375.0. "Multiple figure_files for a single figure" by MRED::BRACE () Fri Sep 28 1990 14:00

    I am running into a problem with figures that contain multiple figure
    files. The files were created on Auto-Trol and converted to .bin
    files.
    
    What is happening is that if there are three files for one figure,
    the bottom of the first and second files are cut off (the bottom
    of the figures are missing on the screen).
    
    Does anyone know a fix for this?

    Please send pointers to your 3 .bin files and a small file that
    reproduces your <figure_file> coding for these files. What version
    of DOCUMENT are you using? Are you getting any error messages during
    processing?

375.2Pointer for the filesMRED::BRACEFri Sep 28 1990 18:1310
    I am using DOCUMENT V1.2-B, and no, there weren't any errors except
    a few line too longs and I don't know if they applied to these pages.
    
    You can copy the files from MRED::$1$DUA2:[MRO$PUBLIC]
    
    There are 3 .bin files and a Test.sdml file.
    
    Thank you very much for looking into this

375.3use correct number of picas for screenOLD::UTTDon't worry, be crabby.Mon Oct 01 1990 13:5413
    The problem is that you are using the same pica measurements for both
    the .bin and .ps figures, but the .bin figures are larger. In the
    files I copied, the 2nd figure (mr_1686_89.bin) was being overwritten
    by the 3rd figure (mr_1687_89.bin); the first (mr_1618_89.bin) was
    fine. 
    
    For the 2nd .bin file, you are using a measure of 40 picas, but
    on screen, the figure measures almost 70 picas. I changed the 
    <figure_file> argument to 70 and all 3 figures displayed correctly.
    
    Let me know if you have any more problems.
