Custom tools - icons and symbols

[Steve]

I've been passed a task of presenting a web based image onto which a user can place markers (symbols such as triangles, squares, circles, dotted lines etc, preferrably in preset colours). The brief was to present the users with a list of these symbols that they could select then click on the image to 'place' them (basically, custom brushes or stamps - similar to the circle and rectangle already present).

I've been going through the custom tools options but can't see if this is possible nor not.

Is it possible, or is this something that hasn't been implimented (yet)?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Hello Steve,

The described functionality is not available out of the box in the ImageEditor, but you can customize its built-in InsertImage dialog in order to achieve it. For example, you can replace the insert URL option of the dialog with a predefined set of images, that will be inserted when the use click over them (you can use the logic of the click handler of the Set button in the InsertImage.ascx dialog).

Detailed information on how to customize the ImageEditor's dialogs is available here: Customize Built-in Dialogs.

Hope this information will be helpful for you in order to implement the desired custom scenario.

Regards,
