Worksheet Crafter User Manual
|
The picture field enables you to insert pictures on the worksheet which can be resized as needed. The pictures are selected in a file selection window. Therefore you can search all pictures on your computer. |
Creating a New Picture
|
Use the toolbar icon pictured on the left to place a new picture on the worksheet. For more information about this topic see the chapter "Creating Items". |
Selecting the Picture
When creating a picture item via toolbar the picture may be selected via file dialog.
Worksheet Crafter supports the picture file formats BMP, JPG, JPEG, WMF, GIF, PNG, TIF and TIFF.
A more convenient way is to drag and drop one of the many illustrations from the content search on your worksheet.
You may also add own images to the content search.
Worksheet Crafter displays the selected picture on the worksheet. You can now resize the picture as needed. For more information about resizing items see the chapter "Editing Items".

Picture Properties
You can select the following settings for the picture field in the Property Editor:
Drawing style: |
For illustrations from our asset packages it is possible to switch between colored, black and white and contour. |
Keep aspect ratio: |
Defines whether the original aspect ratio will be maintained when resizing the picture. This setting is active by default and ensures that the picture isn't accidentally warped. |

Use this property so that you can place pictures side by side more easily, without having overlapping white border-sections. (Only visible for images that do not already have transparent areas.) |
Show frame: |
Shows a frame around the picture. |
Frame color: |
Specifies the color of the frame (if shown). |
