|
Custom Image Library Path |
Specify the location of your image files to create a custom image library. The custom image library enables you to make your own images available in the Select Image dialog. Before entering the path in the Custom Image Library Path field, you must place your images in a .jar file and add it to the RTV_USERPATH environment variable. Note: The images must be in a directory and not at the top level of the .jar file. They can be organized into subdirectories of one top level directory. |
|
|
After you have prepared the .jar file as described above, specify the location of the directory containing your images in the Custom Image Library Path field. For example, suppose you have a .jar file with the following directory structure: com/mycompany/Images com/mycompany/Images/Blue Images com/mycompany/Images/Red Images com/mycompany/Images/Green Images In the Custom Image Library Path field you would enter com/mycompany/Images to add a directory named Images to the tree in the Select Image dialog. The Images directory will have three subdirectories: Blue Images, Red Images, and Green Images. Note: Only directories containing images will be added to the Select Image dialog. |
|
|
To access your custom image library, edit any property that allows you to set an image on an object (e.g. image, barImage and filterProperties properties) or select File>Background Properties and edit the Image Name field. |
