Visual to display image

[vidyadutt]

Hello Experts,

I'm looking for a visual that can display an image from database. Currently I'm displaying the image using Table visual, however, the size of the image is much smaller than I want, and I cannot make it bigger beyond a limit. I also require to export the final output to a pdf file. I tried many custom visuals but none of them serve the purpose. "Simple Image" is the best I could get but when I switch pages, the image disappears. Has anyone faced this issue, and which visual works the best in this scenario?

Regards,

Finally I'm using "Simple Image" visual, and most of the time I achieve what I want. I see the image based on the condition that I have set, though at times, it shows the image when the condition fails. But then I visit another page and come back and I get the desired result. I assume it's a bug but currently this visual works for me.

Hi @vidyadutt ,

I usually use the Table visualization on this type of request (haven't had many must admit), but it works to my needs.

I have two questions regarding your post:

... and I cannot make it bigger beyond a limit

I assume you are refering to the Image Heigth in the grid that goes to a maximum value of 150 correct?

I tried many custom visuals but none of them serve the purpose. "Simple Image" is the best I could get but when I switch pages, the image disappears.

 Got me lost in when you switch pages the image disappears?

Can you give more insights on what is the expected result and limitations.

Again I haven't add many requests around images

Hi @MFelix,

Thank you. Here are the clarifications, and sorry for not being clear enough at the first palce.

I meant by "I cannot make it bigger" is both height and width. I have limitation in increasing the height as the image I use is a signature and it should be placed at a particular location on the page. And the signature appears very small when I use table visual and increasing the column or table width doesn't help.

And about disappearing image - 

I have two pages in the report and there is signature on both the pages. When I navigate between the pages, the signature that was already visible disappears. I can see signature on Page 1, then I go to Page 2 and I see signature there as well. But when I come back to Page 1, there is no signature.

However, when I was trying it today, "Simple Image" visual did not give me any problem. It shows signature on both the pages even though I navigate between the pages. So, currently I'm using Simple Image unless someone else suggests a better visual to meet this requirement.
