change the icon of a development node using maya python api

[Anonymous]

I am developing a node using Maya Python api.
However, I want to know if I can change the icon of the developed node when it receives a certain input value.

And I want to change the icon of the node in the outliner.

Hi psh845

You can add icons for custom nodes by creating correctly named images in the XBMLANGPATH.

For example if your node is called MyNode, create an icon called MyNode.png and an icon called out_MyNode.png (For outliner) and put them in any folder which is in your XBMLANGPATH. You can see those folders by typing:

getenv XBMLANGPATH 

in the script editor

Hope it helps
