place "X" of injury locations on an image 1

[fisheromacse]

I am not convinced i can do this in crystal without creating an image for each combination of possible injury locations (which i am loathe to do!)
but here is my question...

Is it possible to have crystal map an X onto a body image for each injury recorded for an individual incident?

for example, a person is injured and documentation shows there are 3 injuries, one to the front left forehead, one to the palm of the left hand, and one to the chin.
i would like the body picture (which is a jpg) to show on the report with 3 "X"s, one in each location.
the database contains a record for each injury, which i have currently as lines of text in the report.
i can place the 'blank' body image in the report, but am stymied by the placement of the "X"s.
i can also provide the X & Y coordinates for the image of each injury location if that is useful.

If i have been unclear or not provided insufficient information, i apologize.
Please ask any questions or request additional information as desired an i will do my best to give it.
thanks is advance.

Place 'X' text objects on top of all possible locations. Use the suppress expression for each one to control if it is visible.

Ido - Thanks!
it looks like i am going to have about 100 formulas but once done it will be close enough for the staff.

Good; I hope you are aware that Crystal allows you to replicate formulas.

Ido- yep, Duplicate is a huge timesaver.
i just recently upgraded to crystal reports 2011 from xi.

For any thread-reader with an older Crystal lacking the duplicate function, you can paste to a dummy report, change the name and then pasting back. (I think Crystal 11.5 was the first to also duplicate formula fields using the Field Explorer.)
