| //X// | An integer expression that specifies the horizontal position of the starting point. |
| //Y// | An integer expression that specifies the vertical position of the starting point. |
| //Width// | An integer expression that specifies the width. This may be a negative number. If omitted, defaults to the width of the graphic as it is stored. |

The **IMAGE** procedure places a graphic image on the current window or report at the position and size specified by its //x//, //y//, //width//, and //height// parameters. This may be a bitmap (.BMP), icon (.ICO), PaintBrush (.PCX), Graphic Interchange Format (.GIF), JPEG (.JPG), or Windows metafile (.WMF). This procedure is valid in Clarion Win32 Windows, and also for REPORT structures in both Clarion Win32 and Clarion#.

**Example:**

**MDIChild WINDOW('Child One'),AT(0,0,320,200),MDI,MAX,HVSCROLL**

**          !window controls**

**         END**

** CODE**

** OPEN(MDIChild)**
