Repositioning Images and Locations

 

When contouring in ChemPoint, you have the option of drawing the contours over a background image file. Typically, the background image would be an aerial photograph of the facility. Background images have the following characteristics:

  • The image must be a Windows Bitmap file
  • They can be resized in ChemPoint using the Contour Image Zoom dialog
  • The image can be repositioned below the contours.

Display Background Image -- If this box is checked, the background image will be displayed. If this box is not checked, no background image will be displayed, even if one is specified.
