Add more glyphs?

[Neil.Pate]

Is is possible to add more icons to the Editor?

In the old (customised) versionit would pick up all the PNG files in the associated directories.

Taking a quick peek at the code for the new editor it seems they are stored in Glyphs.bin (as well as in actual directories)?????

Is the Glyphs.bin file automatically updated if I copy new icons in and run the icon editor? I can't seem to find in the code where this is done though.

OK, I was dumb in that I didn't even try it before posting!

If you copy new files then restart LV it will list them!

Hey Neil,

you don't even need to restart LabVIEW to make the new glyphs visible. Just restart the Icon Editor.

The reason why there is double buffering is the load time of the glyphs. If we wouldn't have an intermediate file (in our case a simple binary file), the population of all glyphs would take forever.

Therefore, when the IE is launched, we load the glyphs from the bin file and afterwards we update the bin file and the UI with the current stack of glyphs.

Thanks,

Tom
