Image Preview subpattern
This article provides information about the Image Preview form subpattern. This subpattern can be used for most images that appear within a form container, especially within a FastTab or Group.
Usage
Image Preview can be used for most images that appear within a form container, especially within a FastTab or Group. This subpattern can be used in conjunction with the FieldsAndFieldGroup and FillText subpatterns to combine images and any associated fields. This subpattern isn't used for tiles or buttons, or for field status images.
Typical contents
- Toolbar (ActionPane where Style=Strip)
- Image
- Can contain subpatterns:
- Fields and Field Groups
- Fill text

Pattern changes
