In-line graphic question

I need to do a variation on the in-line graphic rule.

 

I need to insert a signature graphic into 2 Formatted Text Resources but the graphic is not named in my data file and is the same signature for each record anyway. The 2 resources are differing versions of a letter using the same signature.

 

The In-Line Graphic Rule in the wizard seems a little complicated for what I am trying to do. Is there an easier way to do this?

Eric,

 

You can write a simple JS rule to achieve this. Since you are doing a graphic return that is "in-line" in a block of text, this would be a TEXT rule that you would create.

 

Add the graphic as a resource to your template. Then, you can refer to it in that text rule. Something like:

 

return "<graphic file=signature.jpg>";

 

Note that you can control the size of the graphic with "width" and "height" attributes in that Graphic tag. This measurement is in hundredths of a point (7200hpt = 1in).

 

You can find additional info about this tag in the "Graphic Tag Inside Story Tag" section of the tags reference guide.

Thanks. That did the trick.

What if the inline graphic is variable? Then you won't know the name of the image.

return '<graphic file="' + Field("YourFieldName") + '">';
