CITECT SCADA 2018 - Import the transparent picture in the Graphic Builder

Hello everyone

Now I am trying to import the transparent picture (PNG) into a page in Graphics Builder. But the *.PNG type are not supported the alpha channel according to the contents of this link "https://gcsresource.aveva.com/Citect/WebHelp/citect2018/Content/Import_Graphics.html"

As I know the alpha channel is a special channel that handles transparency. So, I would like to know how can I import the transparent picture in Citect?

I already tried 2 other ways, but the result is not successful.

1st: I tried to convert the PNG to a JPG file and import it again, but the background of the imported one is black and a part of the picture is missed. (the result same as PNG file)

2nd: I imported the PNG file (with the white background), and use the function "Swap color" from white to transparent. But the result is not 100% is transferred, maybe 60% or 70%.

Is there a special requirement or setting in Citect to do this? 

 

Thanks and best regards

Canh

  • Hello Canh
    Not very happy with solution, but...
    - Replace the transparent with a color not used in the image
    - Convert to bmp with final size needed (bitmap not compressed, to keep the color of every bit)
    - Import the bmp
    - swap the color replaced to transparent

    (waiting for the new vectorial graphics that may also cover this subject)
    Regards
