Insert picture from field

Post by Xbase_Guy » Tue Jun 28, 2005 12:03 pm

Hi all,____I^m using a calculated field to insert a picture from file.____No matter what I do (zoom, crop, stretch) the image will not retain is fixed aspect ratio. Can you show me an example where this works. Your help says:____"4. Select Open. Report Designer inserts BLANK.BMP at the specified location as a placeholder for the actual image whose value will be determined at runtime."____Thanks -Scott____

What is going to happen is that R&R will stretch each image to fit the of blank.bmp placeholder. So if the image^s actual proportions are different, they will be distorted.____When are working on a fix so that each image will still fit within the size of the blank.bmp but have its dimensions adjusted so that the aspect ratio of the original is maintained.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Will this fix also apply to the a picture attached to a form, i.e. client logo on form assigned to a gif file? Now each client logo has to be carefully adjusted to meet the saved image of the report.____Dan
