Internal icons

Graphlytic contains several icons for direct use in style mappers (when mapperType="discrete", group="nodes" and styleProperty="background_image"). In order to use internal icons you construct internal URL which contains prefix "icon/" and the name of icon you want to use. Name of icon consists of the name of icon shape and icon color concatenated with underscore ("_") and suffix ".png". Examples of an internal URL: "icon/app_1_blue.png" or "icon/user_1_red.png".

See image with all internal icons and examples below for more information.

usem them in mappers by referencing them as "icons/name_of_my_icon.png"
