# Configure VisionPro Tool Block Graphics

These topics cover how to configure the two types of graphics utilized by VisionPro Tool Blocks.

Within Cognex Designer, a VisionPro Tool Block graphic is considered to be a shape or object constructed out of colored lines and/or text that may be placed on top of an image in a VisionPro Display.

There are two types of graphics: static, which cannot be altered, and interactive, which can be manipulated.

VisionPro Tool Blocks use static graphics to display information about tool results on an image, and they use interactive graphics to allow users to modify tool input parameters, such as a region, setting or value.

The following topics illustrate a Cognex Designer application wherein a VisionPro Tool Block is configured with an interactive graphic that allows a user to select an affine rectangle in an input image display, and then displays the result of the affine sampling the input image in a second display. The application displays the position and orientation of the input region as it is adjusted, and performs a transformation whenever the rectangle changes or a new image is loaded.

Before beginning, add an Image File Device, and configure it to display a collection of images. To create and configure the application, the steps are broken down into sections for Scripts, Tags, Task and Page development.
