Image

This allows you to choose a picture, called an image (previously called a bitmap), which can be embedded in the Guideline.

Note - In selecting a bitmap you are only establishing a reference to that bitmap on your hard disk or network. This operation does not take a copy of the bitmap and in order for your guideline to work correctly, the bitmap must always be available in a common area for all users of the system.

This means you should not try to insert a bitmap from a floppy disk - copy the bitmap to a directory first and import it from there.

  1. With a guideline in design mode, click Image (Bitmap) on the floating toolbar.
  2. Select the bitmap to be included, and click OK.
  3. The bitmap itself will be displayed in the main guideline window.

    The size of the bitmap may be adjusted by using the + and - keys on the main guideline window; the effect of this will be to adjust the height and width of the bitmap proportionally. Bitmaps have their own internal size and on selecting a bitmap a fixed width column large enough to contain this bitmap will be created.

    You may want to use the carriage return icon to insert a new line after a bitmap. If not, the second bitmap will be placed beside the first.
