Class IconImage

java.lang.Object
  ix.iface.util.IconImage

public class IconImage
extends java.lang.Object

Class used to set an appropriate icon image for a frame. This image is used when the platform / window manager wants an image to display when the frame is "minimized" / iconified.

The image is selected based on the frame class, as determined by which of the setIconImage methods is called. The code that initializes the frame sould contain a line that looks something like this:

     frame.setIconImage(IconImage.getIconImage(frame));
 

In some cases, the declared frame class may not be distinctive, and then some other object should be used. Of course, there needs to be a corresponding method in this class.

In effect, this class is not a general utility - just a way to put all of the IconImage information in one place.
