Dashboard Designer > Dashboard Item > Images

Image Settings

You can customize the representation of Image and Bound Image dashboard items in different ways.

Image Alignment

To specify how the image is aligned within the dashboard item, use the Alignment group in the Design ribbon tab.

DIIS1

Image Size Mode

You can specify the image size mode that defines how the image fits within the dashboard item.

To do this, use the Size Mode group in the Ribbon's Design tab.

DIIS2

The following table illustrates each size mode in two cases: when the image is smaller than the dashboard item, and vice versa.

SIZE MODE	IMAGE SMALLER THAN DASHBOARD ITEM	IMAGE L ARGER THAN DASHBOARD ITEM	DESCRIPTION
Clip			The image is clipped if it is larger than the Image dashboard item.
Stretch			The image is stretched or shrunk to fit the size of the Image dashboard item.
Squeeze			If the dimensions of the Image dashboard item exceed those of the image it contains, the image is shown in full-size. Otherwise, the image is resized to fit the dimensions of the Image dashboard item.
Zoom			The image is sized proportionally (without clipping), so that it best fits the Image dashboard item. If the aspect ratio of the Image dashboard item is the same as the aspect ratio of the image, it will be resized to fit into the Image dashboard item while maintaining its aspect ratio. Otherwise, the image will be resized in the closest fitting dimension (either the height or the width), and the remaining dimension will be resized while maintaining the image's aspect ratio.
