Here are some Numeric terminal icons that I had laying around from working on the book.

For these to be useful, they would need to be uploaded as seperate files (and preferably incorporated into the post, so they are easy to select from).

Here are Jim's icons:

I don't feel like doing the others at the moment.

Great job everyone, but wouldn't a more appropriate place be in a wiki page that everyone can just edit, rather than having to scroll down through what could end up being several pages of posts?

[Yair]

You're probably right.

Yes, and on that Wiki page, you could group the icons based on how they are laid out in the functions palette.

Great idea - who's up creating the page?

BTW, the process of capturing the images could be scripted and creating a simple wiki page could be scripted, but the uploading could not. Michael, is there any way to upload a lot of images at one time?

I used the forums and gallery to upload multiple images at once...

Sorry to all for starting this off the wrong way. I was using the tool I knew (forums) instead of learning how to use Wiki. I was placing the images in a gallery using bulk upload, but even that supports only five files at a time. I thought of creating a Wiki with links to the images coming from the gallery, but... as crelf pointed out this will limit other people's ability to update/edit the gallery.

I've been taking a bit of time to look at how NI loaded and named their images on their web site for the HTML on-line manuals. Specifically, they used short names (8.3 DOS type naming) for most, and use a convention of 'C' as the first character for controls, 'I' for indicators, and 'funct', fun' or 'fn' as a suffix. This seems to be a good way to remember the names, and would make them easier to key in for those who would use them regularly. Their images are all GIFs, but I think PNG seems to be the accepted standard in the Wiki world...

This thread contains artwork for various LabVIEW block diagram constants, functions and VIs.

For the sake of continuity and to prevent confusion, anyone looking for artwork to use in postings or Wikis should look in the Block Diagram Images Wiki entry. I have deleted the images in my postings, and provided a Wiki link in their place.

The 8-dot-3 file names are there because they were required for some platforms and the printing code has never bothered to change. The system is in general a good idea, but you should consider picking more meaningful abbreviations for items since the option exists.
