Importing Bitmap (bmp) files as a source

Question

Is it possible that TracePro can import a BMP file (i.e. a color picture ) as a light source? and what should I do?

Synopsis

Importing Bitmap (bmp) files as a source

Solution

There is an optional Bitmap Source Module that can be used to create source files from bmp and other image files, and then the source files can be used in TracePro. If you insert the TracePro CD (Rel. 2.3 and later), you will find a Bitmap Module folder. Clicking on setup.exe initiates the installation process. Once installed, you can access the application from the Start Menu, by selecting Programs / TracePro / Bitmap Source. The Bitmap Source will run with limited functionality without a license. For a full license for this module, contact Lambda Research or your representative. Also note that the Bitmap Source Module User's Manual is also available from the CD in pdf format.
