SYNOPSIS
icon
DESCRIPTION
Icon is a pixel-level editor for textures and small bitmaps. Icon's
layer has in the lower right a magnified grid, where each square repre‐
sents a pixel, and in the upper left the image in real size. Editing
is done on the magnified grid. Pixels can be turned black by pressing
the left mouse button, and can be turned white by pressing the middle
button. Many of the command icons require a rectangle to be swept;
this is done either by the middle button (which supplies a fixed 16×16
rectangle) or by the right button (for rectangles of any size).
