This is my best effort to represent a country goods shed with office extension, internal platform and awning over the loading doors. As you can see, it won't win any prizes: 2_292139_500000000.gif I saved it as a GIF image with transparent background. And this is what it looks like inserted on the sketchboard as a bitmap item. I rotated it into line ... PDF, TIFF. However, it would seem the requirement is for GIF format, so that's what will be provided. Hi Brian, Thanks for your further thoughts. Sketchboard can add bitmap items in any of these file formats: BMP, GIF, PNG, JPG, HCK. It is important for non-rectangular objects that the background can be made transparent. Otherwise such objects would be displayed on a rectangular image patch. This means that only GIF and PNG are the real options, and sketchboard supports transparent backgrounds for ...
