CreatingCustomIconsForActors

Back to mbed

Overview

Vergil allows users to create Icons for Actors using the Icon Editor. In order to access this, either right click the actor -> appearance -> Edit Custom Icon, or from Vergil, go into File -> New -> Icon Editor, and create your icon! When you are done, go to File -> Save As and save the icon as a .xml file.

Making the Icon Permanent

Once you have your XML file, rename it to the name of the actor .java file, followed by Icon. For example, GPIOWriter.java should have the XML file named GPIOWriterIcon.xml. Place this file the same folder as the actor (the actual actor, not the adapter .java file), and you are good to go!
