Graphics Information) provides
links to files needed for
viewing SIS graphic images.

 SIS Web graphics can now be opened by the same

viewer used by the stand-alone/network version of SIS.
A click of the DjVuPlugin_EN.exe link downloads this
plug-in; locate and run the saved file to install DjVu.
(PC administrative privilege may be required.)

been installed, two preference
settings are available for the user:
In Line – allows immediate use of
the pan (click and drag the ‘hand’) and
magnifying glass (hold the Ctrl key
down and move the cursor) features.

Not In Line – requires viewing the

image before any DjVu plug-in
features are activated.
