Summary
 Assigns an object graphic tag to the currently selected frame.
Example extract

The macro shown below automatically creates a new object graphic tag name and assigns it to the selected frame:

 tfo "_"

Syntax (SVNNA)
tfo  *:L?  link:n?  [  name:t  [  filter:n file:s  [  fit:n  [  aspect:n  [  t colour mode:n (  g colour mode:n  )  ]?   ]?   ]?   ]?   ]? 
*:L

Preceding the entire parameter list with an asterisk allows the tfo macro to work on a dummy frame. This can be used to import object graphics without relying on a selected frame to contain them.
link:n
0  Do not link to external file.
1  Link imported tag with external file.
name:t

The tag name of the object graphic, e.g. og1. If this does not exist, it will be created.
filter:n
-1  Automatic filter. Arbortext APP will automatically use the correct file filter option if it can recognise the file type from those listed below.
0  Arbortext APP-format .3o file.
1  GEM object graphics file.
2  HPGL file.
3  DXF file.
4  Mac PICT file.
5  CGM file.
6  SVG file.
file:s

The name of the object graphics file to be imported.
fit:n
0  Do not fit to frame
1  Fit to frame.
aspect:n
0  Do not preserve aspect ratio.
1  Preserve aspect ratio.
t colour mode:n
0  No text colour translation.
1  White to Black text colour translation.
2  All text black.
g colour mode:n
0  No graphics colour translation.

Example

This second example imports a linked file called 'pic1" from the specified directory, using Arbortext APP's automatic file filter, fitting to frame whilst preserving the aspect ratio:

 tfo 1,"pic1",--1,"c:\imports\pic1.jpg",1,1
