building my own image library.
« on: April 05, 2008, 06:22:49 am »
How can I go about making my own library of image icons? There seems to be two steps. 1) Make a picture in some Microsoft format. 2) Get it into some XML file. Is there a writeup somewhere describing how to do this. Is there a utility to do it?

I haven't tried this yet. Can the images be stretched?

Thanks
Brian Vaughan

Duh!? Never mind. Just "add".

I wonder how I might import Visio shapes?

Hi Brian,

I find that exporting Visio shapes as metafiles (wmf or emf) and importing them into EA works well. This way EA respects transparent image backgrounds.

No, you can't have it!

Hi Brian

Sparx Systems provide a free MDG Link for importing Visio diagrams into EA.  You can download it from:
