    <para>A <link
linkend="class-gtkiconset"><classname>gtk.IconSet</classname></link>
contains a set of variants for a single icon. The variants provide icons of
different sizes and for different widget states. The variants can be added
with the <link
linkend="method-gtkiconset--add-source"><methodname>add_source</methodname>()</link> 
method.</para>

      <para>The <methodname>render_icon</methodname>() method renders an
icon using <link
linkend="method-gtkstyle--render-icon"><function>gtk.Style.render_icon()</function></link>. 
In most cases, <link
linkend="method-gtkwidget--render-icon"><function>gtk.Widget.render_icon()</function></link> 
is better, since it automatically provides most of the arguments from the
current widget settings.  This method never returns <literal>None</literal>;
if the icon can't be rendered (perhaps because an image file fails to load),
a default "missing image" icon will be returned instead.</para>

	</varlistentry>
      </variablelist>

      <para>The <methodname>add_source</methodname>() method adds the <link
linkend="class-gtkiconsource"><classname>gtk.IconSource</classname></link>
specified by <parameter>source</parameter> to the icon set.  Icon sets have
a list of <link
linkend="class-gtkiconsource"><classname>gtk.IconSource</classname></link>,
which they use as base icons for rendering icons in different states and
sizes. Icons are scaled, made to look insensitive, etc. in the <link
linkend="method-gtkiconset--render-icon"><methodname>render_icon</methodname>()</link>
method, but <link
linkend="class-gtkiconset"><classname>gtk.IconSet</classname></link> needs
base images to work with. The base images and when to use them are described
by a <link
linkend="class-gtkiconsource"><classname>gtk.IconSource</classname></link>.</para>

      <para>An example of when you'd use this method: a web browser's
"<guibutton>Back to Previous Page</guibutton>" 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
or 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.</para>

      <para>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. <link
linkend="class-gtkiconset"><classname>gtk.IconSet</classname></link> 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.</para>

      <para>The <link
linkend="constructor-gtkiconset"><methodname>gtk.IconSet</methodname>()</link> 
constructor creates a new icon set with a default icon source based on the
given pixbuf.</para>
