7.3.1 Creating an Image
To add an Image element to a Viewsheet, follow the steps below:
1. Drag an Image element from the Component tree onto the Viewsheet grid. Use the handles to move and resize the element.

2. Right-click the image element, and select 'Properties'. This opens the 'Image Properties' dialog box. Select the General tab.
Uploaded image files are stored in the asset.dat file together with the Viewsheet.
3. To upload a local image file, click the 'Upload' button at the bottom of the dialog box, and choose the file. The uploaded file is now listed under the 'Uploaded' folder.

To specify an image that already exists on the server (in a directory on the classpath), enter the resource path (e.g. '/library/image.gif') as an expression in the 'Dynamic Image Selection' field, under the Advanced tab.
4. Select the desired image from the 'Uploaded' folder, and click 'OK'.
The image is added to the Viewsheet. By default, the image appears at its full size. To scale the image to the Image container, select 'Scale Image' from the Advanced tab.
