The Picture primitive is used to display one of a number of images, based upon
an optional data value. The images may be manipulated in various ways, and may
be moved within the primitive according to internal or external data values.
The primitive provides exhaustive facilities for displaying bitmaps, JPEG picture, or metafiles
images from Fieldbus Gateway Manager’s extensive image library or from third-party clipart
providers. Five separate tabbed pages control the various options.
