The Element Properties dialog for a line element only contains general properties – see Editing General Properties.

Select this option if the image is loaded from a file rather than calculated by the system (see below). Press the Browse button to specify the image file (must be gif or jpeg format).

If you want borders around the image, click on the Borders property of the element and select “Display borders” radio button. The values you need to specify are the same as for the borders of the text element.

Select this option if the image element is calculated by a scriptlet plug-in. You must also specify the scriptlet’s module – see Setting System Calculation Properties.

This property allows you to rotate an image by 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counterclockwise and 180 degrees.
