Create images
Use the image graphic object to place images in your graphic displays. Images support
visibility animation only. You can use images already contained in the Images folder or
use Symbol Factory to select and add a graphic to the display and the Images folder.
Use bitmaps, PNG, and JPEG images
Before you can place a bitmap, PNG, or JPEG image in a display, you must import the
image into your application. For more information, see page 19-21.
To place a bitmap, PNG, or JPEG image in a display
1. Select the Image tool.
2. Click the mouse where you want to position the image, and then drag to draw a
rectangle.
The Image Browser opens.
3. In the Select image list, click the image to place, and then click OK.
For more information about using the Image Browser, see page 19-23.
The image is placed where you drew the rectangle, but the actual size of the image is
used, rather than the size of the rectangle you drew.
4. To change the image’s attributes, double-click the image to open the Image Properties
dialog box.
