Picture tab

Picture tab (The Property Editor)

Displays and allows you to set properties specific to Picture objects.

Picture

Transparent checkbox

Check this if you want your picture to display transparently. The transparent color is the color of the bottom left pixel in the picture. Any pixel that has the transparent color will display whatever is "under" it in your design.

Preserve Aspect checkbox

Check this if you want your picture to display with the proper aspect ratio regardless of how you size the object. With this unchecked the picture will be stretched to fill the object's bounding rectangle.

Picture... button

Click this to select, scan or apply effects to the picture using the Pick Picture dialog box.

button

Click to correct the aspect ratio based on the display width of the picture (only available when Preserve Aspect is unchecked).

button

Click to correct the aspect ratio based on the display height of the picture (only available when Preserve Aspect is unchecked).

button

Click to display the picture full size.

Blending slider/edit

Select or specify the blending value (0-254). The higher the blending value, the more of whatever is behind the picture shows through.

Size and Position

Top

The position of the top edge of the object in the units shown.

Width

Non-Printing checkbox
