  • Image source - Use the Load button to load a still image into Composer. If an image has been loaded, but the file has been modified, you can use the Reload button to refresh the image in Composer. Use the Clear button to unload the image.

  • Options:

    • Auto reload on file modified - If enabled, Composer will automatically reload the image if any modifications have been made to the source file. The check of file changes occurs every 5:th seconds. Auto reload currently only supports absolute file paths.

    • Enable interaction -  If Interactive mode is enabled for the project, an image can be made interactive. Clicking the image can trigger a script function. This is only useful when running Composer in 'Interactive mode'.

    • Script function name - If interaction is enabled and the image is clicked, the defined script function is executed in the script engine.

    • Script function parameter - When calling the script function, include the parameters in the call.

    • Message - Information/error messages

    • Height - Image height (pixels)
