Detailed Description

The GdkPixbuf structure contains information that describes an image in memory.

Structures

Convenient Construction

gdkPixbuf is the result of collapsing the constructors of GdkPixbuf (gdkPixbufNew, gdkPixbufNewFromFile, gdkPixbufNewFromFileAtSize, gdkPixbufNewFromFileAtScale, gdkPixbufNewFromData, gdkPixbufNewFromXpmData, NULL, gdkPixbufNewFromStream, gdkPixbufNewFromStreamAtScale) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.

Enums and Flags

GdkPixbufError
An error code in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR domain. Many gdk-pixbuf operations can cause errors in this domain, or in the G_FILE_ERROR domain.
corrupt-image
An image file was broken somehow.
insufficient-memory
Not enough memory.
bad-option-value
A bad option was passed to a pixbuf save module.
unknown-type
Unknown image type.
unsupported-operation
Don't know how to perform the given operation on the type of image at hand.
failed
Generic failure code, something went wrong.
GdkColorspace
This enumeration defines the color spaces that are supported by the gdk-pixbuf library. Currently only RGB is supported.
GdkPixbufAlphaMode
These values can be passed to gdkPixbufRenderToDrawableAlpha to control how the alpha channel of an image should be handled. This function can create a bilevel clipping mask (black and white) and use it while painting the image. In the future, when the X Window System gets an alpha channel extension, it will be possible to do full alpha compositing onto arbitrary drawables. For now both cases fall back to a bilevel clipping mask.
bilevel
A bilevel clipping mask (black and white) will be created and used to draw the image. Pixels below 0.5 opacity will be considered fully transparent, and all others will be considered fully opaque.
full
For now falls back to GDK_PIXBUF_ALPHA_BILEVEL. In the future it will do full alpha compositing.

Properties

bits-per-sample [integer : Read / Write / Construct Only]
The number of bits per sample. Currently only 8 bit per sample are supported. Allowed values: [1,16] Default value: 8
colorspace [GdkColorspace : Read / Write / Construct Only]
The colorspace in which the samples are interpreted. Default value: GDK_COLORSPACE_RGB
has-alpha [logical : Read / Write / Construct Only]
Whether the pixbuf has an alpha channel. Default value: FALSE
height [integer : Read / Write / Construct Only]
The number of rows of the pixbuf. Allowed values: >= 1 Default value: 1
n-channels [integer : Read / Write / Construct Only]
The number of samples per pixel. Currently, only 3 or 4 samples per pixel are supported. Allowed values: >= 0 Default value: 3
pixels [R object : Read / Write / Construct Only]
A pointer to the pixel data of the pixbuf.
rowstride [integer : Read / Write / Construct Only]
The number of bytes between the start of a row and the start of the next row. This number must (obviously) be at least as large as the width of the pixbuf. Allowed values: >= 1 Default value: 1
width [integer : Read / Write / Construct Only]
The number of columns of the pixbuf. Allowed values: >= 1 Default value: 1
