A wireless terminal (and associated method) for communicating pictures via a
wireless
communication system. The pictures can be either maintained in the wireless terminal
in galleries, each gallery including typically up to eight pictures, or the pictures
can be stand-alone pictures. When maintained in galleries and stored in non-volatile
memory of the wireless terminal, in an electronic folder, the pictures are termed
clip-art pictures. The invention allows sending an entire gallery at a time as,
among other formats, a single so-called Graphical Messaging System (GMS) picture
(1872 pixels). The invention also allows sending individual clip-art pictures
in a message including text, actually in-line with the text of the message or indicating
where in the text the clip-art pictures would appear in a wireless terminal adapted
to the invention. In addition, the invention provides a picture editor allowing
a user to create or edit either a clip-art or a standalone picture.
