Importing Graphics

You can also import your own graphics and use them just as you would use the graphics
included in the BBP
The imported graphics must be in the supported file format of Windows metafile (*.wmf) or a
monochrome bitmap (*.bmp). Windows metafile (*.wmf) formats are vector images that
maintain their clarity and crispness when they are resized. Bitmap files (*.bmp) are composed
of pixels which may appear fuzzy and become distorted when they are resized. You can also
import portable network graphics (*.png) and Joint Photographic [Experts] Group graphics
(*.jpg). Be sure to choose the correct format for the graphic you are using.
The maximum size for graphics that can be imported is 1 megapixel (the height x width of the
graphic = 1,000,000 pixels). Larger graphic files cannot be imported. If you get an "out-of-
memory" error when importing an image, it means the image is too large. Try resizing the
graphic on your PC to a smaller size, then import the graphic.
You can also import colored graphics, however the color of an imported graphic cannot be
changed. The color picker feature is disabled when working with an imported colored graphic.
