Ignition perspective - Using Coordinate container to try and set a background image.

Image is a .svg file generated from a CAD DXF file.

Image is named "Assembly\_conveyor\_layout.svg"

Image was uploaded into image management folder, under an assembly sub folder

The image is visible in the image management window, so there is not an issue with the ignition recognizing the file.

In image management, by selecting the "Copy mounted path" I get the following output:

/system/images/assembly/Assembly\_conveyor\_layout.svg

In the Coordinate Container -\> Props -\> Styles -\> BackgroundImage, I have it set to:

url("/system/images/assembly/Assembly\_conveyor\_layout.svg")

But no Image is displayed in the container.

Tried revising syntax multiple times, but still am unable to get the image to display..

Try it without the url function:  
`/system/images/assembly/Assembly_conveyor_layout.svg`

Was not a syntax of file issue, was a property issue.

I was able to get the image to display properly by setting direction: Column

Items: Stretch

Justify: Flex Start

Children: Don't Wrap

If children was set to wrap or items was set to anything but stretch, the image would not show.
