You are free to use any icons for your layers. atlasFX comes with a basic set of icons, but you can also create your own icons or reuse icons from other applications. The section Additional Links has a list of web services that offer license free icons.

With a click on the default icon, a dialog opens where you can select the icons for your data set. You can choose the desired icon and drag it onto the predefined icon. For point data, the icon will be shown in the map and the legend. For area and raster data, the icons are only displayed in the legend.

With the button you can upload your own icons. Graphics in the format PNG and SWF are supported. Note that uploaded icons are available to all users of your atlasFX.

In order to load icons into atlasFX, you don't have to create a new map. Simply use the button in the atlasFX toolbar.
