Newbies Inspector62 Posted February 24, 2006 Newbies Posted February 24, 2006 Is there any way to draw lines & circles on a form? I'm not talking about layouts, but actually in browse mode. What I need to do is to be able to draw an arrow or circle to a specific spot on a photo that I inserted into my form. Many databases and form software packages do this, some even offer photo editing, but I can't figure out how to do it in FMP. Plug-ins, add-ons or any other items are welcome. Thanks!
Ender Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Greetings Inspector! If the graphic elements were always in a specific location, this *might* be possible by overlaying calculated container fields. Another possibility is to use a plug-in like xmChart, where you send the background graphic with coordinates and details for the elements to overlay, and have the charting plugin put it all together for you. This would be a considerable amount of work to understand and code the string that goes out to the plug-in, but could provide the best results. The resulting image could be placed in a field, or copied to another application.
