Embedding Gifs/Jpgs etc.

[Rob_M]

I would like to see a capability within EA that would allow the embedding of pictures of various types into the RTF generated documents.

As an example of how this could be generated, consider a new object type in the Custom drawer called "Picture". By dragging in the picture to the diagram, a box, much like the 'Screen' object appears.

Next, in the "Files" tab, we enter in the name of a file that represents the picture. When the RTF documentation is generated, the generator observes that the object type is picture, then pulls in the file representing the picture into the document.

In this way 'pictures' that describe interfaces, algorithms etc. could be embedded in EA generated documents.
