Inserting Graphics, Shapes and Text Blocks

In addition to placing different types of data areas on report sheets, the Reports tool supports adding various objects.

The objects can be:

Static. For example, picture.
Interactive. Fro example, speedometer.

To manage interactive objects, the user needs to activate them, that is, to execute a specific operation, for example, double-click on the object, or hover over it with the mouse pointer.

The Reports tool supports placing of the following object types:

Image. Bitmaps and vector pictures in the following formats: BMP, GIF, PNG, JPG, and so on.
Shapes. Predefined shapes: lines, polygons, figured arrows, callouts, and so on.
Speedometer. An indicator that shows data as a speedometer on numeric panel.
3D scene. It shows data as surfaces, planes, closed surfaces, spheres, and so on in a 3D scene.
Text block. A block of formatted text that is used to define formatting of report comment.

All objects have both standard properties and specific properties that depend on the object type.
