Copying and Exporting Graphic Images
If you copy a graphic image to another PanelBuilder application, its
size attributes are copied as well. If you export a graphic image, it is
exported with its original size dimensions, or with the size 640 by
480 pixels, if it was originally larger than this. When exporting, if
the source image was a .dxf file, the exported file is a bitmap (.bmp)
representation of the source image.
Note: If you are concerned about minimizing the size of your
application, use as few graphic images as possible. For each graphic
image you use, the application file’s size increases by the number of
bytes in the image. Copies of a graphic image take much less space
than the original, so you might consider using the same image on
several screens rather than placing a unique image on each screen.
Ensure that all copies are the same size as the original, however,
otherwise each copy is saved as a separate image. Monochrome
graphic images take less file space than 16-color images that are the
same height and width.
