Notes
•
If you attempt to import a bitmap larger than 24 x 24 pixels into XSym, a message
box warns you the selected bitmap is larger than 24 x 24 pixels and the image is
reduced.
•
If the bitmap is less than 24 x 24 pixels, the remaining area is filled to the edge of
the Symbol Editing Grid with one of the symbol pixel colors.
•
As you create a symbol, an image preview displays to the upper-left of the Symbol
Editing Grid. You can make edits to the symbol in either the Image Preview or the
Symbol Editing Grid. Any edits done in one view are mirrored in the other view.
Dragging a Bitmap into XSym
You can drag a bitmap into DeLorme XSym to use as a symbol. Using drag to bring in an
image is much like
importing a bitmap
into XSym. Ideally, the new bitmap should be 24 x
24 pixels in size. You can assign a new symbol name for the symbol to help locate it under
the Find tab in the DeLorme mapping program.
