Diagram Box Icons Dialog

The Diagram Box Icons dialog is used to select and/or manage diagram box icons.  It can be accessed from the Diagram Options Dialog: Boxes Tab (the Diagram Options dialog is accessed from the Diagram menu, which is displayed when the Diagram Window is active).  Alternatively, it can also be accessed by clicking either Import Diagram Box Icons or Export Diagram Box Icons, both of which are accessible from the Import/Export submenu of the application's File menu.

Websites for hotels, or bed-and-breakfast accommodation, sometimes use little icons to show what features are included with the room. For example, a little WiFi icon might be displayed to show that the room comes with free WiFi. You can use similar icons with boxes in Family Historian diagrams. For example, you might have a ‘Work-in- Progress’ record flag that you set for records that you are currently working on. You could perhaps put a ‘Men at Work’ icon below boxes where this record flag is set. Or you could use a ship icon to mark people whose occupation is 'sailor'.

A number of standard icons are provided with Family Historian.  But you can also install your own custom icons if you wish.  The recommended format for custom icons is SVG.  Free SVG icons are readily available on the Internet (search for "Free SVG Icons").  You can also create your own custom SVG icons, or modify existing SVG icons, using standard graphics software, such as the free graphics tool, Inkscape.

Any custom icons you import will be assigned the category 'Custom'.
