You can add an icon to any node in a diagram. The '''Icon '''window contains an enlarged space that you can use for creating or editing an icon.

'''Opening the Icon window''': To add an icon:

# Make sure that the [[toolbar|edit tool]] is selected.
# Select the node that you wish to illustrate.
# Choose '''Edit Icon '''from the [[Diagram menu]] to open the '''Icon '''window.

'''Drawing or editing an icon''': You can draw or edit the icon one pixel at a time using mouse clicks, or you can draw lines by holding down the mouse button as you drag the cursor.

* To make a dark pixel light or a light pixel dark, click the pixel.
* To draw a line or curve hold down the mouse button while you move the cursor. If the starting pixel of the line or curve is black the line or curve is black; if the starting pixel of the line or curve is white the line or curve is white.
* To set the node’s icon, click the '''Accept '''button [[File:Chapter9 18.png]].
* To restore the original icon in the window (or to clear the window if there was no previous icon), click the '''Revert '''button [[File:Chapter9 19.png]].

You can copy and paste an icon from one place in a model to another using the standard '''Copy '''(''Control+c'') and '''Paste '''(''Control-v'') commands. You can delete an icon from a node by selecting it and using the '''Cut '''(''Control+c'') command or the ''Delete ''key.
