Description: Captures db as an Image Object. The optional Scale argument will render the image at a scaled resolution. Scaling requires that the display box be stretchable. The Type argument determines whether the result will be a scalable vector image or a bitmap. By default a scalable image is returned, which is suitable for saving to vector formats like PDF. The View option changes the behavior of some boxes. The default option of "Picture" draws the report as it would when exporting to an image format, with scrolled areas fully shown. View mode of "Screen" draws the report as seen on-screen, and "Print" draws the report as it does when printing, without any of the page setup features. The SubRect option will capture a portion of the resulting image rather than a full image. The Appearance option can change from the "Default" output colors to the "Current" colors as seen on-screen. The View, SubRect, and Appearance options are only supported for Type "Bitmap".

Description: Saves a picture of the display box. Supported formats are EMF(Windows), PICT(Macintosh), JPEG or JPG, GIF, or PNG. The optional Scale argument will render the image at a scaled resolution. Scaling requires that the display box be stretchable. The Type argument determines whether the result will be a scalable vector image or a bitmap. By default a scalable image is returned, which is suitable for saving to vector formats like PDF. The View option changes the behavior of some boxes. The default option of "Picture" draws the report as it would when exporting to an image format, with scrolled areas fully shown. View mode of "Screen" draws the report as seen on-screen, and "Print" draws the report as it does when printing, without any of the page setup features. The SubRect option will capture a portion of the resulting image rather than a full image. The Appearance option can change from the "Default" output colors to the "Current" colors as seen on-screen. The View, SubRect, and Appearance options are only supported for Type "Bitmap".
