Chapter 15    Graphic Image Formats

Note:  At this time, masked images are not supported by the Java 

libraries and cannot be rendered using the Java Renderer. 

Using GIF compatible (GUF) Images

The GUF format is the same as 

un

compressed GIF format. As a result, 

GUF images can be displayed in any web browser that can display GIF 

images. GUF images, however, are as much as 2 to 20 times as large as 

GUF images. As a result, they take more time to download and display 

than compressed GIF images. 

By default, VisualWave generates graphic images in GIF compatible GUF 

format. If you have set VisualWave to use the Java Renderer, you can 

reset it to use the GUF format: 

1

Display the Settings Tool (in the main VisualWave window choose 

File

Settings. 

2

Display the Web Image page. 

3

Set the Uncompressed GIF Compatible (GUF) option. 

4

Apply the settings. 

5

Save the VisualWave image.
