You can add images with the following file formats: GIF (standard and animated), JPEG (standard and progressive), BMP (Windows and OS/2), TIFF, TGA, RAS, EPS, PCX, PNG, and WMF. The formats that are generally used for forms are GIF, JPEG, and PNG.
An image can optionally be bound to an attribute.

| Sizing | ResizeImage and ResizeBox are the two options available. ResizeImage is the default value. When an image is loaded with the ResizeImage option set, then the loaded image fits the size of the box set in the Painter tab. On toggling to ResizeBox, the box stretches to fit the original image size. When an image is loaded with the ResizeBox option set, then the box stretches to fit the original image size. Resizing of the image is not allowed in this mode. |
