What does the icon editor allow you to do in relation to VI icons?

The icon editor in LabVIEW primarily facilitates the manipulation of graphical icons associated with Virtual Instruments (VIs). It allows users to create new icons, edit existing ones, and enhance their visual representation. While importing external images for icons is a feature in some graphic software, the icon editor itself focuses on modifying icons made within the editor.

The capability to create new icons from scratch ensures that users can design icons tailored to their specific needs, incorporating various shapes, colors, and text. Additionally, editing existing icons is integral to maintain clarity and coherence in project visuals.

Overall, the icon editor provides an effective user interface for visual customization of VI icons, ensuring they accurately represent the functionality and purpose of the VIs they are associated with. This functionality is crucial in maintaining organized and easily navigable LabVIEW projects.
