Detailed Description

This manages a set of variants of a particular icon An IconSet contains variants for different sizes and widget states.

Icons in an icon factory are named by a stock ID, which is a simple string identifying the icon. Each GtkStyle has a list of GtkIconFactory derived from the current theme; those icon factories are consulted first when searching for an icon. If the theme doesn't set a particular icon, GTK+ looks for the icon in a list of default icon factories, maintained by gtk_icon_factory_add_default() and gtk_icon_factory_remove_default(). Applications with icons should add a default icon factory with their icons, which will allow themes to override the icons for the application.

Deprecated:
Use Gtk::IconTheme instead.

void Gtk::IconSet::add_source ( const IconSource source)

Icon sets have a list of Gtk::IconSource, which they use as base icons for rendering icons in different states and sizes.

Icons are scaled, made to look insensitive, etc. in render_icon(), but Gtk::IconSet needs base images to work with. The base images and when to use them are described by a Gtk::IconSource.

This function copies source, so you can reuse the same source immediately without affecting the icon set.

An example of when you’d use this function: a web browser’s "Back to Previous Page" icon might point in a different direction in Hebrew and in English; it might look different when insensitive; and it might change size depending on toolbar mode (small/large icons). So a single icon set would contain all those variants of the icon, and you might add a separate source for each one.

You should nearly always add a “default” icon source with all fields wildcarded, which will be used as a fallback if no more specific source matches. Gtk::IconSet always prefers more specific icon sources to more generic icon sources. The order in which you add the sources to the icon set does not matter.

new_from_pixbuf() creates a new icon set with a default icon source based on the given pixbuf.

Deprecated: 3.10: Use Gtk::IconTheme instead.

Parameters
sourceA Gtk::IconSource.
Glib::RefPtr<IconSet> Gtk::IconSet::copy ( ) const

Copies icon_set by value.

Deprecated: 3.10: Use Gtk::IconTheme instead.

Returns
A new Gtk::IconSet identical to the first.

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GtkIconSet* Gtk::IconSet::gobj_copy ( ) const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

static Glib::RefPtr<IconSet> Gtk::IconSet::lookup_default ( const Gtk::StockID stock_id)
static

Looks for an icon in the list of default icon factories.

For display to the user, you should use Gtk::Style::lookup_icon_set() on the Gtk::Style for the widget that will display the icon, instead of using this function directly, so that themes are taken into account.

Deprecated: 3.10: Use Gtk::IconTheme instead.

Parameters
stock_idAn icon name.
Returns
A Gtk::IconSet, or nullptr.
void Gtk::IconSet::operator delete ( void *  ,
std::size_t   
)
protected
IconSet& Gtk::IconSet::operator= ( const IconSet )
delete
void Gtk::IconSet::reference ( ) const

Increment the reference count for this object.

You should never need to do this manually - use the object via a RefPtr instead.

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> Gtk::IconSet::render_icon_pixbuf ( const Glib::RefPtr< StyleContext >&  context,
IconSize  size 
)

Renders an icon using gtk_render_icon_pixbuf().

In most cases, Gtk::Widget::render_icon_pixbuf() is better, since it automatically provides most of the arguments from the current widget settings. This function never returns nullptr; if the icon can’t be rendered (perhaps because an image file fails to load), a default "missing image" icon will be returned instead.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Deprecated: 3.10: Use Gtk::IconTheme instead.

Parameters
contextA Gtk::StyleContext.
sizeIcon size (Gtk::IconSize). A size of (GtkIconSize)-1 means render at the size of the source and don’t scale.
Returns
A Gdk::Pixbuf to be displayed.
void Gtk::IconSet::unreference ( ) const

Decrement the reference count for this object.

You should never need to do this manually - use the object via a RefPtr instead.
