- Standard NeXT Distribution Images
-
- The images in the composite image palettes located as:
-
- /usr/lib/NextStep/Resources/Shared*.tiff
-
- are automatically grabbed by the shared library NXImage code
- on a look-up by name and inserted into Buttons or other appropriate
- views.
-
- The enclosed SystemBitmaps.nib includes both these
- and the images known to InterfaceBuilder.app by default, hence
- can be used in palettes without inclusion in a palette. Replacing
- /NextDeveloper/Apps/InterfaceBuilder.app/images.table with the
- one enclosed will cause IB to automatically display all of the
- system images, but not the IB specific ones in EVERY .nib you
- open, ready for drag to the appropriate place.
-
- NIBs can even be retro-fitted without compile to save space
- in existing apps, so long as you have an appropriate copy of IB.
-
-
- The SystemBitmaps.nib is really only especially useful to
- find the names of system bitmaps, because the images are layed
- out in matrixes of buttons. The ButtonCell Inspector for each button
- will show the image name, and a related hilighted name (if any).
-
- Running test interface on the .nib will allow you to press
- the buttons, of course, to see the toggle action between images.
-
- This is all already on your system, except the .nib and expanded
- images.table (though since you are reading the .rtf file, you likely
- already have the .nib and .table, too.
