How to Load and Use an Image

You can add your own images so that your applications can display company logos and banner backgrounds.

To add an image:

1. Go to the repository → Application → Images.
2. Right-click and select  Add .  PhixFlow opens an image property tab, where you can upload the image.
3. Click  OK.

To use an image:

1. Open the layout properties for the component in which you want to use an image.
2. In Style Settings → Background Image, select the image from the drop-down list; see Layout → Background Image.
   The drop-down list includes all images available in the full repository. To see the images uploaded to the repository for the current application, click  List Images.

3. Set other options for the image, see Layout → Style Settings. 

   By default, PhixFlow will repeat a small image or icon to fill the available background space. To use a small image as a single icon, change Background Repeat to no-repeat.

4. Click  OK.

To use an image as an icon to represent the component in a palette:

1. Open the layout properties for the component in which you want to use an image.
2. In Advanced → Internal Icon Source, select the image from the drop-down list; see Layout → Internal Icon Source  for details.
3. Click  OK.
