[kepler-dev] Changing icons for composite actors

[Laura L. Downey]

Matthew did outline the procedures for assigning and adding icons.  That
information is contained in the config files.

I also wrote a short document, to be included with the user documentation
that outlines the visual design guidelines for icons in Kepler and talks
about how to assign and add them etc.  I don't think this has been released
because we were still waiting on a file to be generated that just lists all
the current icons and the associated files names.  

That draft document can be found at:
kepler-docs\user\VizDesign-AddingIcons_kma.doc

Yes, I think you can.  You can actually assign the icon by LSID.  See 
the file configs/ptolemy/configs/kepler/uiSVGIconMappingsByLSID.properties

You can also assign them by class:
configs/ptolemy/configs/kepler/uiSVGIconMappingsByClass.properties

Note the config file format is something like this:
urn\:lsid\:kepler-project.org\:actor\:417\:1=data_process-c
where the icon name (on the right side of the '=' sign is a filename 
from the kepler/lib/images/svg directory with the ".svg" removed.
