''node_addimage: <node> | <title> | <path> | //<blob1>// | //<blob2>// | //etc…//''

Tells the specified [[concepts:remotes:|remote node]] to load an image from an SMB share, and how to display flow information over it when it is used in a [[concepts:remotes:layout objects|layout object]]. 

  * **name** is the Remote Node to load the image
  * **title** is the title of the image – thus how it will be referenced in a layout object
  * **path** is an SMB URL((see https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-crhertel-smb-url-00 for more details))  for the image((An example would be %%smb://192.168.0.10/ShareName/Path/To/Image.jpg.%% We advise using IP addresses rather than host names))
  * **blobs** are optional and arbitrary in number. Each blob will display a coloured circle over the image referring to the relevant flow group, giving the group time and size. Blobs take the form n,x,y,r – where n is the position in the flow, x & y are the coordinates of the centre of the blob, and r is the radius. These values are in pixels in the original resolution of the image.

Blobs are intended to be placed over maps of the show venue to illustrate the progression of groups.

//Note that if a Windows 10 version 1709 or higher is used to host the image, SMB1.0 will need to be activated in Windows Features. Also, if you want to use a public share (no user name or password), check that “Password protected sharing” is off in the Network and Sharing Centre/Advanced.//
