Grafic in F1 online help

[su01]

Dear community,

I was trying to insert a graphic into the online documentation of a Z report.

It should visualize the process to the user and explain the parameters influence. Think graphics are more helpful than only two pages of pure text.

I believe I've seen graphics in F1 help before (not often, maybe once). And the functionality is there whatsoever. But it seems I am missing some information here on how to realize this. Wasn't able to find anything actually discussing the use of grapics in F1 documents / long texts.

Using the editor, I was able to paste from clipboard. However, the images did not get saved.

I was using SE78 to upload as GRAPHICS / BMAP. The graphic is saved, can be previewed and is available for use.

I also tryed this directly from within the editor, using the included upload function (Menu -> Include -> Graphics).

The files get uploaded and in many ways I am able to create commands like these:

BITMAP 'ZRETURNS_PROCESS_DIAGRAM_BMP' OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BCOL

And they get saved without errors.

However, no graphics appear in the F1 view

Is there anyone experienced with this task who could share some ideas or knows what exactly is the reason if there aren't graphics possible at all? Maybe someone has a good alternative for including a picture with documentation to the user?

Some time ago, Horst said that it was only available for ABAP inline documentation.

There's also this workaround: Add documentation in Custom Program (.docs) | SAP Blogs

As far as I know, classic F1 help based on SAPScript doesn't support images.

Only the ABAP F1 help, having an own SAPScript-HTML converter and an own image repository, does it, e.g.

Thanks, https://blogs.sap.com/2016/10/12/add-documentation-word-custom-program/comment-page-1/#comment-59882... solves the problem as a workaround. Keeping QUestion open for some days to see if more ideas pop up.

Depending on how one writes the word grafic/graphic, similar questions can be found (sorry for having the question doubled):

I'll quickly check Sandra Rossis link soon and leave the question open for others suggestions.
