Determines the size and position of the graphic inside an Image object.

Property of

Image

Description

If a graphic is smaller than the Image object that displays it, it can be stretched to fill the Image object or positioned inside the Image object with empty space around it. Assign one of the following settings to the alignment property of an Image object to determine how the graphic is aligned.

Setting

Description

0 (Stretch)

Enlarge graphic to fill the entire Image object

1 (Top Left)

In the top left corner of the Image object

2 (Center)

Centered in the Image object

3 (Keep Aspect Stretch)

Maintains the original height/width (aspect) ratio when stretching the graphic until it fills either dimension of the Image object

4 (True Size)

No changes to the graphic

If the graphic is larger than the Image object, both Stretch and Keep Aspect Stretch will reduce the graphic to fit the Image object so that the entire image is visible. Top Left and Center will both display whatever fits in the Image object.

True Size does not change the graphic at all. The Image object is dynamically resized to display the graphic. This is the fastest option, because dBASE Plus doesn’t have to do any stretching or shrinking.
