Property of Pane.

Sets the background image the pane uses. LabVIEW supports BMP, JPEG, and PNG graphic formats for background images. This property is similar to the Browse option on the Appearance page of the Pane Properties dialog box. If you want to use a picture to set the image, use the Picture to Pixmap VI to convert the data to an image data cluster before using this method. To use a file to set the image, use the Read JPEG File, Read PNG File, or Read BMP File VIs to convert the data to an image data cluster before using this method.
