Apologies - I neglected to mention in my previous letter that I am using Mathematica version3 and windows 95. I am attaching the original request. ----- Original Message -- --- From: Getz To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg19244] Importing graphics into mathematica I am having a problem importing graphics into mathematica in a form which can be manipulated by the kernel. There is NO problem in opening any graphic image via OPEN in FILE menu or copying and pasting. After opening the graphic in mathematica, I select it and then use the command CELL>CONVERT TO>INPUTFORM. This gives a listing of the graphic object (apparently different kindsof lists for different objects) but the image fails to materialise. Sometimes I get an empty space and at other times I get a failed message. The graphics programs that I use are paint, power point, ipplus and micrografx picture publisher. I would appreciate any help in this regard. I am writing this from my home computer (So that's the email address appearing here.) My academic address is: 036cgg at cosmos.wits.ac.za Thanks very much.
