14.5.2 How to create an icon image file
You can display any icon other than the default icon for each object you want to display in the Main Scope window and the Sub Scope window.
This subsection explains how to create an icon image file.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Type of file that you can specify as icon image file
You can specify an image file of gif type.
(2) Software to be used
Use a graphic editor that lets you edit gifs
(3) Icon image size
The size of an icon image is 48 x 48 (pixels). It is recommended that you create an icon in the range 46 x 46 (pixels), which leaves a margin of 2 pixels around the drawing area. Otherwise, you cannot distinguish whether the icon is selected when having selected it in the map area. For the margin area, specify a transparent color.
(4) Specifying the status color area
Prepare the area for displaying the status color for each icon image. For the area displaying the status color, specify an RGB value shown in the following table.

RGB color (red:green:blue) |

255 : 51 : 204 |

The RGB value with the smaller number indicates the lighter color, while the RGB value with the bigger number indicates the darker color.

The standard color (in which the color having been specified in the Color Settings dialog box is reflected) is item 2. You can make gradations to the color by using the other RGB values.

JP1/AJS3 Console View provides an image file named sample.gif#. As shown in the following figure, you can create an icon image by overlapping a symbol image on this image. This overlapping lets you make an icon that matches the default icons.
