I'm using Tableau Public and would like to include a background image for my dashboard. When I go to Map --> Background Images , nothing populates. I see the right arror, but when I scroll over it I don't have the option to go any further. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The feature you're referring to (Map -> Backgroung images) is just for worksheets.
Background images are strictly related to your data in order to plot markers on a specifc image according to data valuues
(https://www.tableau.com/learn/tutorials/on-demand/background-images)
That being said, if you need "just" an image as a background for your dashboard, it's quite simple:
In the Object section select a "Image" element and drag it into the dashboard
Place your woorksheet(s) into the dashboard with the floating option (not tiled) in order to bring them forward (if needed)
Extra: if you need the background image to be readable, remember to set your worksheet deafault shading value to none

below i attached an app help guide screen. I am understanding how to build this screen.
If any body have idea please share here
View with semi transparent background color (backgroundColor:"rgba(0,0,0,0.5)";) and some images on top of it.
So, using images is bad. You'll need images for translations and if you do this as one image you'll need to ensure all devices are covered so your arrows point to the right element.
Minimise images == smaller app.
First thing you'll need to do is a create a blocker view -- so that's a view that will fill the screen and have a black background with opacity.
You can't apply that to the window as everything in it will be semi-transparent so:
Create a transparent Window that fills the screen.
Add to that window a view that fills the window and has opacity say 0.5 and black background
Add to the Window (not the view you just created) the other elements and button -- ideally, these should be individual graphics of the arrows, sized in such a way that you can position them based on the host element (the item they are pointing to / referring to). Use real text so you can handle translations / reduce file size.
So you'll need a way to associate each tip with a control they are anchored too, and that will ensure that regardless of the screen size, the tip will appear in the correct place.
First of all, always give a try before putting questions anywhere because it makes you learn things on your own for long time.
The easiest step for you to do this is to ask your designer to create a complete image just like that & you just have to show it on top.
If you have to show that image in different translations, then you can ask your designer to provide you required translations images.

as you can see in the posted picture it is graph basically illegible. so
is there a way to put breaks in an ssrs bar graph?
I believe what you are asking for is to have spaces between the individual graphs on your page.
You should be able to go to the properties pane (usually in the bottom right corner). There look for custom attributes and then find the point width. There are other setting here as well.
Make sure you have selected your graph before going to the settings.
I used to be able to color any Text, shape, or image by just selecting the particular layer and use pain bucket tool for example. Not sure what I clicked, but recently when I try to do the same; I always get the following message:
"This type Layer must be rasterized before proceeding. Its text will
no longer be editable. Rasterize the type? "
I do not want to rasterize. Can I know how to revert back to the normal setup where I can do the coloring without the need for rasterize please.
It also seems to mess around with my selection.
For example - I have a circle shape in the middle with transparent background.
I used to be able to go Select>All followed by Select>Inverse and it will select the circle shape.
But now it selects the entire canvas when I select all but returns the following error when I Select>Inverse
"Warning No Pixels were selected".
You may not be able to color a vector object with paint bucket tool. Instead, can you try using the color option in the blending mode. That will retain the vector property and also apply the color.
The following applies to PS-CS6
In the layers palette,
= Right click on the layer > Blending Options > Select Color Overlay
I'm trying to create a live tile for my application, using a user control.
The user control contains a grid, an image and a rectangle filled with color.
Now here comes the funny part.
I want the rectangle to act as a background for the tile's title, and the image to fill the rest of the tile. And i said to myself, well, lets put some rows in that grid and set the like you usually set them in a WPF/SL application.
I then write the entire thing in a WBM and save it to isostore.
The problem is, the parser seems to ignore the presence of grid's rows. regardless of what I try, the rectangle is not shown, and the image covers the full tile, when it should only cover the first row. It is as if the grid didn't even existed.
Another funny aspect is that it doesn't matter if I use rows or columns, the result is the same.
Any ideas?
Are you using the following method?
Dynamic LiveTile - adding background image?
I recently implemented a Live Tile using a Grid with Rows and Columns for layout of some TextBlocks. I encountered similar challenges, so I placed the control that I was using for my Live Tile on a blank page in my app to better see what was happening. Does the control render correctly when displayed on a page (versus being rendered to a WriteableBitmap)?
Another idea. Instead of trying to position the Rectangle relative to the tile's Title, why not leave the Title property blank and put the same text in a TextBlock within the user control?
If you are careful about the font and positioning of the TextBlock, the text on the resulting background image can appear indistinguishable from text displayed from the Title property. I decided to follow this strategy myself. I found the font information in the following answer:
Font size and family for a tile's title
Otherwise, could you post an example of the XAML you are using?
All my images are rendering black. The output of my animation is a .mpg video. The images themselves were created in GIMP and saved as non-transparent .png's.
Can anyone suggest anything?
If you go to the properties menu (Shift-F7), and then click on the materials tab, there you should check the 'shadeless' box.
Go to the properties menu (SHIFT + F7) and change the emit value under the shading category to a value in the range 0 and 1. Then gradually change this emit value to get expected shading of the object. To do so you have to render the view several times. In this way you can also retain the realistic 3D nature of the object.
