Did you ever get my email about ISO view signals for use as on signal diagrams? I have also shown samples of gantry signals ... 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 ...

Your image must be heavily compressed in the JPG file to go from 297 MB in the bitmap down to only 3.89 MB in the file. It is the bitmap size which Templot has to deal with internally after expanding the file, and 297 MB is on the large side of normal expectations. Your screenshot shows it to be 20513 x 5076 pixels. There are several things you can try. The obvious one is to resize it in Photoshop to a smaller size. If you reduce it to say 33% ...

To 95% of users, does it matter that what is stored is raw data, and not a complete template, as an image like a jpg would be? I suspect, and contest, that it does not.
