When you define the graphic field within your format, the row and column parameters represent where on the format to place the graphic image.

If you are placing a graphic (a logo, for example) within a certain area on your supply, enter the starting position (bottom left corner) of the graphic image.

This label shows the triangle “logo” beginning (the bottom left corner) at 155, 33 as defined in the graphic field.
