We just posted a new iRise iDoc for free download that contains 1,000 16×16 icons for use in iRise visualizations. Since all of the icons are maintained in a datasheet, you can easily add your own. Searching and tagging make it easy and fast to find the icon you need. Import the iDoc to your Definition Center so everyone can use it. To get the free iDoc, click here.

Everything looks better on a Mac, right? And iRise is no exception.
While iRise is not ‘officially’ supporting iRise on the Mac yet, people are already using iRise Studio and iRise Reader on the Mac. So don’t think that you can’t experience the power of visualization on iRise because you are a Mac user, because you can.
iRise’s QA department is also starting to do some preliminary testing with iRise on the latest versions of the 2 emulators to gain some hands-on experience. This blog post discusses some of the Windows operating system or OS emulators that people have been using on the Mac and identifies a couple of key points to keep in mind.
The two emulators which let you run Windows software side-by-side in the Mac OS include:
iRise probably works with Apple’s Boot Camp (which lets you partition you hard drive to dual-boot Windows and the Mac OS), but the two emulator products are being looked at first. Note that the Windows emulators or virtualization software mentioned above lets you run Windows side-by-side within the Mac OS.
Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- RAM - 4 gigabytes of RAM is recommended due to the overhead of running the Mac OS as well as the emulator
- Studio and Reader only – we are not currently looking into running Definition Center on the Mac and do not have any experience with this combination
- Browser – you will need to run the Internet Explorer browser as iRise is not compatible with Safari
- Issues - Parallels seems to have a couple of re-paint issues on newer Java applications that do not occur in Fusion
If you have comments, questions or real life experiences to share, please visit the iRise User Community on Catalyze. We have also posted details of what we are currently testing in our QA department in the iRise General Forum and have started a discussion topic called iRise on the Mac.
