gio.Icon Interface for icons. gio.Icon gobject.GInterface equal icon2 +-- gobject.GInterface +-- gio.Icon gio.Icon is required by gio.LoadableIcon. gio.Icon is implemented by gio.ThemedIcon, gio.FileIcon, gio.Emblem, gio.EmblemedIcon. gio.Icon is a very minimal interface for icons. It provides functions for checking the equality of two icons, hashing of icons and serializing an icon to and from strings. gio.Icon does not provide the actual pixmap for the icon as this is out of GIO's scope, however implementations of gio.Icon may contain the name of an icon (see gio.ThemedIcon), or the path to an icon (see gio.LoadableIcon). To check if two GIcons are equal, see gio.Icon.equal(). equal icon2 icon2 : the second gio.Icon The equal() method checks if two icons are equal.
