IconData[type,value]

generates an icon of the specified type assuming the value given.

Details and Options

  • In IconData[type,value], possible settings for type include:
  • "AirTemperature"air temperature
    "MoonPhase"moon illumination fraction
    "RelativeHumidity"humidity fraction
    "WindDirection"wind direction
    "WindSpeed"wind speed
    "OrientationIndicator"marker for RulePlot state
  • In IconData[type,value], the value can be a Quantity object with appropriate units.
  • It can also be a number that is interpreted as follows:
  • "AirTemperature"°C
    "WindDirection"°
    "WindSpeed"km/h

Basic Examples  (3)

Show icons for air temperature:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["AirTemperature", ["22 C"]]

Relative humidity:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["RelativeHumidity", 0.64]

Wind speed:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["WindSpeed", ["15 mph"]]

Direction from which the wind is blowing:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["WindDirection", 45]

Icon for the moon phase:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["MoonPhase", MoonPhase[["June 23, 1988"]]]

Icon for orientation indicator at an angle in radians:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["OrientationIndicator", Pi / 4]

Scope  (3)

Show the orientation at a 45° angle from the top:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["OrientationIndicator", Quantity[45, "AngularDegrees"]]

Show a sequence of state rotations for RulePlot:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["OrientationIndicator", {#, 3}]& /@ Range[0, 3]

Orientation indicators are circular when there is only a single state possible:

Wolfram Language code: IconData["OrientationIndicator", {1, 1}]
