7� Importing an Image to the CODA Form
In the illustration below, the Tags have been given an elliptical shape as well as a distinctive
color� They are outside the Tag Button Mat and so they are independent of the Event but may still
be “attached” to it as a further description�
Reconguring Tag and Event buttons
You may have created a Tag and then subsequently decided that it would more appropriately
function as an Event or vica versa� To change a Tag to an Event , highlight the Tag and from the
“EDIT” menu select “Convert into Event”� You should note that the Shape, Color and Name given
to the Tag will not change with its change of function� These must be amended separately if
necessary�
You may also achieve this by highlighting the button and Control Click on it� Consider the
implications of this carefully because reconguring a Tag Button to an Event Button will change
the function of the button from describing an action in a movie instance, to initiating a movie
instance when the CODA data is exported into either SportsCode or Studiocode�
7� Importing an Image to the
CODA Form
Images you wish to import into the CODA Form must be in either pdf, gif or jpeg format� Any
image placed in a CODA Form will initially function as an Event button�
If an image has been selected from an external document, place your cursor at a corner of the
selected image and key “Command, Control, Shift and 4” and then click on the corner of the
image and drag the cursor to the diagonally opposite corner and release the mouse button
to capture the image to your desktop as a Screen shot� You may then either click and drag the
image from your desktop into the Coding Form and drop it or you may ll an existing button
with the image (refer paragraphs 1�j (vii) and 1�j (viii) above)�
If your favored image has been stored in a le in your computer, it may be retrieved to the CODA
Form simply by clicking on the le name and dragging it to the Form�
The image may then be positioned anywhere in the CODA Form by clicking on it and dragging it
to the desired location� The image may also be re-sized or reshaped in accordance with details in
para�1�j (vii) above or by clicking on a corner and dragging the image to the desired size�
An image lled Event button, created in this way may also be re-congured to a Tag button
pursuant to the instructions detailed in para� 4 above�
