## Description
The Icon component provides access to a collection of Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) images, chosen to be useful as icons in a Perspective session.

The materials icon library is a primary source for icons, see https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material+Icons. You can also add your own custom repository of icons. For more information on icons, see [Images and Icons in Perspective](ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/images-and-icons-in-perspective.md).

:::note
When attempting to change the color of an icon via style class, set the desired color using the Text category's Color property.

## Properties

Most Properties have binding options. For more information on Bindings, see [Types of Bindings in Perspective](ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/bindings-in-perspective/bindings-in-perspective.md).
This section only documents the Props Category of properties. The other Categories are described on the [Perspective Component Properties](ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/perspective-component-properties.md) page.

## Component Events

The [Perspective Event Types Reference](appendix/reference-pages/perspective-event-types-reference.md) page describes all the possible component event types for Perspective components. Not all component events support each Perspective component. The [Component Events and Actions](ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/component-events-and-actions.md) page shows how to configure events and actions on a Perspective component. Component scripting is handled separately and can be accessed from the Component menubar or by right clicking on the component.
