The Lbutton class is text inside a border with a default color that supports the on_click event.

The Lbutton_pixmap class is a Lbutton with several modifications to more precisely support pixmaps. Many other classes such as Lcombobox, Ldatebox, Lspinner, and Lscrollbar use this class to for their small buttons. This helps makes the small buttons look and feel more consistent without having to code for the special needs of these pixmaps in each of the classes that use them.

If you want to use an image rather than text in the button, please use the Limage class rather than the Lbutton class.
