Lines over image

Postby nc1264 » Thu Nov 13, 2008 4:32 pm

I want to draw a line over an (PNG-format) image. I therefor insert the image and then draw the line over it. When viewing the document, however, the image is always over the line.

How can I achieve this? Can I use transparent images?

I'm using VPE3.5 Enterprise Edition.

You must be doing something wrong. If you insert a picture object first and afterwards a line, then the line is above the image. Transparency is not supported.

You are right I am doing this wrong.
The definition of the label is held in a table. When creating the label the data is sorted and this causes the logo to be printed before the rest of the text and therefor behind the label.

I have changed the sequence where ordering is different. This causes the logo to be printed before the rest and it looks great.

Thanks!
