Add the Graphics Object

Click the Add an image icon , then click anywhere within the Design Area.  The following dialog box appears where you enter the location of the graphics image.

In this case, the image is stored on a local PC, so select Image is stored in the DataBlock and click the Browse button. A dialog box will appear in which you enter the location of the image. After supplying the location, the image will be placed on the Design Area. Drag the image to the desired location. 

There are three options for accessing an image:

• Image stored in the DataBlock: this option allows you to browse for an image on your hard disk and store the image statically in the DataBlock.
• Image stored on an accessible server: this option allows you to link to an image that is stored in a location accessible to the MAP Server. This is useful as the image itself can be changed without having to update your DataBlocks (assuming the location and filename remain the same).
• Image retrieved from a variable: this option allows the image to be inserted from a database query (or other Argos variable).  This can be very useful for dynamically displaying data-driven images.  You will need to specify which variable holds the image and the MIME type of the stored image.
