Graphics But ePro Canvas doesn’t stop at just text when dealing with multi-language requirements. Each graphic image can also be contained within the media library with multi-language context. The same goes for sound files and for engineering unit conversion expressions. This means that you not only can change text, but you can change graphics, sounds, and convert from inches to metric with the language change. This represents the new standard for completely integrated international support! Configuration Tools The ePro Canvas editor comes in two versions, ePro Canvas and ePro Canvas Professional....
