- Map Image. You can have one image per map. Any image larger than 480 pixels high will be proportionally scaled to fit our specifications (e.g. an 800 x 600 pixel image would be resized to 640 x 480). When creating a map for your library, consider a graphic or photograph of your library layout with this specific section highlighted in a thick colorful line. You can create quick maps in tools like Google Draw or https://floorplanner.com/. You can start with these graphics of shelves and tables: library map assets pngs.zip.
