The image render allows rendering into JPEG, PNG, BMP and WBMP image files. JPEG sacrifices some image quality to achieve very high compression, whereas PNG supports lossless images with millions of colors and produces background transparency without jagged edges. It features compression, transparency, and progressive loading, like GIF, but it is free of patent restrictions. BMP does not lose any digital information when they are altered and saved. As for WBMP, it is a graphic format optimized for mobile computing devices.

This renderer outputs in Paged mode and provides a separate image file for each page of the report. The set of image files is zipped.

The Image render properties contain a single Tree option. See the description of Tree in the section called “Glint” for more information.
