MicroStrategy ONE

Property List: Image properties

Appearance

  • Name: identifies the control.

  • 3D effect: sets whether the image appears flat/two-dimensional or three-dimensional. The options are:

    • None

    • Sunken

    • Raised

      The 3D effect border takes precedence over any existing border. If you later disable the 3D effect, the original border settings are restored.

  • 3D weight: sets the weight of the three-dimensional borders around the image.

  • Border: opens the Border tab of the Format Objects dialog box, which allows you to set the style and color of the borders around the image.

  • Drop shadow: sets whether the image uses a drop shadow for a floating effect.

  • Drop shadow depth: sets the weight of the drop shadow borders around the image.

  • Tooltip: contains the pop-up text that is displayed when a user positions the cursor over this control in MicroStrategy Web.

  • Visible: determines whether the image is displayed when a user views the document. By default, it is visible.

    Even when this property is set to False, the control is still visible in Design View.

Image

  • Image source: contains the location of the image file.

    If you change the image source, the image control is automatically resized to the default size of the new image.

Navigation

  • Is hyperlink: specifies whether the image is a hyperlink to the location specified in the Hyperlink property. By default, images are not hyperlinks.

  • Link: is available only when the Is hyperlink property is set to True. This is the destination of the hyperlink or drill link.

  • Open in new window: specifies whether the hyperlink opens in the same window as the current document or in a new window. By default, it opens in a new window.

    This setting affects HTML View only.

Position

  • Left: sets the distance between the left edge of the image and the left border of the section.

  • Top: sets the distance between the top edge of the image and the top of the section.

  • Locked: determines whether the control can be resized or moved.

    This is useful when a document template contains an object that should not be moved or resized inadvertently when multiple objects are selected at the same time. For basic information on templates, see Creating document templates; for instructions to select multiple objects simultaneously, see Selecting multiple controls simultaneously.

    The lock functionality only applies to MicroStrategy Web. You can select or clear the Locked property in MicroStrategy Developer, but the control can still be sized or moved in MicroStrategy Developer.

Size

  • Height: sets the height of the image.

  • Lock aspect ratio, which determines whether the image retains its original width-to-height ratio.

  • Width: sets the width of the image.
