How to use user-defined icon for agent display

[farheart]

Create a new display,  when editing agent style, there are only 5 marks for
choosing.
Is there any way to allow user to use self-defined icon instead of embedded
marks?
(Especially for the Value Style)

If no such a function available now, I will appreciate if someone can tell
me where
source code should I pay attention so that I can try to realize such a
function by my
self.

Thanks,

You can use any bitmap image as an agent icon.  In the display editor, click "Select Icon File" and point to the file that you would like to use.  As a performance note, it's better to use images that are close to the actual scale on the screen.  Large images that are scaled down may hurt performance.

Eric,

Thanks for your reply.

However, where is the display editor?
When I double-click the display created, it shows "options edit", under
Agent Style, I can't found anything that allow me to change the icon....

Could you help me on this?

Sorry for the mixup - the icon file option is only available in the 2D displays.  For GIS displays in RS.1.2, you can load a Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) - http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sld which is an XML file that describes the shape, color, size, and other properties of the agent icons in the map display.  RS.1.2 does not have a built in SLD editor, but there are several freely available such as uDig (http://udig.refractions.net/) that you can use to create an SLD file and then load into RS using the "Load SLD" button.
