DO NOT HOT-LINK TO ICONS!
Please download sets and host them on your own server.
If a link here is to your marker set and you do not want it linked to here, please remove it from the wiki and post a note in the Summary in the edit window.

Dynamic Icons

These are icons that are created on the fly, usually in PHP using an imaging library.

• Custom Marker Maker

Upload an image (png, gif, jpg) and this page creates the 6 separate image files (image, shadow, printImage, mozPrintImage, printShadow and transparent) that make up a custom marker icon and suggests an array of x,y pixel coordinates that define the image map area used for capturing image clicks in non IE browsers. Transparency of the original image is preserved. Users see their image as a marker on a map and are presented with a zipped package for download that contain the generated images and some sample code. Free and simple to use.

• Draw Icons Dynamically

Shadows are created dynamically based on the icon's shape and scale. Almost any shape is possible.

• mapicon Factory

New interface and functionality! Create custom markers. Choose marker style, marker size, symbol sets, character sets, numbers, marker fill color, style color, and even a 3-D effect. All icons sets now include shadows. All users get access to first 10 icons in icon set. Subscription service for an annual fee of $19.95.

• Marker Maker

Creates a marker of any colour. Enter the RGB values and hit GO.

• PHP script which uses the webhues package posted above to make colored, numbered markers on the fly
• PHP script that takes an image and generates numbered markers (1-99) with many options for font size, color, placement, and kerning
• Shadowmaker

Create shadows for any bitmap image with transparency (png, gif)

• IconFactory Creates dynamic icons by using a secret (also note) feature of the Google Chart API. There's a Wizard to help you choose the settings, and a Blog article with details and examples.
• Dynamic Google Maps markers/icons with PHP

Create dynamic colored and labelled markers with PHP code using the image functions.

• MarkerIconOptions Wizard 1.1
