Re: Changing size of the bitmaps

[James Shanks <James_Shanks@TIVOLI.COM>]

Right, but what you cannot do is tell NetView to use a smaller icon bitmap so
that things will look better against your backrgound gif.  There is no mechanism
to size the two in unison.    NetView determines how big your icon should be by
how many you have on the map, and selects the largest bit map he can from those
available in the bitmaps directory, whether you have  a background gif or not.
The background is sized independently by how big the map window is and will be
that size no matter how many icons you have on the screen.  The background gif
is just window filler, in effect.

If you look at the directory /usr/OV/bitmaps/C you'll see collections of
files like modem.32.p and modem.32.m.  They'll be about
five modem files ... think of the p and m as plus and minus, one file is
the size 32 positive (white) overlay of a icon bitmap  and the .m
files is the minus (black) overlay of the same bitmap.  Use the bitmap
editor in X to look at these files.

You need to create a set of different bitmaps that will be used when the
symbol is resized.  Then when you resize your submap
the appropriate icon size will be used.

Hi all.

Does someone know how can i change the size of the bitmaps?, my problem is
that i have a background that is the map of the locations in the
enterprise,  but when we put the map, the symbols are bigger than the
locations of the map. Thanks in advanced.

Best Regards

Erika
