Adding Images to Report

kosta

Hello BIRT community,

which method is the best for adding images to the BIRT report. With best I mean so that the BIRT engine can present them faster and the images shouldn't take too much space.
I saw that the Embedded methods puts the binary (base64) into the XML.
The dynamic image method is used when the image comes from DB. In this case I don't need to use this.
What about the URI method and the Image File in shared Folder?

How can I use them when I am using the BIRT API instead of the Report Designer.
I saw something about adding resource path to the config object needed for the engine.

Thank you for the help.

You can do it this way<br />
config = new EngineConfig( ); <br />
config.setBIRTHome("C:\\birt\\birt-runtime-2_6_1\\birt-runtime-2_6_1\\ReportEngine");<br />
config.setResourcePath("C:\\work\\workspaces\\APIs\\Reports");
