[kepler-dev] New Icons in Kepler

[Laura L. Downey]

Dear Keplerites,

 

Thanks to Matthew and Tim, the new svg icon files have been slimmed down so
we are ready to "turn them on" and will be doing so in the next build.   I
have made a first pass at assigning the new icons to all the current actors
in Kepler.  However, I'm sure I got some of them wrong so need your help.
Those of you working with specific workflows or creating actors will know
them better than I do.

 

So in the next build, please take a look at the new icons in the workflows
or actors you work with and let me know if we need to make adjustments with
a different symbol assignment and/or whether something is atomic or
composite.   I'm happy to make the adjustments to the properties file just
let me know which ones to make.  There is a catch-all symbol for things that
don't fit.

 

The new symbols can be viewed on the wiki at:

 

http://kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=VisualReDesign

 

Scroll down to the next to last section titled Symbology.  There are three
families of icons:  display, model, and stand-alone.

 

The display category contains:

Text

Browser

Graph

Image

Table

 

The model family contains:

Statistical

Mathematical

Mechanistic

Probabilistic

Cellular automata

Logic based

Rule based

Individual based

 

The stand-alone symbols include:

Command line

General (this is the catch all symbol)

Database Query

Equation

Expression

File Operation

Filter

Integral

R program

Signal Processing

Spatial Processing

Statistics

Summation

Transformation

 

[As a side note, in doing this initial assignment, I discovered we may need
a few additional categories for things like string and array operations, and
control operations (like sleep, stop, switch) and for low level things like
put, get and web service etc. so I have made a note of those things as
possible symbol additions in our next release after 1.0.]
