Images in OpenModelica Documentation

Following is an example of how an image is embedded in an OpenModelica Documentation.

modelica://Modelica/Resources/Images/Blocks/Sources/Constant.png\

Can I know what modelica: is in the code? If I am not mistaken its the OPENMODELICALIBRARY environment variable. Right?

Also, If I have to embed images in a model that I have created, how do I use the above format? (Currently I'm hardcoding the path to where the image exists in the model. This would be of no use say I give this library to someone else unless they keep the image in the same path)

Thanks in Advance, MSK

Is not OPENMODELICALIBRARY as that contains several Modelica libraries. Is the directory of the Modelica library that is loaded, that is OPENMODELICALIBRARY/Modelica 3.2.1/ or another one.

Read the Modelica Specification (https://www.modelica.org/documents/ModelicaSpec32Revision2.pdf, 13.2.3 External Resources) with regards to modelica:// URIs. Basically modelica://LibraryName/... will lead to the actual path where library LibraryName is and what is after it will be looked up starting from that directory.
