Icon Editor: 2 Importing Icons

Up: GEOS SDK TechDocs | Up | Prev: 1 Creating Icons | Next: 3 Editing Icons

There are 2 other ways to create icons. You can import a graphic such as a GIF, TIF, BMP or other supported file format for use as an icon, provided that it is less than 64k (which is the limit for GEOS monikers). You do this using the "Import Graphic" dialog in the Icon menu.

The other way to make an icon in the icon database is to import a moniker or moniker group from the token database, which is the cache of file monikers kept by GeoManager. Select "Token Database" from the Icon menu to get a list of monikers that you may import.
