Gtk2::IconFactory(3)

💖 Gtk2::IconFactory — bestie edition 💖

okay so. this is the manual page for Gtk2::IconFactory, aka the wrapper for GtkIconFactory, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. it's giving "little object that holds all ur icons so ur app can find them by name" energy and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gtk2::IconFactory — it's literally just a wrapper for GtkIconFactory. that's the whole name. no notes. 💅

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

here's the family tree, and yes it's a cute one:

✨ METHODS ✨

iconfactory = Gtk2::IconFactory->new

makes u a brand new, fresh-out-the-box icon factory. no arguments, no drama, just vibes. 🫶

$factory->add ($stock_id, $icon_set)

adds an icon set to the factory so it knows what's what. takes these:

• $stock_id (string) — the name/id string u want to register it under
• $icon_set (Gtk2::IconSet) — the actual icon set object going in

$factory->add_default

slaps this factory on as a default one. no arguments bestie, it just does the thing. ✨

iconset = $factory->lookup ($stock_id)

goes looking for an icon set by its stock id and hands it back to u.

• $stock_id (string) — the id string ur searching for

iconset = Gtk2::IconFactory->lookup_default ($stock_id)

same energy as lookup, except it's a class method digging through the default factories instead.

• $stock_id (string) — the id string ur searching for

$factory->remove_default

takes this factory back off the default list. un-defaulting it, if u will. bye bestie 👋
