Picture

In addition to gradients and patterns, OrgChart allows you to place pictures on a component. Imagine not just having the name of a friend on your chart, but their photo as well! The possibilities are limitless – and the Picture tab on the Fill Style menu is where you can make it happen (see below):

Picture: Accessing the picture menu

1. Select a component or border.
2. Do one of the following:
3. Go to the Home tab, Fill Style, Fill Effect.
4. Right-click in the chart to launch a pop– up menu. When the menu appears, go to Format > Fill Style.
5. Right-click in the chart to launch a pop– up menu. When the menu appears, go to Format > Border Style. Once in the Border Style menu, click the Fill button.
6. When the Fill Style menu appears, click the Picture tab.

Picture: Import and manipulation

1. Picture – this preview window allows you to see your choice before commit­ting it to the on-screen component.
2. Browse – click this button to browse to your picture’s location.
3. Style – this dropdown menu provides different choices for your picture’s ori­entation and dimensions. They are as follows:
   • Tile – this takes pictures that are too small and repeats them to fill the frame.
   • Flip Horizontally – this flips a picture horizontally.
   • Flip Vertically – this flips a picture vertically.
   • Flip Horizontally and Vertically – this creates a mixed flip for an inter­esting effect.
   • Center – this takes a picture and centers it in the frame.
   • Stretch – this takes a picture that is too small and stretches it to fit the frame (so it doesn’t need to be tiled).
   • Clear – this removes the chosen picture (and simultaneously clears the preview window).
   • Tint Color – this area allows the imported picture to be tinted in different hues. It includes:
   • Tint Color – this is a tiny preview window that displays the color selected in Pick Color.
   • Pick Color –this opens a palette of available tinting hues.
   • Intensity – this is very similar to transparency, except it dictates how strongly the tint color affects the imported picture.
   • Transparency – these sliders determine the picture’s transparency. On the slider scale, the left end equals 100% opacity and right end equals 100% trans­parency.
