Description

It is a basic object for inserting images in the drawing.

Inserted Images can be BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG and TIFF

 

When the inserted image is an 1-bit Image (B&W) then the background color of the image (usually the white) is shown transparent and the other color is shown black or white, depending on the background color. This is useful for drawings to be scanned and then inserted as images in other drawings.

 

Image has a Scale property that is used to resize keeping the aspect ratio of the image.

The image is defined by InsertionPoint, Rotation, Width and Height.
