The Symbol Editor

The Symbol Editor is a point-and-click interface used to create palettes of rich interactive symbols. These symbols combine graphic parts, custom behavior and interactions. They can be used to populate graphical views of your applications. Typical symbols are:

• Graphic nodes used to create graphs, topologies, entity-relationship diagrams, business processes.
• Dedicated objects for monitoring and management activities (intelligent icons, gauges, dials, multi-states, bars, and so on).
• Other GUI objects such as buttons, sliders, or check boxes.

For details on how to use this tool, please refer to Using the Symbol Editor.
