Here is the answer.
Get the image from from the above path. Choose the icon image which you would like yo use.
As shown below, say the icon which chose is a pie chart as marked with black outline.

Since the image is 32*32, you would calculate as left=32*8= 256 and Top=224.
Now in your Elements.xml use this counts as:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\IMAGESSo if you are creating custom ribbon buttons, and if you want to use one of the built in button image, then how would you set
