The Icon Editor dialog box is a built-in tool in the LabVIEW IDE to help create custom icons for VIs. The VI Icon is an important documentation tool because it controls the appearance of the VI as a SubVI on the Block Diagram. In LabVIEW 2009 the Icon Editor was completely redone. This page is for the Icon Editor for LabVIEW 2009 and later. For the Icon Editor before LabVIEW 2009 see the page Icon Editor (LabVIEW 8.6 and Earlier).
