Images in Visualization
An image can be inserted in a visualization by the 'image' element.

Note: Directories providing text list files for the usage in a visualization are specified
in the Project Settings, Category Visualization.

Images are managed for this purpose in Image Pools. These are POUs containing image
files which are uniquely (within the project) referenced by a combination of the image
pool name and the list-internal ID.
In the Properties of an image element you specify the ID and (for unique accessing) the
image pool name to determine which image should be used. Due to the fact that the
image reference can also be specified via a variable, dynamic switching of images is
possible.
Further on a background image can be specified for the complete visualization in the
Background dialog (command 'Background').
