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
inkscapeand you'll needrubyinstalled 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
contextand 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-symbolicsuffix).
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.pyscript. 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)
