    Allgeneric icon to use
  • The setting for each environment is of the form "env"->image or "env"->{image1,image2,…}.
  • When an icon of a particular size is required, the immediately larger imagei is selected and scaled down to the required size.
  • Each image can be an explicit Image object, Graphics, or any other expression, which if necessary will be rasterized.
  • A setting of Automatic for IconRules or for a particular element will generate an icon automatically from the contents of the cloud object.
  • If a particular element is needed that has not been specified explicitly, it will be interpolated from other elements given.
