==== Creating a New Image (Bitmap, Cursor or Icon) ====

To create and register a new image (a bitmap, an icon or a cursor) in a project you need to use the '''File | New''' menu item. In the opened '''New''' dialog you should select the '''Bitmap''', the '''Icon''' or the '''Cursor''' type of creating item. Then the following dialog (in case if you have selected the '''Bitmap''') appears:

[[Image:Ide_GE_MyBitmap.png|center|frame|'''Creating a new bitmap image''']]

In this dialog you should specify the following items:

'''Name'''
:In this dialog you should type in the '''Name''' which will be associated with this image in the code generated by default. This '''Name''' should be a correct Visual Prolog name. It should be any sequence of letters, digits, and underscores, beginning with a letter. This is the name of the creating image. It appears as the names of image files in the project tree in the Project window.

'''Package'''
:With the '''Package''' selection the programmer can determine into directory of which package will be placed the image file.

==== Image (Bitmap) Attributes Dialog ====

After you press the '''OK''' button in the '''New Bitmap''' dialog, the '''Bitmap Attributes''' dialog appears. The similar dialogs appear in case if you will create a cursor or an icon.

[[Image:Ide_GE_BitmapAttributes.png|center|frame|'''The Bitmap Attributes dialog while creation of a new bitmap''']]

After clicking the '''OK''' button the new bitmap will be created and its name will be added to the existing bitmaps for the current project.

The similar (but little simpler) dialogs appear when you create a new Icon:

[[Image:Ide_GE_IconAttributes.png|center|frame|'''The Icon Attributes dialog while creation of a new icon''']]

and a new Cursor:

[[Image:Ide_GE_CursorAttributes.png|center|frame|'''The Cursor Attributes dialog while creation of a new cursor''']]

In these dialogs you can change only the '''Constant''' attribute. The attributes '''Name''' and '''File''' are generated automatically and cannot be changed by the programmer.

'''Name'''
:This is the '''Name''' which was specified for the image in the previous '''New''' dialog. It cannot be changed here.

'''File'''
:Here you will see the name of file, with the path relative to the project root directory, in which the image will be stored. This filename is generated automatically by the IDE and cannot be changed.

'''Constant'''
:The constant is used to identify the image in your program. An image identifier must be unique throughout the project.
:<br />You can either input it directly from the keyboard or allow the IDE to create a default value.

The default values for constants are:

{|{{prettytable}}
|-
! Image Type
! Constant
|-
| ''Bitmap''
| '''''idb_bitmap_name'''''
|-
| ''Icon''
| '''''idi_icon_name'''''
|-
| ''Cursor''
| '''''idc_cursor_name'''''
|}

Constant must be either legal symbolic constant name (for example, '''idb_MyBitmap''') or an integer. The IDE automatically places the symbolic identifier into the '''ResourceIdentifiers.i''' file and generates an integer value for it. The Graphics Editor automatically concatenates a sequence number if the project already has an image with the same name.

In case of Icons and Cursors this is the only attribute which can be edited in this dialog.

In case when you create a new bitmap, you can specify several additional attributes:

'''Width and Height'''
:Defines the Width and Height of the bitmap in pixels. The maximal possible values are 64.

:You may specify the size of the image for bitmaps only. The Graphics Editor allows you to create and edit bitmaps ranging in size from 4x4 pixels to 64x64 pixels.

The size of icons and cursors is always 32x32.

'''Colors'''
:In this field you may specify using of either a 16-color palette or monochrome shadow palette for bitmaps and icons. Remember that for creating cursor images only 2 colors are available - the color black and transparent for background "color".

==== Editing Image Attributes ====

You can always wake up (with the '''Resource | Attribute''' task menu item or with the '''Attribute''' item from pop up menu) the '''Bitmap/Cursor/Icon Attributes''' dialog for the created bitmap, cursor or icon to view and change some image attributes.

Notice that the appeared '''Bitmap Attributes''' dialog for an existing bitmap will display less bitmap attributes then it has for created bitmaps:

[[Image:Ide_GE_ExistingBitmapAttributes.png|center|frame|'''The Bitmap Attributes dialog for an existing bitmap''']]

You see that for existing bitmap the dialog does not contain the '''Width''', '''Height''', and '''Color''' attributes.

The only image attribute that you can edit is the '''Constant'''.:

'''Constant'''
:In the '''Constant''' list edit the programmer can change the default resource constant for the image (at the picture it is '''''idb_mybitmap''''').
