Icons

Each node has two graphical representations. One appears on the SAS Enterprise Miner node Toolbar that is positioned above the process flow diagram. The other graphical representation appears when you drag and drop an icon from the toolbar onto the process flow diagram. The icon that appears on the toolbar requires a 16x16 pixel image and the one that appears in the process flow diagram requires a 32x32 pixel image. Both images should be stored as .gif files. For example, consider the two images here:

When deployed, the 16x16 pixel image appears on the toolbar as follows:

The 32x32 pixel image is used by SAS Enterprise Miner to generate the following icon:

This icon appears on the process flow diagram.

The two gif files must reside in specific folders on the SAS Enterprise Miner installation's middle-tier server, or on the client/server if you use the workstation installation. The exact path depends on your operating system and where your SAS software is installed, but on all systems the folders are found under the SAS configuration directory. Specifically, the 16x16 image should be stored in the ...\SAS\Config\Levn\analyticsPlatform\apps\EnterpriseMiner\ext\gif16 folder, and the 32x32 image should be stored in the ...\SAS\Config \Levn\analyticsPlatform\apps\EnterpriseMiner\ext\gif32 folder. For example, on a typical Microsoft Windows installation, the full paths are, respectively, as follows:

Both gif files must have the same filename. Because they are stored in different folders, a name conflict does not arise. You can use any available software to generate the images. The preceding images were generated with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. The 32x32 image was generated first, and then the 16x16 image was created by rescaling the larger image.
