<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QIconEnginePlugin class provides an abstract base for custom <a href="qiconengine.html">QIconEngine</a> plugins.</p>
<p><b>Use <a href="qiconenginepluginv2.html">QIconEnginePluginV2</a> instead.</b></p>
<p>The icon engine plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom icon engines that can be loaded dynamically into applications through <a href="qicon.html">QIcon</a>. <a href="qicon.html">QIcon</a> uses the file or resource name's suffix to determine what icon engine to use.</p>
<p>Writing a icon engine plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions <a href="qiconengineplugin.html#keys">keys</a>() and <a href="qiconengineplugin.html#create">create</a>(), and exporting the class with the <a href="qtplugin.html#Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2">Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2</a>() macro.</p>
