 Image properties are available for the [[Phonebot_developer%27s_reference/Object_reference#Image|image control]] which can display an image either from a URL or from the local file system.
-The image can be stored either as a Link, a Link with copy, or a Copy. "Link" will always display the image located at the URL or directory. "Link with copy" will display the linked image and store a local copy. If the image is no longer available, the copy will be displayed. "Copy" will always use a local copy.

 |Center crop
 |Scale the image uniformly (maintain the image's aspect ratio) so that both dimensions (width and height) of the image will be equal to or larger than the corresponding dimension of the view (minus padding).

 == User-defined methods ==
-User-defined methods are blocks of script not tied to any object event. Like [[Phonebot_developer%27s_reference/Script_language#Scope|scoped variables]], user-defined methods can be attached to the [[Phonebot_developer%27s_reference/Object_reference#Application|application object]] or a [[Phonebot_developer%27s_reference/Object_reference#Module|module object]]. User-defined methods are useful for scripts that may be called in multiple instances. For example, an application could load a list within module.on_open or within a button.on_click when a refresh is required. The same code could be contained in a user-defined method.

For example, an application could load a list within module.on_open or within a button.on_click when a refresh is required. The same code could be contained in a user-defined method and called from each event. This avoids duplicating the code in both places.
 Methods are created from the [[Phonebot_developer%27s_reference/Advanced_tools#Script_browser|Script browser]] by long clicking on the application or module line item. Once created, methods will show up in the Script browser's scripts along with any application or module events. They will also be listed in the [[Phonebot_developer%27s_reference/Creating_applications#Scripts|Method builder]] when creating scripts.
