Option

Description

Background image file

Lists the file name and path of the selected image file.

Browse..

Allows you to browse for the image to use in the image layer.

Extent Settings...

Opens the Extent Settings dialog where you can specify the extent of the image by providing values for Y high, Y low, X low and X high.

The default extent of an image is set to the extent of the current data range.

Tip: To help defining the extent of the image, you can filter the data which should be placed on the image before you add the image. For example, if you have a feature layer showing shapes you can filter out all shapes except for Africa and then add the image. This will automatically add the image behind (or over) the Africa shapes.

Include in auto-zoom

Select this check box to always see the entire extent of the image, even if filtering of a data layer hides data points on a part of the image.

Clear the check box to ignore this layer in the auto-zoom operations.

Include in reset view extent

Select this check box to make sure that the entire image in this layer is visible when you select reset navigation in the map chart. For more information, see Zooming and Navigating in the Map Chart.

Coordinate reference system

Allows you to specify the coordinate reference system for the Image Layer. For more information, see What are Coordinate Reference Systems?.

Other

Opens the Coordinate Reference Systems dialog that allows you to select a coordinate reference system not available in the drop-down list.
