     79Before diving into the topic it's useful to know some basics about how painting is done.
     80
     81 * The icon engine uses a base image as a surface on which subsequent drawing commands are applied (note that there are other ways to define the base surface).
     82 * The resulting surface has exactly the size of the base image.
     83 * All factors or values are floating point numbers usually running from 0.0 to 1.0.
     84 * Coordinates are also floating point numbers.
     85 * 0.0 0.0 is the upper left corner.
     86 * Keys referenced by commands are case sensitive.
     87 * Commands are always lowercase.
