Picture Definition window

 


Allows you to add pictures to the Dexterity picture library. A picture must be added to the library before it can be attached to a data type as a static value. The picture library can store images as metafile or bitmap (.BMP) format in Windows. Pictures up to 32K in size can be stored.

To add a picture to the library, open the application in which the picture was developed and copy it to the Clipboard. In Dexterity, open the Picture Definition window, click the picture field, and choose Paste from the Edit menu. Click OK; and the picture will be added to the picture library.
