wx.grid display icon in a column header cell

I'd like to display an icon in one cell of the column headers. The intent is
to show the next column of data cells that will next be sent to a machine.

I have searched back through the forum for "grid" and also for "grid icon"
and found some old code (2003) that displays a triangle in a column header
cell (to indicate that the column is sorted) but its obviously for a very
old version of both the wxPython library and Python itself, and so for me
will take a lot of effort to research the changes and make it work (if in
fact I am capable of achieving that).

Please - is there a code sample available for Python 3 and the current
wxPython library (4.0.0b) that will accomplish this requirement?

Take a look at the GridLabelRenderer sample in the demo. It shows how you can draw the labels yourself. It just gives them a background color, but you can use the same technique to draw a bitmap or icon.
