Modifying the Appearance of Elements

All of the GoldSim elements have default symbols (graphical images by which the element is represented in the graphics pane The primary portion of the GoldSim interface, where the graphical depiction of the model is shown.).

One of the most powerful ways to document and visually augment your model is to replace the default symbols with customized symbols. This is particularly useful for Containers. For example, you may want to replace the image of a particular Container An element that acts like a "box" or a "folder" into which other elements can be placed. It can be used to create hierarchical models. with a schematic or diagram of the subsystem that it represents.
