# setImage(_:forSegment:)

Sets the image for the specified segment.

## Declaration

```swift
func setImage(_ image: NSImage?, forSegment segment: Int)
```

## Parameters

- `image`: The image to apply to the segment or nil if you want to clear the existing image. Images are not scaled to fit inside a segment. If the image is larger than the available space, it is clipped.
- `segment`: The index of the segment whose image you want to set. This method raises an exception (doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSExceptionName/rangeException) if the index is out of bounds.
