Scanning a Background Image (Background Scanning).

In this example, we will use material with a cutout in its upper-left corner as a background image.

The background scanning function is also useful when cutting out patterns from material with a design on it. By arranging the patterns on the screen in the desired patterned area of the material, cutouts with a specific design can be created.
