Interconnectivity Examples
The Converters application in DesignPro Manager converts image file formats such as
IMG (Xerox image), LGO (Xerox logo), LP3 (Elixir Legacy Graphic), BMP, JPEG, JPE,
JPG, PCX, and TIFF to Elixir format for use in DesignPro Graphics Editor.
The Converters application also converts a Xerox font to Elixir format, which you can
import for placement in an image using Graphics Editor.
Using DesignPro Graphics Editor, you can create and edit fonts, and load them directly by
tiling graphics into equal rectangles, each corresponding to a font character. Fonts created
in Graphics Editor can also be imported and edited in the DesignPro Font Editor, and then
converted to the Xerox format and printed on any Xerox printer.
Images created in Graphics Editor can then be used with DesignPro Form Editor to
enhance form appearance.

If an area is already filled, you can replace the fill with another pattern or color
only if the area is defined by a border color different from the fill color or
pattern. For example, if you have a shape with a color border and black and white
pattern fill, you can replace the black and white pattern with another black and
white pattern, solid black, or solid white. However, if the shape border is black or
white, you cannot replace the black and white pattern because the border color
is the same as the pattern color.
