You can also drag an image file from the Finder or Media Browser to the image well in
the Graphic Inspector.
4 Choose an image scale from the pop-up menu.
Scale To Fit: Resizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions as well as possible. If the
object’s shape is different from the original image’s, parts of the image may not appear;
blank space may also appear around the image.
Scale To Fill: Makes the image appear larger or smaller, sizing it to leave minimum space
around the image, even if the object and image have different shapes.
Stretch: Sizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions but distorts it if the object has a
shape different from the original image.
Original Size: Places the image inside the object without altering its original
dimensions. If the image is larger than the object, you see only a part of the image in
the object. If the image is smaller than the object, there is blank space around it.
Tile: Repeats the image inside the object, if the image is smaller than the object. If the
image is larger than the object, you see only part of the image inside the object.
Use the pop-up menu to
set the size of the image
within the object.
To change the image,
drag an image to the
image well.
