Propose new GUI icons

Principle

Image format

• Images must be saved in png, ico format (format Microsoft Windows) or gif
• The icons are located in the Bitmaps directory of the installation of I-Simpa
• The first word of the file recalls the category of the icon (cf. description below)
• The size of the icons is currently 16×16 pixels; however, the images can be of different sizes, with any one of them being aspect ratio. The Windows standards are however: 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 256×256
• The same category of icons must have with the same ratio height/width
• It is not necessary to save the images in lower resolutions as the system automatically resizes the image icons as needed
• Each time a new icon is created, just replace the corresponding file in the icon installation directory, then restart the interface, to visualize the final result.

Objective

These icons should help the user to identify the function without necessarily have recourse to the long description. To the extent that the possible, it is necessary to try to remain homogeneous between the icons of the same type of object. For example, the icon representing a point receiver (cf. description in the table below) can be recalled in the folder grouping together several point receptors.

Icon categories

There are 3 categories of icons :

1. Tree icons (Control TreeView;). There are two trees structure: Project and Option
2. Icons of the Popup menus (accessible in right-clicking on an object in the first categories)
3. Icons associated with the Toolbars

Description of the objects of type TreeView

These trees are used to define the properties and attributes of a large number of objects:

• 3D scene (Scene tab) distributed in 2 folders Data and Project
• Calculation codes (Calculation tab)
• Results (Results tab)
• 3D rendering (accessible by going to the Tools/Options menu).

Description

Tree icons

The Folder icons have two states, so two distinct images (open open and closed close). To differentiate between the two states, add open or close at the end of the file name corresponding to the associated icon. However, it is not always useful to have two different icons to represent an open or closed folder (on the other hand, two different files are always needed).
