Images

All images are subject to a general transformation matrix and can be scaled, rotated and skewed arbitrarily. Image transformations can be fully interpolated, giving far better results than many existing systems.
Just like any other graphic element, images can be used in expressions. They can be sourced from a wide variety of common file formats (TIFF, JFIF, PhotoCD, etc.) as well as free-form data streams; even read from a script or computed within a script. For example:

page := image("balloons.tiff")
  
scale(-5, 5); rotate(-pi/6); page := image("balloons.tiff");
  
text("Centered", NULL, "0C");
  


Using the compositing operators available in OpenPage images can be combined to produce more complex graphics. An example of this is on the Graphic Expressions page. There is no limit to the level of complexity that can be achieved.
