Pictures created in RISC OS Draw or Paint programs and stored as Draw files on your computer can be inserted into a PipeDream document.
Where it is available, PipeDream also now uses !ChangeFSI
to allow many more image file types to be imported.
PipeDream does not in fact store the picture file within the PipeDream document but simply inserts a reference to it in the form:
@G:filename,100@
Because of this, you need only one copy of the picture on the disc, not one for each document.
The number at the end indicates the percentage scale factor at which the picture is to be drawn. You can change this to other values to resize the picture.
It is best to drag the picture to the document from the same directory as the document was loaded. If you do this, PipeDream stores just the leafname (and not the whole directory path) of the picture. If the directories are different, PipeDream has to store the whole directory path. Storing just the leafname is advantageous because the two files can be copied into other directories or onto other discs and PipeDream will look for the file in the new directory rather than the original one.
Alternatively, proceed as follows:
By default, PipeDream looks for the picture file in the same directory as the file you are editing. It is, therefore, a good idea to keep pictures and text for the same document in the same directory.
If necessary, delete any blank rows between the picture and the paragraph beneath it by positioning the caret on the blank row immediately below the picture and giving the Delete Row command.
Note that when the cell containing the picture is not on the screen, no part of the picture is shown.
