Masking an image in reports

Ignition
1

I'm building a report and I have an image that I want to apply a circular mask to. I tried the radius and it looks like it draws underneath the image. I also tried using a circle shape component and setting the z level higher but I'm not having any luck getting the transparency to "flip", as in a transparent center with a filled border to the bounds of the box.

Has anyone tried this with any success?

Something like this?

I was looking for the opposite.

I did figure out a way to do it: place a rectangle give it some fill, add a circle then use the difference tool to subtract the circle from the rectangle and use that combined shape as a mask for the image

edit: You've got me curious though, what's the method for your example?

  1. Draw a rectangle
  2. Draw an ellipse on top of it
  3. Make the difference, should an ellipse out of the rectangle
  4. Drop an image on the newly formed shape
  5. This should result in a popup, and chose Texture.
  6. Enable Fill on the shape to display the image.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do, but if it’s just to apply a circular mask. Then you can drop an image on the ellipse itself:

The negative about this, is that it doesn’t appear that you can scale or adjust the offset of the image.

We're trying to make an employee badge and make their picture into a circle instead of a rectangle.

edit: what do you mean by drop an image onto the shape?
edit2: I figured out the dropping of an image onto the shape. It seems to only work if I drag and drop from a folder. I don't get the popup when dragging from image management.

Also, how could I use this to set the picture dynamically? The picture would be coming from the database/blob storage.
