Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gdk::Pixbuf::Pixbuf ( Pixbuf && src )
noexcept
Gdk::Pixbuf::~Pixbuf ( )
override noexcept
Gdk::Pixbuf::Pixbuf ( const Glib::RefPtr < Window >& src ,
int src_x ,
int src_y ,
int width ,
int height
)
protected

Transfers image data from a #GdkWindow and converts it to an RGB(A) representation inside a Gdk::Pixbuf .

In other words, copies image data from a server-side drawable to a client-side RGB(A) buffer. This allows you to efficiently read individual pixels on the client side.

This function will create an RGB pixbuf with 8 bits per channel with the same size specified by the width and height arguments. The pixbuf will contain an alpha channel if the window contains one.

If the window is off the screen, then there is no image data in the obscured/offscreen regions to be placed in the pixbuf. The contents of portions of the pixbuf corresponding to the offscreen region are undefined.

If the window you're obtaining data from is partially obscured by other windows, then the contents of the pixbuf areas corresponding to the obscured regions are undefined.

If the window is not mapped (typically because it's iconified/minimized or not on the current workspace), then an invalid object will be returned.

If memory can't be allocated for the return value, an invalid object will be returned instead.

Parameters
src Source window.
src_x Source X coordinate within the window.
src_y Source Y coordinate within the window.
width Width in pixels of region to get.
height Height in pixels of region to get.
Since gtkmm 2.12:
Gdk::Pixbuf::Pixbuf ( const :: Cairo::RefPtr < :: Cairo::Surface > & src ,
int src_x ,
int src_y ,
int width ,
int height
)
protected

Transfers image data from a Cairo::Surface and converts it to an RGB(A) representation inside a Gdk::Pixbuf .

This allows you to efficiently read individual pixels from cairo surfaces. For Gdk::Windows, use the constructor that takes a Gdk::Window instead.

This will create an RGB pixbuf with 8 bits per channel. The pixbuf will contain an alpha channel if the surface contains one.

Parameters
src Surface to copy from.
src_x Source X coordinate within the surface.
src_y Source Y coordinate within the surface.
width Width in pixels of region to get.
height Height in pixels of region to get.

Member Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr < Gdk::Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::add_alpha ( bool substitute_color ,
guint8 r ,
guint8 g ,
guint8 b
) const

Takes an existing pixbuf and adds an alpha channel to it.

If the existing pixbuf already had an alpha channel, the channel values are copied from the original; otherwise, the alpha channel is initialized to 255 (full opacity).

If substitute_color is true , then the color specified by ( r , g , b ) will be assigned zero opacity. That is, if you pass (255, 255, 255) for the substitute color, all white pixels will become fully transparent.

Parameters
substitute_color Whether to set a color to zero opacity. If this is false , then the ( r , g , b ) arguments will be ignored.
r Red value to substitute.
g Green value to substitute.
b Blue value to substitute.
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1.
Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::apply_embedded_orientation ( )

Takes an existing pixbuf and checks for the presence of an associated "orientation" option, which may be provided by the jpeg loader (which reads the exif orientation tag) or the tiff loader (which reads the tiff orientation tag, and compensates it for the partial transforms performed by libtiff).

If an orientation option/tag is present, the appropriate transform will be performed so that the pixbuf is oriented correctly.

Since gtkmm 2.12:
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf, or a reference to the input pixbuf (with an increased reference count).

double scale_y ,
InterpType interp_type ,
int overall_alpha
) const

Creates a transformation of the source image src by scaling by scale_x and scale_y then translating by offset_x and offset_y .

This gives an image in the coordinates of the destination pixbuf. The rectangle ( dest_x , dest_y , dest_width , dest_height ) is then composited onto the corresponding rectangle of the original destination image.

When the destination rectangle contains parts not in the source image, the data at the edges of the source image is replicated to infinity.

Parameters
dest The Gdk::Pixbuf into which to render the results.
dest_x The left coordinate for region to render.
dest_y The top coordinate for region to render.
dest_width The width of the region to render.
dest_height The height of the region to render.
offset_x The offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer).
offset_y The offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer).
scale_x The scale factor in the X direction.
scale_y The scale factor in the Y direction.
interp_type The interpolation type for the transformation.
overall_alpha Overall alpha for source image (0..255).

Creates a transformation of the source image src by scaling by scale_x and scale_y then translating by offset_x and offset_y , then composites the rectangle ( dest_x , dest_y , dest_width , dest_height ) of the resulting image with a checkboard of the colors color1 and color2 and renders it onto the destination image.

See composite_color_simple() for a simpler variant of this function suitable for many tasks.

Parameters

dest_x The left coordinate for region to render.
dest_y The top coordinate for region to render.
dest_width The width of the region to render.

int dest_x ,
int dest_y
) const

Copies a rectangular area from src_pixbuf to dest_pixbuf .

Conversion of pixbuf formats is done automatically.

If the source rectangle overlaps the destination rectangle on the same pixbuf, it will be overwritten during the copy operation. Therefore, you can not use this function to scroll a pixbuf.

Parameters

src_y Source Y coordinate within src_pixbuf .
width Width of the area to copy.
height Height of the area to copy.
dest_pixbuf Destination pixbuf.

int width ,
int height ,
bool preserve_aspect_ratio = true
)
static

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file.

The file format is detected automatically. The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size.

filename The path to the pixbuf file.
width The desired width
height The desired height

Gdk::PixbufError
static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_inline ( int data_length ,
const guint8 * data ,
bool copy_pixels = false
)
static

Create a Gdk::Pixbuf from a flat representation that is suitable for storing as inline data in a program.

This is useful if you want to ship a program with images, but don't want to depend on any external files.

GTK+ ships with a program called gdk-pixbuf-csource which allows for conversion of GdkPixbufs into such a inline representation. In almost all cases, you should pass the –raw flag to gdk-pixbuf-csource . A sample invocation would be:

gdk-pixbuf-csource –raw –name=myimage_inline myimage.png

For the typical case where the inline pixbuf is read-only static data, you don't need to copy the pixel data unless you intend to write to it, so you can pass false for copy_pixels . (If you pass –rle to gdk-pixbuf-csource , a copy will be made even if copy_pixels is false , so using this option is generally a bad idea.)

If you create a pixbuf from const inline data compiled into your program, it's probably safe to ignore errors, since things will always succeed. For non-const inline data, you could get out of memory. For untrusted inline data located at runtime, you could have corrupt inline data in addition.

Parameters
data_length Length in bytes of the data argument.
data Byte data containing a serialized GdkPixdata structure.
copy_pixels Whether to copy the pixel data, or use direct pointers to data for the resulting pixbuf.

static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_resource ( const std::string & resource_path )
static

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a resource.

The file format is detected automatically.

Parameters
resource_path The path of the resource file.
Exceptions
Gio::ResourceError
Gdk::PixbufError
Since gtkmm 3.12:
static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_resource ( const std::string & resource_path ,
int width ,
int height ,
bool preserve_aspect_ratio = true
)
static

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a resource.

The file format is detected automatically. The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, optionally preserving the image's aspect ratio. When preserving the aspect ratio, a width of -1 will cause the image to be scaled to the exact given height, and a height of -1 will cause the image to be scaled to the exact given width. When not preserving aspect ratio, a width or height of -1 means to not scale the image at all in that dimension.

Parameters
resource_path The path of the resource file.
width The desired width
height The desired height
preserve_aspect_ratio Whether the image's aspect ratio will be preserved when scaling.
Exceptions
Gio::ResourceError
Gdk::PixbufError
Since gtkmm 3.12:
static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_stream ( const Glib::RefPtr < Gio::InputStream > & stream ,
const Glib::RefPtr < Gio::Cancellable > & cancellable
)
static

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an input stream.

The file format is detected automatically. If nullptr is returned, then error will be set. The cancellable can be used to abort the operation from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Other possible errors are in the Gdk::PIXBUF_ERROR and IO_ERROR domains.

The stream is not closed.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters
stream A InputStream to load the pixbuf from.
cancellable Optional Cancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf, or nullptr if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, the image format is not supported, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, the stream contained invalid data, or the operation was cancelled.
static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_stream ( const Glib::RefPtr < Gio::InputStream > & stream )
static
static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_stream_at_scale ( const Glib::RefPtr < Gio::InputStream > & stream ,
int width ,
int height ,
bool preserve_aspect_ratio ,
const Glib::RefPtr < Gio::Cancellable > & cancellable
)
static

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an input stream.

The file format is detected automatically. If nullptr is returned, then error will be set. The cancellable can be used to abort the operation from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Other possible errors are in the Gdk::PIXBUF_ERROR and IO_ERROR domains.

The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, optionally preserving the image's aspect ratio.

When preserving the aspect ratio, a width of -1 will cause the image to be scaled to the exact given height, and a height of -1 will cause the image to be scaled to the exact given width. If both width and height are given, this function will behave as if the smaller of the two values is passed as -1.

When not preserving aspect ratio, a width or height of -1 means to not scale the image at all in that dimension.

The stream is not closed.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters
stream A InputStream to load the pixbuf from.
width The width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width.
height The height the image should have or -1 to not constrain the height.
preserve_aspect_ratio true to preserve the image's aspect ratio.
cancellable Optional Cancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf, or nullptr if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, the image format is not supported, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, the stream contained invalid data, or the operation was cancelled.

static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_xpm_data ( const char *const * data )
static

Creates a new pixbuf by parsing XPM data in memory.

This data is commonly the result of including an XPM file into a program's C source.

Parameters
data Pointer to inline XPM data.
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1.
static Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create_subpixbuf ( const Glib::RefPtr < Pixbuf >& src_pixbuf ,
int src_x ,
int src_y ,
int width ,
int height
)
static

Creates a new pixbuf which represents a sub-region of src_pixbuf .

The new pixbuf shares its pixels with the original pixbuf, so writing to one affects both. The new pixbuf holds a reference to src_pixbuf , so src_pixbuf will not be finalized until the new pixbuf is finalized.

Note that if src_pixbuf is read-only, this function will force it to be mutable.

Parameters
src_pixbuf A Gdk::Pixbuf .
src_x X coord in src_pixbuf .
src_y Y coord in src_pixbuf .
width Width of region in src_pixbuf .
height Height of region in src_pixbuf .
Returns
A new pixbuf.
void Gdk::Pixbuf::fill ( guint32 pixel )

Clears a pixbuf to the given RGBA value, converting the RGBA value into the pixbuf's pixel format.

The alpha will be ignored if the pixbuf doesn't have an alpha channel.

Parameters
pixel RGBA pixel to clear to (0xffffffff is opaque white, 0x00000000 transparent black).
Glib::RefPtr < Gdk::Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::flip ( bool horizontal = true ) const

Glib::ustring Gdk::Pixbuf::get_option ( const Glib::ustring & key ) const

Looks up key in the list of options that may have been attached to the pixbuf when it was loaded, or that may have been attached by another function using set_option().

For instance, the ANI loader provides "Title" and "Artist" options. The ICO, XBM, and XPM loaders provide "x_hot" and "y_hot" hot-spot options for cursor definitions. The PNG loader provides the tEXt ancillary chunk key/value pairs as options. Since 2.12, the TIFF and JPEG loaders return an "orientation" option string that corresponds to the embedded TIFF/Exif orientation tag (if present). Since 2.32, the TIFF loader sets the "multipage" option string to "yes" when a multi-page TIFF is loaded. Since 2.32 the JPEG and PNG loaders set "x-dpi" and "y-dpi" if the file contains image density information in dots per inch.

Parameters
key A nul-terminated string.
Returns
The value associated with key . This is a nul-terminated string that should not be freed or nullptr if key was not found.

void Gdk::Pixbuf::saturate_and_pixelate ( const Glib::RefPtr < Gdk::Pixbuf >& dest ,
float saturation ,
bool pixelate
) const

Modifies saturation and optionally pixelates src , placing the result in dest .

src and dest may be the same pixbuf with no ill effects. If saturation is 1.0 then saturation is not changed. If it's less than 1.0, saturation is reduced (the image turns toward grayscale); if greater than 1.0, saturation is increased (the image gets more vivid colors). If pixelate is true , then pixels are faded in a checkerboard pattern to create a pixelated image. src and dest must have the same image format, size, and rowstride.

Parameters
dest Place to write modified version of src .
saturation Saturation factor.
pixelate Whether to pixelate.
void Gdk::Pixbuf::save ( const std::string & filename ,
const Glib::ustring & type
) const

Saves pixbuf to a file in format type .

By default, "jpeg", "png", "ico" and "bmp" are possible file formats to save in, but more formats may be installed. The list of all writable formats can be determined by using get_formats() with is_writable().

Since gtkmm 3.6:
Parameters
filename The path of the file to be created.
type The file type.

) const

Saves pixbuf to a file in format type .

By default, "jpeg", "png", "ico" and "bmp" are possible file formats to save in, but more formats may be installed. TThe list of all writable formats can be determined by using get_formats() with Gdk::PixbufFormat::is_writable() .

The option_keys and option_values , if not empty, should contain pairs of strings that modify the save parameters. For example, "quality", "100".

Currently only a few parameters exist. JPEG images can be saved with a "quality" parameter; its value should be in the range [0,100]. Text chunks can be attached to PNG images by specifying parameters of the form "tEXt::key", where key is an ASCII string of length 1-79. The values are UTF-8 encoded strings. ICO images can be saved in depth 16, 24, or 32, by using the "depth" parameter. When the ICO saver is given "x_hot" and "y_hot" parameters, it produces a CUR instead of an ICO.

double offset_x ,
double offset_y ,
double scale_x ,
double scale_y ,
InterpType interp_type
) const

Creates a transformation of the source image src by scaling by scale_x and scale_y then translating by offset_x and offset_y , then renders the rectangle ( dest_x , dest_y , dest_width , dest_height ) of the resulting image onto the destination image replacing the previous contents.

Try to use scale_simple() first, this function is the industrial-strength power tool you can fall back to if scale_simple() isn't powerful enough.

If the source rectangle overlaps the destination rectangle on the same pixbuf, it will be overwritten during the scaling which results in rendering artifacts.

Parameters
dest The Gdk::Pixbuf into which to render the results.
dest_x The left coordinate for region to render.
dest_y The top coordinate for region to render.
dest_width The width of the region to render.
dest_height The height of the region to render.
offset_x The offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer).
offset_y The offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer).
scale_x The scale factor in the X direction.
scale_y The scale factor in the Y direction.
interp_type The interpolation type for the transformation.
Glib::RefPtr < Gdk::Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::scale_simple ( int dest_width ,
int dest_height ,
InterpType interp_type
) const

Create a new Gdk::Pixbuf containing a copy of src scaled to dest_width x dest_height .

Leaves src unaffected. interp_type should be Gdk::INTERP_NEAREST if you want maximum speed (but when scaling down Gdk::INTERP_NEAREST is usually unusably ugly). The default interp_type should be Gdk::INTERP_BILINEAR which offers reasonable quality and speed.

You can scale a sub-portion of src by creating a sub-pixbuf pointing into src ; see new_subpixbuf().

For more complicated scaling/compositing see scale() and composite() .

Parameters
dest_width The width of destination image.
dest_height The height of destination image.
interp_type The interpolation type for the transformation.
Returns
The new Gdk::Pixbuf , or nullptr if not enough memory could be allocated for it.
