Image Trim
Image trim is a field type that appears as a picture on a form. You specify the starting point for the field and provide the name of the file that contains the picture. OpenROAD Workbench saves the image with the form. You must create and maintain the image outside of Workbench.
For more information about using image trim, see the Programming Guide.
Supported Image Formats
OpenROAD accepts the following image formats:
• GIF
• XBM (black and white only)
• Sun Raster (must be decompressed before being used)
• TIFF
• BMP
• ICO
• JPG
• PNG
