Pre-rendering styled text for PDF export will preserve the appearance of the text at the expense of resolution. This may result in the loss of style or formatting but produces a PDF that is more likely to render completely.

"More compatible PDF Export" uses an alternative method of drawing styled text when exporting a PDF. This library may have trouble with exporting styled text areas, resulting in a PDF that does not fully render. PDF export uses the open source gnujpdf library. The formats available are determined by those supported by the operating system. The File->Export->Image File command saves the plot as a graphic file in one of a number of formats. The paths to the application and user library folders can be set to locations other than the defaults. The Rows in Key Block option determines how the symbols are arranged when the key block is generated. (You can use the Ungroup command the separate a generated key block into its individual components). This key block consists of rows of symbols that have been used in the plot that are labeled and grouped together. The Format->Insert->Key Block command adds an automatically generated key block to the plot. However, it is also possible to store graphics in PNG format which will cause bigger file sizes but will possibly result in better quality reproduction. The default JPEG format takes up less space. Imported graphics are stored in one of two formats. The Set stroke color of info fields option will set the color of all similar info fields when the color of a single field is changed.ĭisable Automatic Unit Number Display inhibits the default action that displays the unit number field of a symbol when its value is set by the auto-number function. It is also possible to use color to help define their meaning.

Info fields displayed on the plot are required to have a common font and style based on the field they represent. (Colors can be temporarily turned off for printing using the "Draw Symbols in B&W" command from the View menu.) However, the "Automatic" options also allow you to set the stroke color or to turn automatic coloring off. By default automatic coloring sets a symbol's fill color. This color library can be used to automatically set the color of symbols when you enter a "gel" name. LXFree for Java has a library of "gel" colors.
#LXFREE PDF IMPORT PRO#
Access to Pro Features may require a paid license in future versions. The Pro Features included in this version will only be available while it is being actively tested.

Pro Features are considered to be "beta" and may not work completely or correctly.

LXFree for Java Pro Features are enhanced functions that are only available for testing at the present time. Or, you can manually check for a newer version by clicking the Check Now button. LXFree for Java can automatically check for newer released versions. However, if you hold down the alt key while using the wheel, the function will change to zooming. Without this option, the wheel is used to scroll the window vertically. Selecting Mouse Wheel Always Zooms causes this to be the function of the wheel. LXFree for Java allows you to use the scroll wheel of the mouse to zoom the plot in and out. The Linux version of LXFree for Java stores user options in the user's home folder which contains a ".lxseries4linux" folder (the dot before the name means that it is hidden on Linux).
#LXFREE PDF IMPORT WINDOWS#
The Windows version of LXFree for Java stores user options in a folder called "LXSeries4Windows" that is found in the user's "Documents and Settings\ UserName\Application Data" folder (which is usually hidden). This folder is also where the user library files are usually located. The Options window contains controls that set user preferences for LXFree for Java.
