Fellow Maptituders:
If you're like me, one of the last things you do when creating a
layout is to place a bitmap or jpeg logo on the page so that everyone
will know who made the map. And you've probably been frustrated by how
hard it is to get the logo looking "right" using the GUI: the
"freehand bitmap" tool always wants to size the image to the dimension
of the rectangle that you dragged and not to the actual size of the
image.
The good folks at Caliper will hopefully fix this in the
long-anticipated version 5.0 (anyone want to leak us a release date?),
and hopefully 5.0 will allow you to place formats that aren't as lossy
(I'd love to be able to insert an .eps with a bounding box). But I
couldn't wait any longer, so I developed an "Insert Image" macro. It's
not much to look at, and it only does one thing (insert an image into
a layout). But it has made my life much easier. I'm posting it to the
"files" area in case others find it useful. The macro doesn't require
any "administrative settings," so you can compile it as an add-in. I
considered posting it compiled, but decided to include the code in the
spirit of open-source.
Enjoy.
