IconPaintable

class IconPaintable(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Object

Implemented Interfaces: Paintable, SymbolicPaintable

Contains information found when looking up an icon in GtkIconTheme.

GtkIconPaintable implements GdkPaintable.

Constructors

class IconPaintable

classmethod new_for_file(file: File, size: int, scale: int) → IconPaintable

Creates a GtkIconPaintable for a file with a given size and scale.

The icon can then be rendered by using it as a GdkPaintable.

Parameters:

• file – a GFile

• size – desired icon size

• scale – the desired scale

Methods

class IconPaintable

get_file() → File | None

Gets the GFile that was used to load the icon.

Returns None if the icon was not loaded from a file.

get_icon_name() → str | None

Get the icon name being used for this icon.

When an icon looked up in the icon theme was not available, the icon theme may use fallback icons - either those specified to lookup_icon() or the always-available “image-missing”. The icon chosen is returned by this function.

If the icon was created without an icon theme, this function returns None.

is_symbolic() → bool

Checks if the icon is symbolic or not.

This currently uses only the file name and not the file contents for determining this. This behaviour may change in the future.

Note that to render a symbolic GtkIconPaintable properly (with recoloring), you have to set its icon name on a GtkImage.

Properties

class IconPaintable

props.file: File

The file representing the icon, if any.

props.icon_name: str

The icon name that was chosen during lookup.

props.is_symbolic: bool

Whether the icon is symbolic or not.
