What is an icon button in software development?

An icon button is a graphical control element that allows users to interact with a software application. It typically consists of an icon or image that represents a specific action, command, or task. Icon buttons are commonly used in user interfaces to provide visual cues for common actions, such as opening a file or saving a document. They can also be used to provide quick access to frequently used commands or tools. In many cases, icon buttons are more intuitive and efficient than traditional text-based menu items or toolbar buttons. As a result, they are often used in conjunction with other elements, such as drop-down menus and context menus.
