Loading the image

To load the image for editing use the method: loadImage(url), for example:

    painter.loadImage('some_image.gif');

The image is loaded to the DrawArea. If the image size exceeds the DrawArea it is cropped at the right and bottom sides. If the image size is less than the DrawArea size it is positioned at the upper-left corner.

Loading the background image

The background image is a separate image displayed underneath the main (editable) image. To load the background image use the method: loadBackgroundImage(url), for example:

    painter.loadBackgroundImage('picture.jpg');
