Icon

Common

Component in Material Compose

A Material Design icon component that draws [imageVector] using [tint], with a default value of [LocalContentColor]. If [imageVector] has no intrinsic size, this component will use the recommended default size. Icon is an opinionated component designed to be used with single-color icons so that they can be tinted correctly for the component they are placed in. For multicolored icons and icons that should not be tinted, use [Color.Unspecified] for [tint]. For generic images that should not be tinted, and do not follow the recommended icon size, use the generic [androidx.compose.foundation.Image] instead. For a clickable icon, see [IconButton].
