Symbolic Icons Source

• To add or modify an symbolic icon, edit source SVG file found in this directory
• For simplified development, has various scripts to extract or render icons from the larger SVG source files.
• To edit the icons you will need inkscape and you'll need ruby installed to run the render script.

source-symbolic.svg - the source files that contains all of the symbolic icons

• Each layer in this source file corresponds to a icon context and the icons are sorted accordingly
• Each icon should be drawn within an 16x16 pixel square and use only 1 colour
• When complete, group all elements within a 16x16 rectangle (with no stroke and #888888 fill at 1% opacity for later modification) and label that group with the icon-name (less the -symbolic suffix).

extract-symbolic-icons.rb - the render script

• The recommended way to render modified icons is to delete the output file and re-render using the master-render.py script. Alternatively:
• Extract any new symbolic icons from the source SVG by passing the icon name to this script: ./extract-symbolic-icons.rb <icon-name>
• Or, if run generally, this script will look through the entire source file to render any new icons (if a new icon does not have a correct label the script will fail)
