Image Options

Image options descriptions
Option Description
Representation

The following alternatives are given:

Text
When selecting this option the expression values will always be interpreted and displayed as text.

Image

When selecting this option QlikView will try to interpret each expression value as a reference to an image. The reference may be a path to an image file on disk (e.g. C:\Mypic.jpg) or inside the QlikView document (e.g. qmem://<Name>/<Peter>). If QlikView cannot interpret an expression value as a valid image reference, the value itself will be displayed.

Info as Image
When selecting this option QlikView will display image info linked to the field value via info load/select in the script. If no image info is available for a field value, the value itself will be displayed, unless the Hide Text When Image Missing box is checked. The option is not available for bitmap charts.

Image Formatting Only available when the image options have been selected above. This setting describes how QlikView formats the image to fit in the cell. There are four alternatives.
No Stretch
If this option is selected, the image will be shown as is, without any stretching. This may cause parts of the picture to be invisible or only part of the cell to be filled.
Fill
If this option is selected, the image will be stretched to fit the cell without bothering about keeping the aspect ratio of the image.
Keep Aspect
If this option is selected, the image will be stretched as far as possible to fill the cell while keeping the aspect ratio. This typically results in areas either on both sides of or above and below which are not filled by the image.
Fill with Aspect
If this option is selected, the image will be stretched to fill the cell in both directions while keeping the aspect ratio. This typically results in cropping of the image in one direction.
Hide Text When Image Missing If this option is selected, QlikView will not display the field value text if interpretation as an image reference fails for some reason. The cell will then be left blank.
Selection Style Override When images are shown instead of text it may be necessary to use another selection style than the document default so that the logical state of the field values remains visible. Use the drop-down list under Selection Style Override to select a suitable selection style, e.g. Corner Tag.

Search Options

This group allows you to control certain aspects of text search applicable to opened multi boxes and drop-down select in tables.
