Images

Top Previous Next

Images can be inserted into documents in a number of ways:

•	Directly into the layout document. In this case all custom report documents contain the same image.

•	In purchase orders, any pictures in the original bill are automatically populated into the order's table

•	In Front end, the [Elevation Pix] and [Plan Pix] special fields load the corresponding images.

•	A special Field "Picture(Filename,100%)" allows images to be inserted anywhere

Filename is replaced by actual path which may contain other special fields or Text variables

",100%" is the magnification of the image.The "%" is optional.

if the sizing is omitted, it is set to 100%, unless the image is within a text frame, in which case it is set to the largest size that fits in the text frame while still retaining its original aspect.

The maximum magnification is 1000% and the minimum 1%

For this special field, the square brackets are omitted

examples:

Picture(c:\mypic.bmp,100%)

Picture(c:\mypic.bmp)

Picture(c:\mypic.bmp,300)

Picture([JUDF3],100%)

Picture(\\server\Dox\[Code]\mypix.tif)

Picture({Picture12},100%)

the formatting can be within your data

e.g. the value of job UDF3 could be "Picture(c:\mypic.bmp,100%)". In that case "[JUDF3]" in your layout would cause the picture to load
