Bundling an image

datanibbler — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 10:21:23 GMT

Hi,

I have just read up on bundling images and such. I've never done it before.

I have a small Excel file with two fields:

- Fieldname

- Link (like >> C:\Users\...jpg)

So far, that worked fine.

Now I want to use that bundled picture as a background_picture in a chart. So I have

- created a new free_text_object (on the "presentation" tab)

- on the tab "pictures", selected that

=> In the edit_field, I got that qmem syntax all right

<=> The image doesn't appear, only that text.

What else must I do to get that picture?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Hi,

By default data representation type is text. change it to image then it will works fine.

I know that setting with textboxes and such - but I want to add this as a free_text_box inside a graph. Where is it there?

In the colors tab you can choose a background image

Hi Piet,

yes, I know that, but that's not what I want - I don't want to set this as a background_image, but only a small image in a box in the upper right corner of the charting_area - a free_text_box or whatever you may call it.

Are you referring to the text in Chart option in the presentation tab? It does not have that option, maybe you can just place a normal text object with the picture on top of the chart.

Thanks Piet!

So that isn't possible. OK, so I don't have to worry.

I have done that with the textbox - but for that I do not necessarily have to bundle the images at all?

Have a nice weekend!

You're welcome and yes it is then not necessary to bundle load these unless offcourse you want a variable picture in an expression.

Nice weekend!
