Image Management in Quaestor

Quaestor has Quaestor has the ability to deal with- and present binary information, such as pictures, in the knowledge browser and Workbase using the QBinaries object. In the following, we briefly describe the current possibilities for using binary data in the knowledge base and in solutions focussing on the use of images (Click on QBinaries for a detailed description how to create and fill the QBinaries object).

...

So if you include FigureX.gif and you write in the data slot: @PICTURE:FigureX.gif Quaestor will gif Quaestor will first save the binary and than show it as the picture.

...

For instance, the fifth case value of ConfigType$ is separated:5 in which 5 is considered to be a Dataset.QBinaries.QBinaryID reference to an image. In this example, the Dataset.Optionsobject is data source to an |OPTIONS| script for parameter OPTIONS#, a TeLiTab set in which all elements of a case of Dataset.Options will be its value. The |OPTIONS| script is discussed in a separate article Data use and management in Quaestor in Quaestor.

The |OPTIONS| script results in invoking a list view including a browser component that will present the referred to image per parameter that is proposed in the list view. This allows a stepwise selection of a database record supported by images that are context sensitive, i.e. for each step in the selection process, it now possible to present relevant graphical images(, spreadsheet, pfd documents, etc).
