You can put a .bmp file in a sketch with the comment tool - just click on the import button.

There is also a BITMAP Venapp control - see Chapter 4 of the DSS Reference Suppement for that.

below will work - replace temp0000.bmp with any bitmap file that you have.

:SCREEN SCREEN1
SCREENFONT,Times New Roman|10||0-0-0|-1--1--1
PIXELPOS,0
BITMAP,"temp0000.bmp",5,5,0,0

where can i put the bitmap file?

for example: i put the image "ahmad1.bmp" in drive F in my computer. and i want to paste it in any view of venapp.

when i wright your commands and tested the screen the screen appeared blank. so that i think that my error is in the place that i put the bmp file in it.

is it necessary to put it in a specific directory to be called by vensim?

the bitmap file should be in the same directory the model and vanpp file are in. This is true for all files used by the Venapp.
