public abstract Image getIcon( int iconKind )
Parameters
- iconKind
- The kind of icon requested. This should be
one of the constant values ICON_COLOR_16x16, ICON_COLOR_32x32,
ICON_MONO_16x16, or ICON_MONO_32x32.
Returns
An image object representing the requested icon. May
return null if no suitable icon is available.
Description
This method returns an image object that can be used to
represent the bean in toolboxes, toolbars, etc. Icon images
will typically be GIFs, but may in future include other formats.
Beans aren't required to provide icons and may return null from
this method.
There are four possible flavors of icons (16x16 color,
32x32 color, 16x16 mono, 32x32 mono). If a bean choses to only
support a single icon we recommend supporting 16x16 color.
We recommend that icons have a "transparent" background
so they can be rendered onto an existing background.
