Displaying Grid Data as Icons

You can display grid cell data as icons to provide quicker, more meaningful visual feedback on certain types of data, such as status flags or other data where the internal value of a flag is not directly meaningful to a user. The ability to display grid data as icons enables you to associate values or ranges of values with an icon image, and then display that image in a grid, instead of the underlying data value.

You can optionally make icons clickable so that a behavior is associated with them. You can also optionally create tooltip popups to display supplementary information about the data. These tooltips are displayed when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the icon image.
