 Image
 
Item Type
Image
Description
Shows an Image imported from a file. An optional caption setting is provided.
Setting
Type
Notes
Image Name
Single-line text
The image name is used only to identify the image within the Report Layout tree. It is initially taken from the imported image’s file name.
Caption
Multi-line text
A string of text to appear below the image. For more information on images, see the text below the table.
When you add an Image to the layout, a file selector is opened which allows you to select an image file.
After picking an image file, a new Image item is created. Optional Caption text can be specified with each image item. In the generated model report, caption text is shown under the image. For sufficiently wide images (at least 300 pixels wide), the caption is horizontally centered below the image and wrapped to the image width. Captions for narrower images are not constrained in this way; they appear under the image, left aligned, and flowing to the full display width of the generated model report page. It is not currently possible to select a different image for an existing image item. If a different image is desired, a new image item must be created. (You may wish to retain the old image item during the creation of the new image item so that the old image caption text can be copied and pasted to the new image item).
For imported images, the Image data is stored in the model file in the model report output device configuration. Including many large images in a model report configuration could potentially increase the size of the model file significantly and could result in slower model file loading.
