USER INTERFACE → FORM LIST or TABBED PANE LIST → FORM or TABBED PANE
USER INTERFACE → DIAGRAM LIST → DIAGRAM
IMAGE displays image files in the Input region of a TABBED PANE as well as in the Diagram region.
Three file formats may be imported into an EASAP:
- Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
- JPEG Format (.jpg, .jpeg)
- Portable Network Graphics Format (.png)
Upload an Image File
After an image file is uploaded to the EASA Server via:
The filename will appear in the dropdown list in Image:
Alternatively, select an IMAGE EXCEL ACTION from the dropdown list in Image from Action:

Size:
All image files (.gif, .jpg, .png) have an existing width and height. If you want to maintain an images’s aspect ratio, you will need to know the existing width and height, and then set the Size: parameter using width and height having an equivalent ratio.
Define in Pixels:
If your imported images are being distorted unacceptably, set Define in Pixels: parameter to maintain the original resolution of the image file.
Origin: and Size: for native DIAGRAM's
If an imported image is to be used in conjunction with a native DIAGRAM, then you will most likely have to specify the Origin: and Size: parameters using expressions containing the same object references used in the native object parameters.
Note: If you specify the size of an imported image in pixels, then all other DIAGRAM's need to be sized relative to the number of pixels in each direction.
