by placing them in the Plugins folder and then starting FrameMaker (see “FDK
clients” on page 12).
Dash patterns
The [DashPatterns] settings define the eight dash pattern choices that appear in the Dashed Line Options dialog
box. You can edit these settings to replace the standard choices with custom ones:
1=Dash, 8, 6
2=Hidden, 4
3=Longdash, 16, 10
4=Dot, 2, 4
5=Dash-Dot, 12, 6, 2, 6
6=Dash-Dot-Dot, 12, 6, 2, 6, 2, 6
7=Chain, 12, 6, 6, 6
8=Phantom, 20, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6
Each dash pattern contains a label that identifies the dash pattern in the Dashed Line Options dialog box and a
repeating series of dash and gap segment lengths. Dashes and gaps are measured in points. The following illustration
shows a dashed line and its segment description. The line is made up of a 12-point dash, a 6-point gap, a 6-point
dash, and another 6-point gap. This pattern repeats to draw a dashed line of any length.
The following setting describes the same line:
7=Chain, 12, 6, 6, 6
If a dash pattern setting contains an odd number of segment lengths, the last dash value is repeated for the final gap.
For example, the following setting describes a dash pattern with 4-point dashes and 4-point gaps:
2=Hidden, 4
The dash pattern label cannot contain spaces or punctuation marks.
vendor_id A four-character maximum string that identifies the vendor
display_name The name to display in dialog boxes when the user chooses the filter
description A string to describe the filter
path The pathname of the filter’s DLL file—can be an absolute path, or relative to the install
directory
mode Which mode of FrameMaker is valid for this filter—can be one of maker, structured, or all
This argument Specifies
Dashed line:
Dash segments: 12, 6, 6, 6
