Syntax @_LOADimages/myimage.gif
Description This command instructs PopChart Server to return the specified image. It will not generate any images, and any commands that pertain to image generation will be ignored.
The argument to the command should be the path to and name of the image file that should be returned. The path is relative to the document root. Alternatively you can specify an absolute path.
Important: Because of the way PopChart Server returns the image, you must make sure that PopChart Server knows what format the image is in. PopChart Server does not look at a file's extension and therefore cannot discern the file format by itself.
If the image is of the default format, you won't need to use any other commands. If it is not of the default format, however, you should use an appropriate command to override the default format. For example, if the default format is SVG and you want to load a GIF image, be sure to specify the @_GIF command in addition to the @_LOAD command.
Important: Your path.xml file must grant PopChart Server permission to read files from the location that you specify. Otherwise, it will be unable to load the data. For more information, see "Setting Path Permissions" in Chapter 3 of the PopChart Server User Guide.
