 How to place an image


You can place an image (BMP, JPG, DPD, PNG file) on a base screen. There are 3 methods to place an image;
1. Image Placement: directly loads an image on a base screen,
2. Call Screen: allows you to use a registered image on several screens, and
3. Background Image: displays an image as the screen background.

Image Placement Useful when placing an image on a specific base screen. It is an easy setup because you don't need to register the image, but it requires much memory to place the image every time.
Call Screen

Useful when placing an image on several base screens. You need to register the image in the library. It uses memory only for one image even if you place it on several base screens.

Background Image Useful when placeing an image as the screen background. Because the image always shows behind other parts, it is easy to select parts.
