How to use Icon class
by Verdon Vaillancourt

The icon class was developed to provide a global set of icons for any module developer 
to easily use, so that there is a consistant presentation across all modules.



Using the icon class in your module is simple. Just add a line like the following ...

    $edit_icon = Icon::show('edit');
    echo $edit_icon;

You can also effect the alt text of the icon like this ...

    $edit_icon = Icon::show('edit', dgettext('mymod', 'Edit this widget'));
    echo $edit_icon;

A real world example with a link might look like this ... 

    $edit_icon = Icon::show('edit', dgettext('mymod', 'Edit widget'));
    $vars['id'] = $this->id;
    $vars['aop'] = 'edit_widget';
    return PHPWS_Text::secureLink($edit_icon, 'mymod', $vars);
