> You want the [ImageLoader](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/795/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/client/images/ImageLoader.html) class. Usage would be something like: from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.images import ImageLoader myImage = ImageLoader.getInstance().loadImage("path/to/image.png") #java Image class myImageBytes = ImageLoader.getInstance().loadBytes("path/to/image.png") #byte array of image data

Not sure which would be better, they both look like they take the same sorts of arguments.
