## Description

The `gtk.ImageMenuItem` widget is a subclass of `gtk.MenuItem` that contains an image widget and a `gtk.AccelLabel` though a `gtk.ImageMenuItem` can be created that has no image and an empty label.

## Constructor

        gtk.ImageMenuItem(stock_id=None, accel_group=None)

`stock_id` : | the stock icon ID or `None` if no image is needed
`accel_group` : | the accel group to add the accel label mnemonic to
Returns : | a new `gtk.ImageMenuItem` widget

Creates a new `gtk.ImageMenuItem` with a stock label and image specified by `stock_id`. If `stock_id` is not a stock item then the image will be the "broken image" and the label text will be the string in `stock_id`. The label text will be parsed for underscore characters to indicate the mnemonic character for the accelerator.

If `stock_id` specifies a stock item and `accel_group` specifies a `gtk.AccelGroup` the accelerator is added to `accel_group`.

## Methods

        def set_image(image)

### gtk.ImageMenuItem.get_image

        def get_image()

Returns : | the image in the image menu item

The `get_image`() method gets the widget that is currently set as the image of image menu item. See `set_image`().
