^choice[#].party.media

^choice[#].party.media <prefix>

The graphics logo for the party. The <prefix> portion of the tag is optional. Note: when using files as a source for replacement logos, it is always best specify a prefix. The reason is that there are certain file names in the Windows operating system that are reserved. For example, ‘CON’ and ‘LPT’ can’t be used even when paired with file extensions. Tag is a Graphics object.

Elector Player for XPression:

• In the absence of the <prefix> part, the player looks for an XPression material that is named based on the party code. The name of the material that is assigned to the Quad at design time determines the format of the name of the replacement materials that can be used for replacement on output. The format of the materials is: prefixPARTYCODE. For example: during design time, the material assigned is named ‘logoLIB’ and during output the party should be ‘CON’, then the player will look for a replacement material that is named ‘logoCON’.

• When the <prefix> part is specified as part of the tag’s name, the source of the logo will be from a file that is in the Logos folder (specified in the Elector Player’s Preferences) instead of another XPression material. The file prefix specifies what the prefix of the logo filename to look for on output. For example: we have a tag ^choice[0].party.media <logo> and the party on output is ‘CON’, then the player will look for a logo file that is named ‘logoCON.png'. The extension can be of any image type that is supported by XPression, e.g., .png, .jpg, .bmp. Note that the search for a matching file is case insensitive, i.e., ‘logocon.png’ or 'LogoCon.Jpg' will also work.

Elector Player for Web:

• In Elector Player for Web, the player always looks for a logo file located in the Logos folder (specified in the Elector Player’s Preferences).

• In the absence of the <prefix> part, the player looks for a file with a name that is the party code. For example: on output, the party of interest is ‘LIB’, then player will look for a file named ‘LIB.png’. The type of image (and hence, the extension of the file) can be of any valid image type, e.g., .png, .jpg, .bmp, etc. The search for the logo filename is case insensitive, i.e., ‘lib.png' or ‘Lib.PNG’ will also work.

• When the <prefix> part is specified as part of the tag’s name, the player will look for a file that name has the following format:prefixPARTYCODE.ext. For example: the desired party code on output is ‘CON', ^choice[0].party.media <logo> is the tag and the prefix is ‘logo’, then the player will search for a logo file named ‘logoCON.jpg’. Again, the search is case insensitive and the file extension can be from any valid image file type, e.g., .png, .jpg, .bmp.

Available for Party, Choice/Candidate and Area/Riding scenes.
