Creating a custom background image

Create and apply your own non-georeferenced images for the graphic view background. Acceptable formats are PNG, JPG and GIF.

1. Create the image that you want to use as a background in a graphical editor and save as a .png, .jpg, or .gif file, using a one-word name (underscores are acceptable), and all lowercase if the Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal Server is on Linux or operating systems such as UNIX.
2. Copy the image to: Install_dir\cnb (Windows); cw (Linux)\classes\candle\fw\resources\backgrounds\user.
3. After adding the graphic view to a workspace, click Properties.
4. Click the middle (plot area) of the thumbnail graphic.
5. In the Background area, click Image.
6. If you want the image to shrink or expand to fit the full view space, select Fit to view
   If you leave this option cleared, the image will retain its original size; if it is larger than the view space, scroll bars are displayed; if it is smaller than the view space, it will be placed at the top left corner with white space fill-in.
7. Click Browse, and select the image that you created from the list of images under background/users.
8. Click Apply if you can see the graphic view is showing behind the window and want to see how your image will look in the view space.
