Graphic Images
You can import bitmaps into the panel view by setting the
PanelBackgroundPicture property. VEE imports *.jpeg,
*.png, *.wmf, *.GIF, and *.bmp files to serve as the
background for your Main, UserObject, or UserFunction
panel.
When a bitmap is set as the background picture, other VEE
objects will appear on top of the picture. (For more
information about how to do this, refer to “Lab 11- 2:
Importing Bitmaps for Panel Backgrounds" on page 425.)
Images may be scaled, tiled, cropped, or centered.
Figure 222 shows a background picture that has been tiled.

There is also a Picture object in the Display menu, if you
want to place a bitmap in a program. Figure 223 shows a
picture that has been included with Display ⇒ Picture, and
then cropped in VEE.
