View: Bitmaps

Bitmaps (.BMP files) may be placed as objects or buttons in your form. This allows you to have endless variety and creativity in the form design process.

Note: Bitmap files used in SURVEYWin must be smaller than 32 kilobytes. Design the bitmap in a grapics program and save it in the directory where SURVEYWin is located. It is best to use standard colors and save the file as a 16 color bitmap. Before you can use your bitmap, you must add it to your bitmap library.

Adding a file to your bitmap library:

  1. From the main design screen, click on the Mona Lisa icon.
  2. After the blank bitmap screen appears, select File | New.
  3. Choose the bitmap file that you wish to add to your bitmap library and select OK. Repeat this process as necessary to add more files to your bitmap library. Any file that you add to your bitmap library can be converted into a button in SURVEYWin.

Converting a bitmap to a button:

  1. Select a question in your form (or create a new one)
  2. Select Response | Modify response.
  3. In the resulting Compose responses window click on the button that you want to change into a bitmap.
  4. Select File | Bitmaps and your bitmap library will appear on the screen. Select the bitmap that you want and click Apply/OK.
  5. The bitmap will appear where the button used to be.
  6. To resize the actual button behind the bitmap, click on the squares surrounding the button and resize as necessary.

Note: The bitmap that you have chosen cannot be resized within SURVEYWin. This may be done in any typical paint program.
