In memory image handling and representation.

The class is used to represent an image in memory. The in-memory representation uses either a three byte RGB representation or a four byte RGBA representation. Pixbufs can be created from a number of sources: image files in an assorted set of file formats (png, tiff, jpg, gif, xpm, pcx, ico, xpm, xbm); Drawables (which can be windows on the X server, or off-screen images in the X server) or in-memory images. A pixbuf can be rendered, scaled or composited into another pixbuf, into a window on the X server, or on a drawable in the X server. Various rendering methods are provided for this purpose. Pixbufs can also be saved to a number of different file formats. GLib.Object GLib.IWrapper System.IDisposable Method Gdk.Pixbuf

Creates a Pixbuf from a Pixdata

Source Gdk.Pixdata Whether to make a private copy of the data The return value is an initialized Pixbuf class This creates a Pixbuf from a class that implements the Gdk.Pixdata interface. Method Gdk.Pixbuf

Adds an alpha channel to the Pixbuf

Whether to set a color to zero opacity. If this is , then the (r, g, b) arguments will be ignored. Red value to substitute Green value to substitute Blue value to substitute A new pixbuf with an alpha channel. 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 is , then the color specified by (, , ) will be assigned zero opacity. That is, if you pass (255, 255, 255) for the substitute color, all white pixels will become fully transparent. The original image is not modified, a copy of the image is made and returned. Method Gdk.Pixbuf

Scaling with checkboard rendering

The width of destination image The height of destination image The interpolation type for the transformation. Overall alpha for source image (0..255) The size of checks in the checkboard (must be a power of two) The color of check at upper left The color of the other check The new Pixbuf, or if not enough memory could be allocated for it. Creates a new Pixbuf by scaling to x and compositing the result with a checkboard of colors and . The colors must be in RGB format. Method Gdk.Pixbuf

Scales a Pixbuf

The width of destination image The height of destination image The interpolation type for the transformation A new Pixbuf object, or if no memory is available for the transformation. Create a new GdkPixbuf containing a copy of src scaled to x . It leaves the current Pixbuf unaffected. should be if you want maximum speed (but when scaling down is usually unusably ugly). The default should be which offers reasonable quality and speed. You can scale a sub-portion of the Pixbuf by creating a sub-pixbuf using a Pixbuf constructor. For more complicated scale/compositions see and Method System.Void

Scale and Compose a Pixbuf with control over the checks

The destination Pixbuf to render to. The left coordinate for region to render The top coordinate for region to render The width of the region to render The height of the region to render The offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer) The offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer) The scale factor in the X direction The scale factor in the Y direction The interpolation type for the transformation. Overall alpha for source image (0..255) The X offset for the checkboard (origin of checkboard is at -check_x, -check_y) The Y offset for the checkboard The size of checks in the checkboard (must be a power of two) The color of check at upper left The color of the other check Creates a transformation of the Pixbuf by scaling by and then translating by and , then composites the rectangle ( ,, , ) of the resulting image with a checkboard of the colors and and renders it onto the destination image. The and encode the color in 32-bit RGB format. Method Gdk.Pixbuf

Gets an image from a Gdk.Image

Source Image (A ) A colormap (if src does not have one set) (A Source X coordinate within drawable. Source Y coordinate within drawable. Destination X coordinate in pixbuf, or 0 if dest is . Destination Y coordinate in pixbuf, or 0 if dest is . Width in pixels of region to get. Height in pixels of region to get. The value of the Pixbuf (the same one that was passed) or on error. See the remarks below for details on the possible ways on which this function might fail. Transfers image data from a and converts it to an RGB(A) representation inside a . In other words, copies image data from the Image (which might be potentially shared using shared memory between the client and the server) to a client-side RGB(A) buffer (the Pixbuf). This allows you to efficiently read individual pixels on the client side. If the has no colormap ( returns ), then a suitable colormap must be specified. Typically a or a pixmap created by passing a to the constructor will already have a colormap associated with it. If the has a colormap, the argument will be ignored. If the is a bitmap (1 bit per pixel pixmap), then a colormap is not required; pixels with a value of 1 are assumed to be white, and pixels with a value of 0 are assumed to be black. For taking screenshots, the property returns the correct colormap to use. If the specified destination pixbuf is , then this function will create an RGB Pixbuf with 8 bits per channel and no alpha, with the same size specified by the width and height arguments. In this case, the and arguments must be specified as 0. If the specified destination pixbuf is not and it contains alpha information, then the filled pixels will be set to full opacity (alpha = 255). If the specified is a pixmap, then the requested source rectangle must be completely contained within the pixmap, otherwise the function will return . For pixmaps only (not for windows) passing -1 for or is allowed, to mean the full width or height of the pixmap. If the specified is a window, and 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 corresponding to the offscreen region are undefined. If the window you are 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 target image is not mapped (typically because it's iconified/minimized or not on the current workspace), then will be returned. If memory can't be allocated for the return value, will be returned instead. (In short, there are several ways this function can fail, and if it fails it returns ; so check the return value.) Method System.Void

Renders the image into a Drawable

Destination drawable. GC used for rendering. Source X coordinate within pixbuf. Source Y coordinate within pixbuf. Destination X coordinate within drawable. Destination Y coordinate within drawable. Width of region to render, in pixels, or -1 to use pixbuf width Height of region to render, in pixels, or -1 to use pixbuf height Dithering mode for GdkRGB. X offset for dither. Y offset for dither. Renders a rectangular portion of the Pixbuf into the while using the specified . This is done using GdkRGB, so the specified drawable must have the visual and colormap. Note that this function will ignore the opacity information for images with an alpha channel; the GC must already have the clipping mask set if you want transparent regions to show through. For an explanation of dither offsets, see the GdkRGB documentation. In brief, the dither offset is important when re-rendering partial regions of an image to a rendered version of the full image, or for when the offsets to a base position change, as in scrolling. The dither matrix has to be shifted for consistent visual results. If you do not have any of these cases, the dither offsets can be both zero. Method Gdk.Pixbuf

Gets image from a Gdk.Drawable

Source drawable (A ) A colormap (if src does not have one set) (A Source X coordinate within drawable. Source Y coordinate within drawable. Destination X coordinate in pixbuf, or 0 if dest is . Destination Y coordinate in pixbuf, or 0 if dest is . Width in pixels of region to get. Height in pixels of region to get. The value of the Pixbuf (the same one that was passed) or on error. See the remarks below for details on the possible ways on which this function might fail. Transfers image data from a and converts it to an RGB(A) representation inside a . 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. If the has no colormap ( returns ), then a suitable colormap must be specified. Typically a or a pixmap created by passing a to the constructor will already have a colormap associated with it.

If memory can't be allocated for the return value, will be returned instead. (In short, there are several ways this function can fail, and if it fails it returns ; so check the return value.) This function calls internally and converts the resulting image to a , so the documentation for is also relevant. Method Gdk.Pixbuf

If is 1.0 then saturation is not changed. If it's less than 1.0, saturation is reduced (the image is darkened); if greater than 1.0, saturation is increased (the image is brightened). If is , 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. Method System.Void

A A A A A A A A A A A A Renders a rectangular portion of a pixbuf to a drawable. The destination drawable must have a colormap. All windows have a colormap, however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise a colormap must be set on them with . On older X servers, rendering pixbufs with an alpha channel involves round trips to the X server, and may be somewhat slow. Method System.Void
