Images (png, jpg, gif)

Images such as PNGs, JPGs, or GIFs can be imported and used inside of windows in Ignition.

To use an image on a window

  1. Drag an Image component onto the window.

  2. In the image component's Image Path property, click on the Browse icon.

  3. From the Image Browser, find an image file you want and double-click on it to display it in your window.
    The path to the image is now displayed in the components Image Path property.

Image Manager

In addition to the method described above, you can also import images using the Image Manager available from the Tools > Image Management menu.

Exporting and Importing Projects

When the project is exported, the images are not included only the path associated with the Image Path property of the image component is. When you import the project into a different Ignition server, the file paths associated with the image components will not have any images to display. It is possible to export the images to a local disk that can accompany the project. The export function is located on any Browse icon associated with Image Path properties.

Ignition does not support bitmap files.
