To select a 'stamp' object move the mouse pointer to the desired object and click the left button.

Multiple 'stamp' objects can be selected and operations such as Move and Delete applied to all the selected objects.

Undo
This button will recover the last delete action. Double click the mouse right button to complete the Undo operation.

Stamps
Click on this button to create a 'stamp' object to add to the image. This displays the stamp viewer. Within the stamp viewer click on the desired 'stamp' blue bar e.g. 'ros_stamp3’. Move the mouse pointer over the image until the stamp outline is in the desired position. Click the mouse left button to place the 'stamp' in this position. You can then move the mouse pointer to a new position and click the mouse left button again to place another copy of the same 'stamp' at another position and so on.

Click the mouse right button twice to complete the operation.

13.9.6 Link Details

The information box at the top of this section of the Button Panel displays the report number or title number to which the image on view is assigned if applicable.

The empty box allows you to enter text to be displayed inside the 'ros_stamp4' stamp. This 'stamp' is intended to be used where one image is common to e.g. 2 reports.

The Number box is incremented by use of the up and down arrow buttons. This number value then appears in all 'ros-stamp3' type 'stamp's.
