Adding custom icons and decorators to the graph

You can add your own custom decorators and icons to the library to use with your application. The objects you create are saved as attachments in the database. For peak performance and to align with the look and feel of the out-of-box (OOB) application, use the following standards:

Object Dimensions Color palette Format Rules
Decorator 16x16 256 .gif Ensure that the image name is not the same as any of the OOB image names.
The image must be saved in the SYSATTACHMENTS table.
