The articles in this section of the Knowledge Base involve working with Images for display in your reports. To learn more about Images, and how to access the Image component within the Report Designer, see Loading Images in Report Designer. This article provides an overview of the Image Stretch Property.
Occasionally an Image component is bigger than the actual image meant to fill it. This is when the Stretch property can be used to improve the look of your report.
The Stretch property is located in the properties of an Image component.
