Creating a Figure

The Edit menu includes the functions used to select an icon, pointer, or bit map for editing, and to save it after you are through.

Selecting your icon, pointer, or bit map

• To create a new icon, pointer, or bit map, select New from the File menu. The New Figure pop-up window appears, prompting you for more information.

  Select the figure type: Icon, Pointer, or Bit map. For a bit map, you must specify the width and height in pels. Select Enter.

  You can also create new art by modifying or editing an existing art of the same type.

• To edit existing art, select Open from the File menu. You will be prompted for a name.

  Note: Unless you have turned off Safe Prompting on the Options menu, you will be prompted to save if you select Open or New while there is unsaved art on your screen.

  
  If you started the Icon Editor from a command prompt and specified multiple files, you can use the Next option on the File menu to select the next file.

  The Next option will not be selectable if you did not start from the command line and specify multiple files.

  Saving your icon, pointer, or bit map

  To save your art, select either of the following:

  • Save to save it under its current file name. If this is new art, you will be prompted for a name.

  • Save As to save it under a different name. You will be prompted for a new name.
