The Designer Scripts API provides several functions to style elements, for example css(),
hasClass() and addClass() (see "Standard Script API" on page1273).
For information regarding scripts for Dynamic Tables, see "Using scripts in Dynamic Tables"
on page900.
Styling an image
Just like many other elements, images can be given borders and rounded corners, and they
can be rotated. How to do this isn't any different from the way it is done with other elements, so
it isn't described in this topic, but in general formatting topics; see "Styling and formatting" on
page736.
This topic discusses specific image formatting issues.
Note that image characteristics like brightness and contrast can not be changed within the
Designer.
Local formatting vs. style sheets
Just as other elements, images can be styled in two ways:
l With local formatting. This means styling the image directly, using the Formatting dialog.
l Via Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). In a style sheet, style rules are declared for
elements with different HTML tags, ID's and classes.
See "Styling and formatting" on page736 for background information about these two methods.
Applying local formatting to an image
To apply local formatting to an image, either:
l right-click the image and select Image... from the contextual menu
l click the image and select Format > Image... from the menu.
For an explanation of the available options, see "Image Formatting dialog" on page958.

enter the ID or class on the Attributes pane. This makes it possible to make the CSS style rule
