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.
