In Getting started with the Symbol Editor, you
learned how to manipulate graphic objects, parameters and
conditions. In this section, you will see how to apply these
techniques to symbols containing imported images.
The Symbol Editor can import the following
file types:
- PNG
- JPG
- GIF
- SVG
- IVL
PNG, JPG, and GIF format files are static images. This means that
their appearance cannot be edited directly using the Symbol Editor.
However, static images have a smaller memory footprint. You use
static images to create light symbols. For more information, see Designing for performance.
Both IVL and SVG files contain vector
graphics. Using the Symbol Editor, you can edit and add conditions
to each object contained in an imported vector graphic.
