Filename: the file name of a imagefile (.jpg oder .bmp). The middle mouse button in the graphics window activates the file dialog box. The directory is a Symbol Path Name (See Symbolic File Names). [Scale]: if not defined (or value of 0), then the bitmap will be dynamically scaled. If a scale is given, it will be in fixed scale (No dynamic scaling).
