Picture Frame

The PictureFrame command draws a rectangular planar surface with the specified image assigned to its material and sets the object to Rendered display mode similar to using the SetObjectDisplayMode command.

Steps

Select a bitmap file.

File types accepted are:

JPEG (.jpg; .jpeg)
PNG (.png)
PCX (.pcx)
Targa (.tga)
TIFF (.tif; .tiff)
Windows Bitmap (.bmp)

Pick a corner of the plane.
Pick or type the length.
The plane retains the same aspect (length to width) ratio as the image.

Edit PictureFrame objects with the object's Material Properties.

Command-line options
Vertical	Draws the picture frame plane vertical to the current construction plane.
SelfIllumination	Causes the image to always display at full intensity and is not affected by light or shadow. Self-Illumination off (left), and on (right).
EmbedBitmap	Stores the image in the .3dm file. This increases the file size, but ensures that the image is always available to the picture frame surface.
Autoname	Automatically assigns the image name to be the Material property for the picture frame surface.
AlphaTransparency	Uses the image alpha channel transparency to either show the object color through the transparency or to make the object transparent. AlphaTransparency=No (left) and AlphaTransparency=Yes (right).
