Image displaying is defined through the following controls:

Field: this button enables you to link the image to a field of the data source, if present.

File: click here to display a standard File open dialog box that will enable you to select an image file and load it.

Clipart: click here to display the Clipart selection dialog box (not available in the light version).

Scanner: click here to display a list of available TWAIN sources (scanners, digital cameras, etc.). Importing images from a TWAIN source is managed by the selected device driver.

Remove: click here to delete the current image.

Zoom: this combo box enables you to define the type of resizing to be applied to the image displayed inside the Graphic element bounding rectangle. The options are:

• (None): non zoom is applied and the image it's shown with in its original size.
• Proportional: the image is resized as large as possible but the original width and height proportions are maintained.
• Stretch: resizes the image to cover the entire surface of the containing graphic element, without honoring the original proportions.

Alignment: combo box to define the alignment of the image inside its layout rectangle. This option gets deactivated in case zoom mode is set to Stretch.

RGB settings: 5 controls are present that enable you to control RGB attributes:

• Red value.
• Green value.
• Blue value.
• Image transparency (Alpha).
• Color intensity (Gamma).

Interpolation: image quality rendering algorithm. The options are:

• Low quality: the image is rendered in low quality (fastest).
• High quality: the image is rendered in high quality.
• Bilinear: no pre-filtering applied. This mode is unsuitable for images that need to be reduced below 50% of their original size.
• Bicubic: no pre-filtering applied. This mode is unsuitable for images that need to be reduced below 25% of their original size.
• Nearest neighbor (default): aka Jagged interpolation mode. Suitable for non anti-alias images.
• HQ bilinear: high quality bilinear. A pre-filtering algorithm is applied to ensure a high quality resizing.
• HQ bicubic: high quality bicubic. A pre-filtering algorithm is applied to ensure a high quality resizing. This mode produces resized images with the highest quality (slowest).
