d.icons

[Jim Nolan]

I originally wrote:

My products require a special icon to use as a label and
I am not sure how to go about it.  Instead of a map with 
a legend my map requires the use of an icon that looks
something like an egg.  How can I construct this icon?
Is there any way to construct an egg using the mouse or
digitizer instead of the cumbersome editors.

Thanks,

Nalneesh Gaur got me on my way with:

Easiest way would be to use vi or any editor and then
type it in a file and use d.icons to display it

PARDON MY RT BUT YOU USE X and + to define the icon.

Now my question is how can I insert text in this egg or show
some kind of pointer to an area?

Thanks ,
