Class icon

Class icons are images used to symbolize each class. A "second version" of class icons were designed by SwagDog for the SwagDog Class Icon Custom T-Shirt Contest.

The following code example displays the class icon of the player on myframe:

myframe.icon = myframe:CreateTexture(nil,"CENTER"); -- create texture as child of myframe

myframe.icon:SetAllPoints(myframe); -- copy dimensions of myframe to icon

local _,class = UnitClass("player"); -- get non-localized class name

myframe.icon:SetTexture("Interface\\GLUES\\CHARACTERCREATE\\UI-CHARACTERCREATE-CLASSES"); -- this is the image containing all class icons

local coords = CLASS_ICON_TCOORDS[class]; -- get the coordinates of the class icon we want

myframe.icon:SetTexCoord(unpack(coords)); -- cut out the region with our class icon according to coords

The class icon of the Death Knight is an axe with a skull on it, referring to how Death Knights are brutal and undead beings.
