GETTING STARTED
Using ER Viewer
Start ER Viewer (Start->Programs->ER Mapper->ER Viewer). Select File->Open and s
elect an image to display. As well as selecting a local file, you can also speci
fy a file being served by an Image Web Server across the internet (e.g. ecwp://w
ww.earthetc.com/images/world/gtopo30.ecw). See www.earthetc.com for other exampl
es of images you can view across the internet.
Using the ER Viewer OLE Server to embed images in Word and PowerPoint
From within Word or PowerPoint, select Insert->Object. To insert a local image,
select the Create From File tab and select a file to display. To insert an image
being served across the internet, select the Create New tab, select "Ecw File",
and then specify the file using the "ecwp://" prefix (e.g. ecwp://www.earthetc.
com/images/world/gtopo30.ecw). If your connection is slow, you may have to hit t
he refresh button a few times in order to see the image.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
1. If using the OLE functionality and you need to insert a local image greater t
han 4GB you must use the "create from file" option within the OLE dialog. If the
"create new" option is used, an empty object will appear.
2. When inserting an image that requires significant amount of time to process (
extremely large files or URL with slow connection) you might get a message from
the OLE client imforming that "IUnknown is busy" with several options. Select "S
witch to" as this will continue with the processing.
3. The image may not redraw correctly if it is moved behind other windows while
being drawn. The workaround is not to move the image window while it is being up
dated.
4. When printing an image, a message might appear informing there is not enough
virtual memory to complete the print job. This will occur with machines that hav
e limited space on their system drive (print spooling) or have low virtual memor
y.
5. Distance measurements using the Measure Tool are incorrect on the initial loa
ding of an image. Once you Pan/Zoom/Roam/Refresh, correct values will be returne
d.
