You know, the fact that in order to show some of your user interface graphics you needed to store these graphics within your database - along with your data. In fact, it's pretty much accepted that you create container fields, many times within a dedicated table, to store graphics and resources. The issue I had with this approach was not that it needs to be done, but the fact that the user interface graphics were not separated out from the rest of my data. I wanted to be able to simply "draw" graphics onto the layout. Well, this itch can now be scratched with FileMaker 13's new Base64* set of functions. While you still need at least one container field in order to render your graphics, the new additions have reduced the number of fields in total. Watch this video to gain a full understanding of how this works and just how easy it is to integrate into your own solutions!
