Tutorial: Border Workshop
298
When you add a graphic to a border template, click the Lookup button to add a
graphic variable. There are predefined variables for background and logo graphics.
Use these if you have graphics in your catalogs with a property of
graphic
and a value
of
background
or
logo
. If you want to specify a variable for a graphic property of a
different value, choose ―Graphic‖ from the graphic lookup menu and replace the
question marks in the Graphic field with a value you use in your photo data. When you
apply the border to a photo, the application looks in the catalog for the graphic
having the value you specified in the variable and applies it to the border.
For example, you want to create a border for membership ID cards. Your catalogs
contain a graphic with photo data of
graphic=idcard
. You want this border to use the
graphic
photo property of the value
idcard
, so you choose ―Graphic‖ from the graphic
lookup menu and replace the question marks with
idcard
. Your catalog contains an ID
card graphic, and its photo data indicates the graphic value is
idcard.
When you apply
your ID card border to a photo, the application finds the graphic named
idcard
and
applies it to the border.
Query Variables

Type value. When the search finds that photo or graphic in the current catalog, the
application inserts the photo into the border. For example, you might have a group
photo, like a team photo, in your catalog and you want it to always be applied to a
