Question About Background Image Options (Read 1959 times)

	I have two quick questions about the background image property. 1) Currently there are "fit" and "stretch" options and it looks like the first option force the image to fit to the diagram width. Is there a way to make it fit to the height instead? 2) Is there a way to adjust the background image opacity? Thanks, Ben

	Hi Ben, 1) The Fit option fits either the width or height, depending on the width/height ratios of the diagram and the image. 2) There isn't. Instead, you might add an Image control as a node via a DiagramNodeAdapter, set the control's Opacity property, set its ZIndex = 0 and Locked = true. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	That's a clever solution! However, is there an easy way to make this background node not affected by the diagram.Arrange() command? Edit: Ah, I just realized that there is an overload of that method to define only the items that you want to arrange.

	It should be easier to set the background node's IgnoreLayout property, instead of specifying all other items ... I hope that helps, Stoyan
