Add a background image

In Kanzi Studio layers are used for organizing the content in applications. A layer is a 2D image on a screen the content of which can be either dynamic or static. Each layer can have a number of child layers the content of which is displayed on the parent layer in the order of appearance. The type of the layer defines the default behavior and content of a layer.

In Kanzi there are many different types of layers, but in this tutorial you use the Viewport Layer. Viewport layer displays a view into a 3D scene through a camera.

In this step you set the Viewport Layer to use an image for the background.

Set Viewport Layer to use an image for the background

1. In the Project select the Viewport Layer.
   
2. In the Properties click Add Properties, in the Add Properties find the Layer Background Brush Texture in the left pane, and double-click the property to add it to the Viewport Layer.
   
3. In the Properties select the Layer Background Brush Texture property, select Import image..., and select Background.png.
   
4. In the Library select Composing > Composers > Composer > Render Pass and in the Properties in Color Buffer disable the Clear Enabled property.
   
   In this example, by disabling the Clear Enabled property you tell Kanzi to render the background brush texture.
