GdkPixbuf

An object holding information about images in memory.

Object Hierarchy

GObject
`-- GdkPixbuf

Description

A GdkPixbuf is an object that holds information about a whole image (all the color values [red/green/blue/alpha] for every single pixel) in memory.

Pixbufs can be created by loading an image file via GdkPixbuf::new_from_file, by using a given GD image object as source (GdkPixbuf::new_from_gd) or just using the normal constructor, creating an empty image.

A GdkPixbuf itself just contains the information, it does not display it in any way. To display an image in your application, you most likely want to use a GtkImage which uses a GdkPixbuf as source.

Constructors

GdkPixbuf (GdkColorspace colorspace, bool has_alpha, int bits_per_sample, int width, int height);

-- Creates an empty image with the desired size.

GdkPixbuf::new_from_file (string filename);

-- Creates a pixbuf based on an image file.

GdkPixbuf::new_from_file_at_size (string filename, int width, int height);

-- Load an image file and scales it to the given size.

--

-- Create a pixbuf based on a GD image object
