1.0	Description of Program
This Release Notice describes the Art Designer version 1.0.  This section and the sections that follow provide a description of the product, contents of the Distribution Diskette, installation procedures, and other information pertinent to this release of Art Designer.
Art Designer is a flexible graphics package for the non artist in the office.  Its iconbased interface allows users to quickly 'point and pick' each icon with the mouse.  The Art Designer creates and combines free form drawings, text, and business charts generated from spreadsheet data using Extended Multiplan.  These pictures can then be integrated into a document using Convergent's Document Designer.
Instructions on how to use the Art Designer are given in the Getting Started with Drawings Manual and the Art Designer Reference Manual.
{2.0	Changes from Prior Version
The Art Designer is a new product therefore there are no changes from a prior version.}
3.0	Contents of Distribution Diskette
The Art Designer Distribution Diskettes are your master copies, and have been shipped writeprotected.  They should not be writeenabled, nor should they be used as working copies.
This product requires CTOS 9.6 or higher and Mouse Services 1.0 or higher to function correctly.  If you have not yet installed these at such a revision level, do so before installing the Art Designer.  If you use the Context Manager, you should install Context Manager 2.2 or higher prior to installing Art Designer.
There are 3 distribution diskettes supplied for the Art Designer.

{4.5	Document DesignerMultiplan Recognition
If you plan to use Art Designer with Document Designer, Extended Multiplan and Context Manager, the Context Manager configuration file used must contain a command for Art Designer with the new fields :DDObjectEdited:257 and :XMpGraphics:1.  If Context Manager version 2.2 has been installed, the appropriate Context Manager configuration file can be easily updated to allow Art Designer to be invoked from the Document Designer or Extended Multiplan.  Insert Art Designer Distribution diskette 2 into drive [f0] and issue the following submit command:
Command    Submit    RETURN
Submit
  File list     [f0]<Sys>ArtCmInstall.sub  RETURN
  [Parameters]  [Sys]<Sys>CmConfig.sys     GO
  ...
When using Document Designer and Extended Multiplan without Context Manager, the chaining mode of communication is supported.  For correct functioning of Art Designer in this environment, the file [Sys]<Sys>DDConfig.sys is required.  This file must include an entry for Art Designer as follows:
:CommandName:Art Designer
:RunFileName:[Sys]<Sys>ArtDesigner.run
:DDObjectEdited:257
:XMpGraphics:1}
{5.0	Required Files

{When using a plotter, the 'Comm Config File' should be used when going directly to the plotter and the 'Printer Config File' should be used when spooling to the plotter.  The designations for printer type are described later in this section.}
{The file Sys.printers is now used by both Multiplan and the Art Designer to describe the printer and plotter configuration for a system.  The new format for this file is as follows:
Name1:Spec1[,Spec1a]:TextType:GraphicsType RETURN
Name2:Spec2[,Spec2a]:TextType:GraphicsType RETURN}
{The name field is a nickname or alias for the printer.  This can be any character or string such as 'Spool' or 'Printer A', etc.  This field is used by the Art Designer or Multiplan when specifying a printer or plotter.}
{The specification is a device specification.  If the device is to be connected directly (rather than spooled locally or through a master workstation), the specification is a configuration file (i.e., [COMM]B[Sys]<Sys>PlotterConfig.sys).  If the device is a spooled device, then the specification will be a queue name such as [SPL].  Either or both kinds of specifications may be defined for each printer or plotter.  The Art Designer will determine whether the output device is installed as a spooled device (and if so, spool to it) or local device (and if so, print or plot directly to it).}
{Text type is used by Multiplan to determine the type of text printer; that is, to differentiate a printer used to produce draft copy (such as a Centronix) from one used to produce real formatted output (such as a Diablo).  For a plotter which has no text capabilities, this field must be blank to indicate to Multiplan that this device is unsuitable for printing.}
{Graphics type is used by the Art Designer to determine the type of graphics formatting information that must be sent to the output device.  This field is ignored by Multiplan.  For a Diablo or Centronix, this field is blank.  For a device such as a Printronix MVP or Anadex 9620 (which has both text and graphics capabilities), there can be entries for both text type and graphics type.}
{The possible entries for graphics type are as follows:

	HP7470A for the HP7470A 2 pen plotter.
	HP7220C for the HP7220C 8 pen plotter.
	Strobe for the Strobe Model 100 1 pen plotter.
	Anadex for the Anadex 9620 dot matrix printer.
	Printronix for the Printronix MVP dot matrix 
		printer.
	HP7475A for the HP7475A 6 pen plotter.
	HP7220T for the HP7220T 8 pen plotter.
	HP7220C for the Gould DS10 plotter.
	Envision for the Envision 420 printer.
	Prism for the IDS Prism printer.
	Oki for the Okidata Microline 93 printer.
	Prism for the Dataproducts SPG8050 printer.
	8010 for the Dataproducts SPG8010 printer.}
{The following examples illustrate how to customize your own Sys.printers file.
If you are using the HP7470A plotter and are connecting directly to Channel B of your system without using the Spooler, you should add the following entry to your Sys.printers file:
HP2Pen:[COMM]B[Sys]<Sys>PlotterConfig.sys:     	:HP7470A
This adds an entry for a plotter whose nickname is HP2Pen, uses the configuration file PlotterConfig.sys, is connected through Channel B, and is of type HP7470A.}
{If you want to use the same environment as described above but may sometimes be spooling, the following entry must be added to Sys.printers instead of the one described above:
HP2Pen:[COMM]B[Sys]<Sys>PlotterConfig.sys,     	[HP7470A]: :HP7470A
This entry is the same as the previous one except that the queue name HP7470A has been added.  In this case, when specifying HP2Pen to the Art Designer, it will see if the spooler is installed.  If it is not, the output will be sent directly through Channel B using the file [Sys]<Sys>PlotterConfig.sys.  If the Spooler is installed and that queue is installed, Art Designer will spool the output to that queue.  If the Spooler is installed and that queue is not installed, the output will be sent directly through Channel B using the file [Sys]<Sys>PlotterConfig.sys.}
{If the spooler is to be used with the Art Designer for spooling to plotters, then the spooler must be installed with a spooler configuration file other than the default.  This configuration file must specify the queue name to be used for the plotter, its matching printer configuration file, and its channel.  In addition, the queue.index file must be modified to include this new queue, the system must be rebooted, and the Queue Manager and Spooler must be installed.}
{The spooler configuration file which must be specified for this example should have an entry for Channel B as follows:
BHP7470AHP7470A[Sys]<Sys>HPPlotterConfig.sys64n
where
	B specifies the channel;
	HP7470A is the printer name;
	HP7470A is the queue name; and
	[Sys]<Sys>HPPlotterConfig.sys is the printer 
	               configuration file.}
{The following lines would also be added to the queue.index file:

HP7470A[Sys]<Sys>HP7470A.Queue11
HP7470AControl[Sys]<Sys>HP7470AControl.Queue11
Where HP7470A and HP7470AControl are the names of the print queues; [Sys]<Sys>HP7470A.Queue and [Sys]<Sys>HP7470AControl.Queue are the file specifications for the print queues; 1 is the number of sectors per entry; and 1 specifies spooler queue.  (See the Executive Manual, Spooled Printing section for more information.)
The above configuration can be done in the same way for channel A by using 'A' in place of 'B' where channel references are made.}
{If you are using the Printronix MVP dot matrix printer and are connecting it directly to the parallel port on your system without using the Spooler, you should add the following entry to your Sys.printers file:

MVP:[LPT]  : Draft : Printronix

This adds an entry for a printer whose nickname is MVP, uses the default line printer configuration file, is connected through the parallel port, has draft output for text, and is a graphics type Printronix.
If you want to use the same environment as described above but may sometimes be spooling, the following entry must be added to Sys.printers instead of the one described above:

MVP:[LPT], [SPL] : Draft : Printronix

This entry is the same as the previous one except that the queue name SPL has been added.  In this case, when specifying MVP to the Art Designer, it will see if the spooler is installed.  If it is not, the output will be sent directly through Channel B using the file [Sys]<Sys>LPTConfig.sys.  If the Spooler is installed and that queue is installed, Art Designer will spool the output to that queue.  If the Spooler is installed and that queue is not installed, the output will be sent directly through Channel B using [Sys]<Sys>LPTConfig.sys.}
{When spooling to either the Printronix or Anadex from the Art Designer, the standard parallel port line printer configuration and spooler files may be used.}
{While the default file specification for this configuration file is [Sys]<Sys>Sys.printers, another file may be specified.  This is done by adding a line to the user configuration file (using the keyword SysPrinters) as follows:
:SysPrinters:NewSpecification
where NewSpecification is the alternative file specification.}
{Special Note:  When using the Printronix MVP in graphics mode, it should be set to mode 1.  See the Printronix MVP manual for instructions on how to do this.}
{In addition to the devices listed above, Art Designer 1.0 will also provide hardcopy on the Imagen laser printer.  The installation of the Generic Print System and the Imagen printer driver is required.  See the documentation provided with the Generic Print System.}
{10.3	The Imagen Laser Printer
Included on the Art Designer Distribution Diskette 1 is a new Imagen driver which provides opaque support.  This means that pictures that have overlapping area fills will appear the same on both the screen and the Imagen if you use this new driver.  Previous Imagen drivers will cause the filled areas to be see through.  Refer to the documentation for the Generic Print System for installation of this driver.}
You may discover that pictures printed from Art Designer may sometimes break up.  Breaking up means that pieces of lines are printed elsewhere on the page (or not at all).  Usually, the Imagen does not generate an entire pagebitmap before it begins printing a page    rather it converts the page's vectors into raster lines only for the band of the page that is currently being printed.  This saves a lot of memory, and usually speeds printing.  But sometimes there are just too many vectors for the Imagen processor to convert on the fly.  And by the time that the vectors have been converted to raster lines, the page is well beyond where the rasters were meant to go.  So portions of the picture appear broken up.
Imagen has provided some relief from this problem    it is called the preRasterization option.  When this option is selected, an entire (compressed) pagebitmap is constructed before the page is printed, so no pieces of vectors get misplaced.  The disadvantages of using this option are:  1) printing is a bit slower;  2) the maximum number of pages that can be reversed (to get the pages to come out in the correct order) is drastically reduced;  and 3) more memory is generally required to print a full page of text.  Where we have usually encountered rasterization problems is with the text in pictures from graphics applications.  If this text, drawn by an application such as Art Designer, is in Complex or Gothic font, Imagen's normal rasterization on the fly cannot handle it, and the picture breaks up.  PreRasterization is then needed.  So, if you are going to be printing such documents, the Imagen printer should be configured for preRasterization.
For the IP2 run the configurator program, and add the phrase prerasterization on to the default jobcontrol statement.
For the IP3 PreRasterization is selected by setting configuration option 25 to 1.  The IP3 (because of its reduced prcessing power and speed) should generally be configured with preRasterization and maximum memory.

Line types selected in the Art Designer appear not as dotted, dashed lines shown on the screen, but as different line widths on the Imagen.  You can use this to good advantage.

Error 7722:		ercCantWindowMore

Already zoomed in as far as possible.
{Error 12002:	ercOnlyOneGraphicsContextAllowed
	The Context Manager will only allow one graphics context on IWS or AWS graphics workstations.}
{Error 12098:	ercParentDied
	The Document Designer was terminated before Art Designer transferred back the object being edited.}
{13.0	Known Errors and Omissions
A.	In Pie and Bar charts:  when graphing only one entry with a zero value, Art Designer will begin to graph the data but will return to Multiplan.}
B.	Art Designer will give error 219 when the SignOn user file is password protected.
C.	Art Designer has a new halftone and opague fill patterns and opaque line type that will not show when pictures are transferred to Document Designer 1.0.  These pictures will print correctly however if using the new Imagen driver.
D.	This release of Art Designer will only accept  Art Designer or Chart Designer pictures, and charts made by the Business Graphics Package.  Picture files produced by other programs or text only pictures will not be accepted.
E.	Charts produced by the Business Graphics Package and brought into Art Designer may exhibit some labels being displayed in different positions in the Chart.  These labels may have to be moved into their desired positions.
F.	When using Drawing Tools, the current attributes of the picked object is not reflected in the menu.
G.	Sculpting may not work as expected when used on sharp corners.  Sculpting does not work on picked text.
H.	Connected Move does not operate on picked text.
{I.	It is possible to add text close enough to the boundary of the work area so that it is not pickable to modify.}
{J.	Real decimal numbers entered in menu fields are rounded so nonzero values close to zero are indicated as zero.}
{K.	There is no interactive way to change the color palette.}
{L.	The one quarter, one half, cent sign, and underscore characters are not included in the text fonts.}
{M.	Whenever a font is used in a picture, it takes up approximately 10K of memory.  The font then remains for all the pictures created during that session, even if future pictures saved does not contain any text.  Therefore it is recommeded that a user configure their Context Manager partition large enough to accomodate these fonts by defining the partition to be at least 40K larger than what is expected for use with the largest picture to be made.}
