Issue:
This FAQ describes the proper methods for importing PNG images into Vijeo Designer, ensuring transparency is preserved and preventing any unwanted background from being added.
Product:
Vijeo Designer v6.2, v6.3
Environment:
HMI Configuration Software in Windows
Resolution:
When you copy an image from an application like MS Paint or the Windows default photo viewer using Ctrl + C, the image is placed in the Windows clipboard as a bitmap. A bitmap does not support transparency, so when you paste it, the transparent background is lost.
To preserve transparency in Vijeo Designer, you must either:
- Drag and drop the PNG file directly into the screen.
- Add an image object and select the PNG file.
This ensures Vijeo Designer reads the PNG format, including its transparency information, and converts it into a format suitable for display on the panel.
