Introduction
 |
 |
An FTI icon consists of one or more items.
An item can be of type point, line, closedline, polygon or outlinepolygon.
Additionally an item can have a name (must not be unique across the icon), as well as a fill or line color and in the case of an outline polygon an outline color.
Colors can be specified as one of three special color names:
- IC: Icon color
- SC: Shadow color
- OC: Outline color
There is also the ability to choose from 16 basic colors or to choose an arbitrary individual color. This individual color is converted to best fit the available color from the color palette as defined in the IconSmith application.
The following image shows the original IconSmith color palette.
For an introduction on using File Type Icons for the IRIX Interactive Desktop, see the official SGI documentation.
Usage

The default maximum size of FTI icons is 100 pixel. It is recommended to set the maximum size of the FTI icons to ex. 500 pixel for better display and handling. Select menu Settings->Image settings->Image types, select image type FTI, enable the -width and -height check buttons and specify the wished pixel size.
In the Image view application, select menu Tools and choose FTI Editor ....
The FTI Editor window consists of two toolbars at the top with functions acting on complete icons:
- Read an icon from file or choose one of the generic template icons.
- Save an icon to file.

- Undo last action.
- Flip, rotate or scale an icon.
The generic template icons can be displayed in the Image view main window as icon or as background image.
In the Icon settings frame, the name of the icon can be choosen. If reading an icon from file, this is the file name without the extension.
In the Item settings frame, default values for newly created items can be choosen: The item fill or line color, the item outline color as well as the item type.
In the Mark settings frame, the colors for marking an item or vertex can be selected. The checkbutton can be used to toggle the display of vertex numbers.
