You can add, edit, or delete images (BLOBs) within your database files. The R:BASE BLOB Editor has also been enhanced to manage multipage images. Drawing objects, like lines, boxes, text, etc., can also be added to images.
When adding or displaying images in the R:BASE BLOB Editor, annotations can be made using several type of drawing tools. Objects include:
Button |
Description |
|
Draw Line |
|
Draw Box |
|
Draw Ellipse |
|
Draw Text |
|
Draw Ruler |
|
Draw Polyline |
|
Draw Angle |
Image Annotation Notes:
•After an object is added to the image, the properties will automatically display. Double clicking on the object will redisplay the Properties dialog.
•The object(s) added become part of the image.
•When a field object is selected, small tan circles appear on the corners and sides or line ends, based upon the drawing object added. These circles are called handlebars which are used to manipulate the size and location.
•Objects can be stretched, resized and/or manipulated by hovering the mouse cursor over and dragging any of the available handlebars that are displayed upon the object's edges or end points. The cursor will change to a double pointed arrow.
•Objects can be moved by hovering the mouse cursor along any line portion of the object between the handlebars and dragging the mouse cursor. The cursor will change to a black four-pointed cross.
•After placing an object, any objects added after will use the same pen and brush properties, if the setting applies.
•When placing a text object, "Draw Text" option, on an image and then clicking the "OK" button to save the object properties, start typing your text. You will notice the text being displayed against a grey background.
•In order to save an image annotation, double click on the thumbnail (left side of the separator). The change will then be visible in the thumbnail image.
•Selecting the "OK" or "Cancel" buttons (lower right corner) of the R:BASE BLOB Editor will save or cancel your changes accordingly.
