Use this dialog box to add more complex exporting options to the images in your current window.

Export Border

Select this check box to include a black border on images you are exporting. This check box is checked by default. Clear this check box to export the image without a border.

Internal Handling for Transparent Vector Fills and Symbols

Select this check box to have MapInfo Pro handle transparent fill patterns and bitmaps for vector images when printing or exporting. This check box is checked by default. Clear this check box to let the printer or Windows export functions handle this.

Use ROP Method to Display Transparent Raster

Use this option if the output format is a metafile (EMF or WMF). Using the ROP method allows any underlying data to be rendered in the original form. For example, vector data that is under transparent pixels is not rasterized. In metafiles, using ROP method does not draw any data in the areas of the raster pixels, allowing the background to be truly transparent.

Export Raster In True Color When Possible

Select this check box to display your 24-bit raster or grid file images in true color (make sure your display settings are set to greater than 256 colors). Clear this check box to display images using 256 colors. This box is checked by default.

Dither Method

Select this check box when it is necessary to convert a 24 image to 256 colors, use either halftone or error diffusion. This option is used when printing raster and grid images. Dithering occurs if Export Raster In True Color When Possible is disabled or if the printer color depth is 256 colors or less.

Anti-Aliasing Options

Use these options to identify the method of anti-aliasing (smoothing) you want to perform on this exported window.

Filter

Choose a filter for the smoothing you want to use. Select from these filters:

Vertically and Horizontally (Smooths the image vertically and horizontally)

All Directions (1) (Smooths the image in all directions)

All Directions (2) (Smooths the image in all directions using a different algorithm)

Diagonally (Smooths the image diagonally)

Horizontally (Smooths the image horizontally)

Vertically (Smooths the image vertically)

Mask Size

Choose the pixel size of the mask you want MapInfo Pro to use in this field. For example, to create a 3x3 pixel mask value, you would enter a 3 in this field. This would limit the amount of change in the color of the pixels to the three pixels around the basic pixel.

Threshold

Select a threshold value to indicate which pixels to smooth. Colors are 0 for black and 255 for white (in an 8 bit image). Numeric values for larger images are higher, but black is always 0. Entering a low number changes the look of your map by smoothing the darker colors and the lighter colors. Choosing a higher number changes the way the lighter colors display.
