Built-In Image When you click a plotted symbol, it displays a link called "Image File
(JPG). This link is for adding
an image file to be associated with a crash record.
You can add an image file to any crash record at any time, in
"jpg" format. When
you click the "Image File ..." link, If you have added an image file for that crash record, it will display the
image on the
screen. If you have not added an image for that crash record, it will
simply indicate it cannot display it and you can add it at any other time.
The way it works is as
follows: Each plotted symbol is associated with a crash record. Each crash
record has a unique ID, such as report number. If you save the image file with a file name equal to the unique ID, when you click a plotted symbol,
it will associate with a crash record, and it will associate with a image file.
The following steps
shows how to make use of the built-in feature to add image files:
Create a subfolder called "Images" under the folder where the KMZ
file (the file for displaying collision diagrams or crash locations in Google Earth) is located.
For example, if CCC is the folder where the KMZ file is located. Create a
subfolder called "CCC\Images".
Use any software to create an image file.
Save the image file in "jpg" format. Use the report ID as the
file name. For example, if the crash record has a report ID of XXX, then
save the file as XXX.jpg.
Put the image file in "CCC\Images\XXX.jpg.
When you click a plotted symbol, and when you click the link "Image
File ...", it will display the image file that you have saved in step
