[Maya-Python] Call icon from exteranal Folder

[AMAL ARJUN]

Hi, I want to call an icon from external folder. How can I do that in Maya
with Python


*cmds.nodeIconButton( style='iconAndTextHorizontal',image1='sphere.png',
command=createsphere, label='Sphere', fn="boldLabelFont")*


so, instead of 'sphere.png' how can I call an icon from external folder.

What have you tried so far? What did Google say? What documentation have
you found that didn't help?

I'm so sorry. Actually, I can call only icons from the default location
(maya/2016/prefs/icons). But what I want is to call from a different
location. I referred google on this. Couldn't find a solution to this. So
sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm just learning python.

I tested and full path works.

W = cmds.window()
cmds.columnLayout(adjustableColumn=True)
cmds.nodeIconButton( style='iconAndTextHorizontal',image1=
'C:/Users/joey/documents/images/mystery2.png', command='createsphere', label
='Sphere', fn="boldLabelFont")
cmds.showWindow(W)
