Introduction

The open source VI icon editor replaces the version of the icon editor that shipped with LabVIEW, with one that is currently maintained by both NI and the community.

Why The Icon Editor First?

The main reason to start with the Icon Editor its because it is a VI based component. The difference now is that instead of R&D developing those features, they can also be developed by the LabVIEW community on GitHub. There are other features NI wants to release, but by starting small we can ensure that we are efficient on building a strong process before opening up to other repos.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Shorten the timeframe for bugfixes and enhancements for the next shipping version of LabVIEW.
