Using image files
You can add any external image file to the PageOUT sheet. When you add this type of image, you must specify the path to the image.
The image added to the PageOUT sheet in this case is only an empty container for the image file, which means the actual image is not displayed on the sheet. The width and height of the image container is not determined by the image you want to add. This means you must specify the width and height manually – either by using static values or variables.
