- Click on the
button below the picture and select the Delete option.

Clip Art Item Settings
You can set a default size for any of the clip art items in the Gallery.
This means that you can specify the size of the object as it
will appear when you drag it from the Gallery onto the whiteboard area.
To do this, click on the button below the picture and select the Item Settings... option.
This opens the following dialog:
This dialog shows the clip art at the current size. To change the size, use the slider to make the picture bigger or smaller.
You can also specify whether this picture is to be used as clip
art or as a background image, by using the option buttons. If you set a
picture as a background image, it will automatically go to the
background layer when it is used.
Once you have made your settings, click OK.
These settings will now be used as the default behaviour for the selected item of clip art.
