l
Library: Opens the device's default library or gallery application to select a single image
that is then saved in the form data. The accessible images and navigation depend on the
device itself.
l
Clear: Removes any existing image data from the Camera element.
To omit the Take now or Library button, edit the Camera element's properties: right-click the
Camera element after adding it to the form, select Camera properties and then use the Source
drop-down to select which buttons will be available: Take, Pick from library, or both.
Annotations
Annotations can make a picture much more informative: an arrow, showing in which direction a
car was driving; a circle, where the car has been damaged... To allow the user to make
annotations, right-click the Camera element after adding it to the form, select Camera
properties, and then check Allow annotations.
Clicking (or rather, touching) the image will bring up the annotation dialog. Annotations can be
made in a Marker (semi-transparent) or Pencil (solid) style, in different colors and with different
widths.
Annotations are submitted in SVG format by a hidden input added to the Camera element. The
name of that input is the ID of the Camera element, followed by "-note-data", for example
camera1-note-data.
Cropping/editing
To allow the user to crop or edit the image after taking or selecting it, select Camera
properties, and then check Edit Images. Which editing options the user actually gets depends
on the operating system of the device. On an Android device for example, the user may be able
only to crop the image, while the user of an iOS device may select part of the image and rotate
that selection.
Image format
You can set the format, quality and scaling for images that are submitted by the Camera
element. Right-click the Camera element after adding it to the form, select Camera properties
and edit the Image properties:
l
Format: The image format can be PNG or JPG.
l
Quality: Set the compression in a percentage.
