backgrounds

Post by arfo »

Hi everybody,
I just installed cmap tools after a long stand-by period and I have to 'refresh' my memory...
I wanted to insert a background in my map but when I open the folder 'pictures' I can't see my images...
I have two questions:

- should the images be in a specific fornat (es. bmp?)
- can I load pictures from any folder in my computer or have I to put them in a cmap folder?

thanx

Hi,

There is an entry "Change Backgrounds in the Help (http://cmap.ihmc.us/Support/Help/) that shows how to add backgrounds to Cmaps and concepts. You can also drag and drop the image from the desktop, any folder, or from the Views to the background of the Cmap or the Concept and select the Background option in the dialogue that shows up.

The entry "Working with Resources", also in the Help, shows how to add resources to the Views. Many image formats are supported, including bmp, png, jpg, gif, etc.
