Creating node icons

Create the icons that are displayed in the workbench when your node is present.

Before you start:

You must complete the following tasks:
  1. Creating a user-defined node project
  2. Creating the user-defined node plug-in files
  3. Defining the node properties

When you create a node, a set of default icons are created for you; files clc16.gif and obj16.gif are used for the node in the palette on the Broker Application Development perspective, and obj30.gif is used for the node in the Message Flow Editor (that is, when it is dragged into a message flow). To change the default icons to your own icons, replace the supplied .gif files in the icons subdirectory of the plug-in project by your files.

You can add another optional feature, help or a property editor or compiler, or you can test your node.
