This dialog box allows you to define a filling style based on an image.

Select the image

To select the image, click the Open button. The dialog box for selecting the file appears. The image can be reflected horizontally by clicking the Flip X button and vertically by clicking the Flip Y button.

Image arrangement

The options in the Wrap box allow you to define how the image should fill the area. Selecting Clamp the area will be filled with a single occurrence of the image otherwise the area will be filled with multiple occurrences arranged side-by-side on multiple rows and reflected horizontally and/or vertically.

In the Angle box you can specify the rotation angle of the image.

The origin of the image can be defined by setting the values of the boxes Dx and Dy in the group Displacement.

Image size

If the layout of the image is different from Clamp, the width of the image can be relative to the area to be filled or absolute.

To define a relative size, check the Relative sizes option and specify the dimensions in the boxes Width and Height. The dimensions are in percentage of the area to be filled If the Keep aspect ratio option is selected then the resized image will have the same proportions as the original one otherwise it can be deformed vertically or horizontally..

To define an absolute size, remove the checkmark from the Relative sizes option and specify the dimensions in the boxes Width and Height. Dimensions are in millimetres.
