Adding an InlineGraphic

Make sure that the image you want to insert is available on your system.

This procedure explains how to add an image into a document using the InlineGraphic, which embeds the image file into the REQ file.

In the Requirements Editor tool, open the REQ file and navigate to the desired position in the document.
Right-click the element and select Insert Element Before/After > InlineGraphic.
Right-click the newly inserted InlineGraphic element and select Choose Picture.
In the Open dialog that appears, navigate to the location of the image file to be assigned to the InlineGraphic and click Open. The image appears in the REQ Outline Editor tab.

Note: The Open dialog filters the file types to display only: .jpeg, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .png, and .bmp
Right-click the InlineGraphic element and select Add Attribute > Alternate Text. This is a best practice for ADA Compliance.
Enter a description of the graphic image that would describe the image to someone listening to the document being read to them.
There are other optional attributes available for InlineGraphics; Height, TagType and Width. The values for the Height and Width attributes are a numeric value followed by a unit of measure. Example: Entering .5in for the Height attribute value would reduce the image to only consume space of one half inch high. TagType allows you to select how the image should be formatted on the page; automatically in the context of the line or as an H2 through H6.
The image appears in the Outline Editor tab and appears in the document when assembled.
