Description

This component inserts an image from an external file into the report. It can have the Chapter/Subsection or Paragraph component as its parent. If the Paragraph component is its parent, you must select the Insert as inline image check box.

Class

  • File name: Specifies the image file name. You can enter this name manually, or use the Browse button (...) to find the image file.

    The image must be in a format that your viewer can read. An error like the following appears if you specify the name of an image file that does not exist:

      No file name.  Could not create graphic.

    This field supports %<VariableName> notation.

  • Copy to local report files directory: Saves a copy of the image to a local report files folder.

Display Options

  • Scaling: Controls size of the image, as displayed in a browser. Making an image larger using this option does not affect the storage size of the image, but the quality of the displayed image may decrease as you increase or decrease the size of the displayed image.

    Generally, to achieve the best and most predictable display results, use the default setting of Use image size.

    • Use image size: Causes the image to appear the same size in the report as on screen (default).

    • Fixed size: Specifies the number and type of units.

    • Zoom: Specifies the percentage, maximum size, and units of measure.

  • Size: Specifies the size of the image. In the text field, enter the size by using the format [width height]. Then, in the dropdown list to the right of the text field, select the units for the size of the image. These fields are active only if you choose Fixed size in the Scaling dropdown list.

  • Max size: Specifies the maximum size of the image. In the text field, enter the size by using the format [width height]. Then, in the dropdown list to the right of the text field, select the units for the size of the image. These fields are active only if you choose Zoom in the Scaling dropdown list.

  • Alignment: Only reports in PDF or RTF format support this property.
