Icon sets have a list of #GtkIconSource, which they use as base icons for rendering icons in different states and sizes. Icons are scaled, made to look insensitive, etc. in gtk_icon_set_render_icon(), but #GtkIconSet needs base images to work with. The base images and when to use them are described by a #GtkIconSource.
This function copies source, so you can reuse the same source immediately
without affecting the icon set.
An example of when you’d use this function: a web browser’s "Back to Previous Page" 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/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.
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. #GtkIconSet 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.
gtk_icon_set_new_from_pixbuf() creates a new icon set with a default icon source based on the given pixbuf.
a #GtkIconSource
Obtains a list of icon sizes this icon set can render. The returned array must be freed with g_free().
Renders an icon using gtk_style_render_icon(). In most cases, gtk_widget_render_icon() is better, since it automatically provides most of the arguments from the current widget settings. This function never returns %NULL; if the icon can’t be rendered (perhaps because an image file fails to load), a default "missing image" icon will be returned instead.

Renders an icon using gtk_render_icon_pixbuf() and converts it to a cairo surface.

Decrements the reference count on icon_set, and frees memory
if the reference count reaches 0.
Creates a new #GtkIconSet. A #GtkIconSet represents a single icon in various sizes and widget states. It can provide a #GdkPixbuf for a given size and state on request, and automatically caches some of the rendered #GdkPixbuf objects.
Normally you would use gtk_widget_render_icon_pixbuf() instead of using #GtkIconSet directly. The one case where you’d use #GtkIconSet is to create application-specific icon sets to place in a #GtkIconFactory.
Creates a new #GtkIconSet with pixbuf as the default/fallback
source image. If you don’t add any additional #GtkIconSource to the
icon set, all variants of the icon will be created from pixbuf,
using scaling, pixelation, etc. as required to adjust the icon size
or make the icon look insensitive/prelighted.
