Fwd: how to design small icons

Hi,

That's right, but a difference remains in comparison with small icons from original LabVIEW components: when you manipulate such a custom small icon on your block diagram, its "transparent" area remains "selection sensitive".
Does anybody have a hint ?

The terminals have nothing to do with the size of the icon - they are defined by the connector pattern you use. If you want an icon about the same size as a numeric, select the pattern with 2 connectors on the left and 2 on the right. Assuming you have a single input and a single output, connect them to the uppermo
st left and uppermost right.
Now, when you go into into the icon editor, select "show terminals".
Draw a box the same size as the connector pattern you're wired to.
Make sure you have the same icon for the b&w, 16, and 256 color.

I don't think there is anyway around it. You have to remember the native LabVIEW components are not VIs and weren't created with LabVIEW. Maybe NI could work on a way to do it for LV7?
