‘Insert’ ‘Bitmap’

Symbol:

With the command you can insert a bitmap as an element in your present visualization (see Inserting Visualization Elements).

While pressing the left mouse button, bring up an area in the desired size. The standard dialog box for browsing for a file will be opened. You can use this dialog to select and enter a bitmap file from the local file system. In the configuration dialog of the inserted bitmap you then can define, whether a link to the bitmap file should be stored or the bitmap should be inserted as an element.

Alternatively you can specify a project variable to define which bitmap should be used. This allows a dynamic change of bitmaps in online mode. The variable must be entered in the configuration dialog of an already inserted bitmap element and it must contain the name of a bitmap file managed in the project-global ‘Extras’ ‘Bitmap list’.

For a description on the configuration of a bitmap element please see Bitmap.
