Picture

Pictures are non-control related images that can be used as backgrounds or for placing logos, icons, etc. Selecting Picture and clicking in the Surface will produce the Image dialog box.

Load allows browsing for desired image files. Supported file formats include: BMP, JPEG, GIF, EMF, WMF, TIFF, PNG, & ICO.

Paste allows placing images from the Clipboard.

Clear eliminates the selected image, without placing.

At the bottom of the Image dialog box are three radio buttons, Link, Embed Int., and Embed Ext. This selection determines where the image file will be stored when the control surface is sent to the server:

• Link - the image file will not be stored on the server. Instead, a link to the file path location of the image will be stored in the control surface. When the control surface is opened, Biamp Canvas software will search for the image at the specified file path location on the local PC. If the image is not stored in that location on the local PC, it will not be displayed on the control surface.
• Embed Int. - the image file will be stored on the server, in the same memory bank as the control surface file. If the storage capacity in this location is exhausted, Embed Ext. can be used instead.

• Embed Ext. - the image file will be stored on the server, in a separate, dedicated memory bank.

File Name allows embedded images to be given an identifying name, which appears in the Property Sheet. Linked files indicate their file name and directory location. Appearance may be manipulated in the Surface or edited in the Property Sheet.
