The Modelica icon sketcher

Placing objects in the icon design space

The Modelica icon sketcher provides four objects that you can use to build your icons:

Icon Object
Rectangle
Ellipse
Line
Text

When you select one of these objects, the cursor takes on the appearance of that object. If you select a rectangle or ellipse, you can click and drag in the design space to create the selected object type:

If Snap to grid is enabled, the object is adjusted to the grid as you drag to create it.
