Removing an Inner Graphic
To remove an inner graphic or ISA symbol from an object:

•
From the tool bar, select a state from the State box.
•
Or choose Next State or Previous State from the Format menu.
3. Click the Inner Graphic tool on the tool bar.
Or choose Inner Graphic from the Format menu.
The Format bar appears.

The graphic is removed.

Editing Graphics
The size and content of an inner graphic (bitmap or ISA symbol)
cannot be changed in PanelBuilder. You must export the graphic,
revise it with another program such as Paintbrush and then re-import
it. You can export the graphic directly from the Format bar.
Bitmaps are handled like global objects. A bitmap image is stored
once, regardless of the number of links to it. When an image is
updated, PanelBuilder updates all instances of the image.
To edit a bitmap graphic or an ISA symbol:
1. Click the Import/Export Graphics tool on the Format bar.
Or choose Import/Export Graphics from the File menu.
2. Export the graphic to a disk file or the clipboard. Chapter 16 tells
how to export a graphic from the Import/Export Graphics dialog.
3. Use Paintbrush or another program to edit the bitmap graphic.
4. Import the revised image from the Import/Export Graphics
dialog. It’s recommended that you change the name to
differentiate the new image from the old image.
Important: Bitmaps cannot exceed the pixel size of the terminal.
5. Re-insert the graphic in object as described on page 17–20.
