IconInfo.loadSurface

Renders an icon previously looked up in an icon theme using gtk.icon_theme.IconTheme.lookupIcon; the size will be based on the size passed to gtk.icon_theme.IconTheme.lookupIcon. Note that the resulting surface may not be exactly this size; an icon theme may have icons that differ slightly from their nominal sizes, and in addition GTK+ will avoid scaling icons that it considers sufficiently close to the requested size or for which the source image would have to be scaled up too far. (This maintains sharpness.). This behaviour can be changed by passing the gtk.types.IconLookupFlags.ForceSize flag when obtaining the #GtkIconInfo. If this flag has been specified, the pixbuf returned by this function will be scaled to the exact size.
