Additional Information
• The imported figure is embedded in the MI file format. In the MI file, the pixel data will be handled in a special section as ASCII characters.
• The imported image maintains its aspect ratio.
• If two images overlap each other, you can use 
Level in the Picture group on the Modify tab to move the image forwards or backwards. Click a non-overlapping area to select the image. Alternatively, type the name in the user input line and press ENTER.

 | Change the color of the overlapping geometry. |
• Plotting of images is supported by raster-based plotters only (for example, plotters supporting PostScript or HP-GL/2 plus RTL). Images are ignored on non-supported plotters.
• IGES and DXF/DWG translators do not translate pictures by default and report a warning message in the log file when pictures are skipped.
• The Store Pixel Data switch in the IGESo.conf file allows storage of picture to separate files.
• When a picture is loaded, the size of the picture (in current units) is determined by the factor (current_viewport->factor which is number of current units per pixel). Hence the actual size of the image depends on the current value of the zoom factor.
• When an image with more colors than supported by the hardware is loaded and subsequently saved, loss of color occurs. For example, if an image containing 1500 colors is loaded on a machine which can display only 256 colors and saved, only 256 out of the 1500 colors are saved in the MI file. (The pixels with the lost colors are mapped to the nearest available color in the color table.) This changes the size of the MI file once a load and save is done across different platforms (with different number of bitplanes) without any deletion of data (image contents) in the file.
