Add custom images

Follow these instructions to add custom images to your solution.

No-code customization

Using no-code customization, you can add a custom image to the project title and add images to the placeholder view.

Add a custom image to the project title

This is how the project title view looks by default:

To add an image next to the title, place an image file named about.png in the following location:

src\ansys\solutions\<solution-name>\ui\assets\images\about.png

The image is scaled to fit the project title. For example, if you use the following image:

The result looks like this:

Add images to the placeholder view

To add an image to the placeholder view, add a file named about-placeholders.png in the following location:

src\ansys\solutions\<solution-name>\ui\assets\images\about-placeholders.png

For example, if you use the following image:

The result looks like this:

Low-code customization

Using low-code customization, you can add custom images in other locations (besides the project title and placeholder view).

Add custom images in other locations

To add custom images to other locations in the solution, you can use approach similar to the one used the preceding section, with some additional code modifications. For example, to add a custom image to the results view:

1. Open the images.py file.

   src\ansys\solutions\<solution-name>\ui\utils\images.py
   

2. Update the Images class as follows:

   images.py

    class Image(Enum):
        """Enumeration of logos used in the solution.
        If you for example need to change the name of the project title logo, you can change it here.
        """
   
        ABOUT = "about.png"
        ABOUT_PLACEHOLDERS = "about-placeholders.png"
        ABOUT_RESULTS_VIEW = "about-results-view.png"
   

3. Add the image to the following location:

   src\ansys\solutions\<solution-name>\ui\assets\images\about-results-view.png
   

4. Open the result_files_view.py file.

   src\ansys\solutions\<solution-name>\ui\views\result_files_view.py
   

5. Update the result view as follows:

   • Edit the import statement to reflect the actual solution name.

   • Provide a style dictionary as an argument to the get_div method to ensure the image is displayed correctly.

   result_files_view.py

    from ansys.solutions.<solution-name>.ui.utils.images import Image
   
    about_results_image = Image.ABOUT_RESULTS_VIEW.get_div({"max-width": "100%", "height": "auto"})
   
    layout = html.Div(
        [
            about_results_image,
            extra_message_selected_file,
            buttons,
            result_files_table,
            table_loading_message,
            spinner,
            hidden_divs,
            checkbox_states,
        ]
    )
   

Full-code customization

If you’re familiar with Dash, HTML, and CSS, you can also add custom images directly to the source code. For example, you can add an image to the result view by editing the file result_files_view.py, as follows:

result_files_view.py

   about_results_image = html.Img(src = "/assets/images/about-results-view.png", style = {"max-width": "100%", "height": "auto"})
   layout = html.Div(
       [
           about_results_image,
           extra_message_selected_file,
           buttons,
           result_files_table,
           table_loading_message,
           spinner,
           hidden_divs,
           checkbox_states,
       ]
   )
