Can anyone tell me what the icons represent in Xcode 4.5's Find Panel or Symbol Navigator?

enter image description here

Some examples are:

  • blue background containing 'M' (method maybe?)
  • green containing
  • 'x'
  • purple containing 'C'
  • green containing 'L'
  • green containing 'V'
  • purple containing 'Pr' (protocol i guess)

I have searched both in Xcode's Organiser Help and online to no avail. If there is a global list of all Xcode icons that would be even better!

  • What do you mean by the XCode "Find Panel"? I am a bit lost here. To post a screenshot, press Command+shift+4 which will give you a crosshair and drag a box over the place you are talking about to save it on Mac Desktop, then use the Upload command in your "edit" question section and post it there. – Steven Oct 17 '12 at 15:34
  • if i understand right. What you are talking about IS NOT the find panel. It is above the find panel. I believe that is a file navigation panel. – Steven Oct 17 '12 at 15:42

This is what I know.

  • The M thing denotes the Method
  • The C thing denotes the Class
  • The P thing denotes a Property
  • The O denotes a Outlet
  • The V is a instance variable (unless it is known by another name)
  • The C with underline, I think is a interface extension inside the .m file
  • The Pr is a protocol

Never Saw a 'L' before.

  • This addresses most of the symbols so i'll mark it as 'answered'. Poor documentation from Apple. – Andy13 Oct 18 '12 at 07:48
