Hi Steve, There is a DOM element which contains drawing area and you could set any properties for it. If it's static picture you could add css-rule like this:
.bwb_drawarea{background-image: url('some.gif'); background-size: 100% 100%; } If you need manipulate the image programmaticaly, then you could use access to this DOM-element by method whiteboard.getDrawArea() There is one problem with background - it will not move while scrolling or zooming drawing area. To obtain good behavior you have to turn off zoom and scroll. So your code will like like (use the latest lib from https://github.com/bay73/whiteboard.git - I've added removeTool method there): bay.whiteboard.Whiteboard.removeTool("zoom-in"); bay.whiteboard.Whiteboard.removeTool("zoom-out"); whiteboard.properties.events.onwheel = false; whiteboard = bay.whiteboard.Create(); whiteboard.render(document.getElementById('whiteboard')); $(whiteboard.elements.drawElement).css("background-image","url('some.gif')").css("background-size","100% 100%"); If you use google closure instead of jQuery, then last line will look like: goog.style.setStyle(whiteboard.elements.drawElement, {"background-image":"url('some.gif')","background-size":"100% 100%"}); And of course I could add the behavoir if you want your background to move while scrolling.
