Textures
Textures are bitmaps (images) that can be used as Image objects. The ADU device has built-in
textures dedicated for displaying as icons or backgrounds. The user is also able to add their own
textures (e.g. background, icon, etc.).
The textures are managed by means of the
Texture Manager (Menu/Tools/Texture manager
dialogue). This dialogue is displayed also when
you select a texture for the objects that display it
(e.g. Image, Bar graph, etc.) Using the Texture
Manager you may preview the available textures.
After selecting a texture in the lower part of the
window, information about the selected image (3)
will be displayed along with its preview (4). You
can also use the filtering option to have only
textures or icons (5) displayed. An icon differs
from a texture in that it has to be 64x64 pixels. To
add your own icon or texture, select Add custom
texture or Add custom icon. After selecting a file with a graphics (png, jpg and bmp formats are
supported), a dialogue will be displayed that will enable you configure the texture.
