# KAnimatedButton Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kdeui import *`

Inherits: QToolButton → QAbstractButton → QWidget → QObject

## Detailed Description

An extended version of QToolButton which can display an animated icon.

This widget extends QToolButton with the ability to display animation using a sequence of individual pixmaps. All you need to do is pass along a list of icon names and their size and everything else is taken care of.

Note:
  if you change the iconSize() via setIconSize(), you will need to call updateIcons() also to force reloading of the correct icon size.
