Imported images allow you to accomplish such tasks as including a corporate logo in an Image Template file, or use an image as a background to a graph or map. Corda® Builder™ encodes imported images into the project. Imported graphics can be any image file of the following formats: GIF, PNG, and JPEG.
Imported images work a lot like any other object in Corda Builder. You can add a border, add drilldown effects, add descriptive text, and change the image in Object Properties.
Warning: Adding an imported image can significantly increase the size of an Image Template file. If used with Corda Server™, a very large imported image can significantly affect image display time.
Import, move, and delete images as you would any other object in a Corda Builder project. For more information, see Working with Objects.
This section includes the following image-related topics:
Like any other object, resize imported graphics by selecting a corner of the image and dragging it in or out. However, since an imported graphic is scaled as it is resized, the image's quality can be adversely affected.
Properties and attributes related to image resizing are available from the Common property in Object Properties. More information on these properties and attributes is available in the Corda 7 Object Reference.
To use an imported image as a watermark, or to place an imported image on top of a graph or map and still have the objects visible behind it, set the transparency of the imported image.
Properties and attributes related to image transparency are available from the Image Settings property in Object Properties. More information on these properties and attributes is available in the Corda 7 Object Reference.
To further accentuate the imported image, add border and shadow effects.
Properties and attributes related to image border and shadow are available from the Image Settings property in Object Properties. More information on these properties and attributes is available in the Corda 7 Object Reference.
