GI.GdkPixbuf.Objects.Pixbuf

This is the main structure in the gdk-pixbuf library. It is used to represent images. It contains information about the image's pixel data, its color space, bits per sample, width and height, and the rowstride (the number of bytes between the start of one row and the start of the next).

Methods

Overloaded methods

addAlpha

pixbufAddAlpha

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> a

pixbuf: A Pixbuf.

-> Bool

substituteColor: Whether to set a color to zero opacity. If this is False, then the (r, g, b) arguments will be ignored.

-> Word8

r: Red value to substitute.

-> Word8

g: Green value to substitute.

-> Word8

b: Blue value to substitute.

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1.

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 substituteColor 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.

applyEmbeddedOrientation

pixbufApplyEmbeddedOrientation

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> a

src: A Pixbuf.

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: A newly-created pixbuf, Nothing if not enough memory could be allocated for it, or a reference to the input pixbuf (with an increased reference count).

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: 2.12

calculateRowstride

pixbufCalculateRowstride

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> Colorspace

colorspace: Color space for image

-> Bool

width: Width of image in pixels, must be > 0

-> Int32

height: Height of image in pixels, must be > 0

-> m Int32

Returns: the rowstride for the given values, or -1 in case of error.

Calculates the rowstride that an image created with those values would have. This is useful for front-ends and backends that want to sanity check image values without needing to create them.

Since: 2.36.8

Creates a transformation of the source image src by scaling by scaleX and scaleY then translating by offsetX and offsetY, then alpha blends the rectangle (destX ,destY, destWidth, destHeight) of the resulting image with a checkboard of the colors color1 and color2 and renders it onto the destination image.

If the source image has no alpha channel, and overallAlpha is 255, a fast path is used which omits the alpha blending and just performs the scaling.

See pixbufCompositeColorSimple for a simpler variant of this function suitable for many tasks.

=> Text

path: Path to directory where the loaders.cache is installed

-> m ()

(Can throw GError)

Initalizes the gdk-pixbuf loader modules referenced by the loaders.cache file present inside that directory.

This is to be used by applications that want to ship certain loaders in a different location from the system ones.

This is needed when the OS or runtime ships a minimal number of loaders so as to reduce the potential attack surface of carefully crafted image files, especially for uncommon file types. Applications that require broader image file types coverage, such as image viewers, would be expected to ship the gdk-pixbuf modules in a separate location, bundled with the application in a separate directory from the OS or runtime- provided modules.

Creates a new Pixbuf out of in-memory image data. Currently only RGB images with 8 bits per sample are supported.

Since you are providing a pre-allocated pixel buffer, you must also specify a way to free that data. This is done with a function of type PixbufDestroyNotify. When a pixbuf created with is finalized, your destroy notification function will be called, and it is its responsibility to free the pixel array.

See also pixbufNewFromBytes.

newFromFile

pixbufNewFromFile

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> [Char]

filename: Name of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1, or Nothing if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, there was no loader for the file's format, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, or the image file contained invalid data. (Can throw GError)

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is detected automatically. If Nothing is returned, then error will be set. Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_ERROR domains.

newFromFileAtScale

pixbufNewFromFileAtScale

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> [Char]

filename: Name of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1, or Nothing if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, there was no loader for the file's format, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, or the image file contained invalid data.

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is detected automatically. If Nothing is returned, then error will be set. Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_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. When not preserving aspect ratio, a width or height of -1 means to not scale the image at all in that dimension. Negative values for width and height are allowed since 2.8.

Since: 2.6

newFromFileAtSize

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> [Char]

filename: Name of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding

-> Int32

width: The width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width

-> Int32

height: The height the image should have or -1 to not constrain the height

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1, or Nothing if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, there was no loader for the file's format, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, or the image file contained invalid data. (Can throw GError)

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is detected automatically. If Nothing is returned, then error will be set. Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_ERROR domains.

The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, preserving the image's aspect ratio. Note that the returned pixbuf may be smaller than width x height, if the aspect ratio requires it. To load and image at the requested size, regardless of aspect ratio, use pixbufNewFromFileAtScale.

Since: 2.4

pixbufNewFromInline

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

-> Bool

copyPixels: Whether to copy the pixel data, or use direct pointers data for the resulting pixbuf

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: A newly-created Pixbuf structure with a reference, count of 1, or Nothing if an error occurred. (Can throw GError)

Deprecated: (Since version 2.32)Use Resource instead.

Create a 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.

gdk-pixbuf ships with a program called [gdk-pixbuf-csource][gdk-pixbuf-csource], which allows for conversion of GdkPixbufs into such a inline representation. In almost all cases, you should pass the --raw option 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 copyPixels. (If you pass --rle to gdk-pixbuf-csource, a copy will be made even if copyPixels 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 and disable length checks, since things will always succeed: > >pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline (-1, myimage_inline, FALSE, NULL);

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.

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.

newFromStreamAtScaleAsync

pixbufNewFromStreamAtScaleAsync

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsInputStream a, IsCancellable b)

=> a

stream: a InputStream from which to load the pixbuf

-> Int32

width: the width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width

-> Int32

-> Maybe b

cancellable: optional Cancellable object, Nothing to ignore

-> Maybe AsyncReadyCallback

callback: a AsyncReadyCallback to call when the pixbuf is loaded

-> m ()

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

For more details see pixbufNewFromStreamAtScale, which is the synchronous version of this function.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called in the main thread. You can then call pixbufNewFromStreamFinish to get the result of the operation.

newFromStreamFinish

pixbufNewFromStreamFinish

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsAsyncResult a)

=> a

asyncResult: a AsyncResult

Finishes an asynchronous pixbuf creation operation started with pixbufNewFromStreamAsync.

Since: 2.24

newFromXpmData

pixbufNewFromXpmData

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> [Text]

data: Pointer to inline XPM data.

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1.

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.

newSubpixbuf

pixbufNewSubpixbuf

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> a

srcPixbuf: a Pixbuf

-> Int32

srcX: X coord in srcPixbuf

-> Int32

srcY: Y coord in srcPixbuf

-> Int32

width: width of region in srcPixbuf

-> Int32

height: height of region in srcPixbuf

-> m Pixbuf

Returns: a new pixbuf

Creates a new pixbuf which represents a sub-region of srcPixbuf. The new pixbuf shares its pixels with the original pixbuf, so writing to one affects both. The new pixbuf holds a reference to srcPixbuf, so srcPixbuf will not be finalized until the new pixbuf is finalized.

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

readPixelBytes

pixbufReadPixelBytes

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> a

pixbuf: A pixbuf

-> m Bytes

Returns: A new reference to a read-only copy of the pixel data. Note that for mutable pixbufs, this function will incur a one-time copy of the pixel data for conversion into the returned Bytes.

Provides a Bytes buffer containing the raw pixel data; the data must not be modified. This function allows skipping the implicit copy that must be made if gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels() is called on a read-only pixbuf.

Since: 2.32

readPixels

pixbufReadPixels

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> a

pixbuf: A pixbuf

-> m Word8

Returns: a read-only pointer to the raw pixel data

Provides a read-only pointer to the raw pixel data; must not be modified. This function allows skipping the implicit copy that must be made if gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels() is called on a read-only pixbuf.

Since: 2.32

removeOption

-> Bool

pixelate: whether to pixelate

-> m ()

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.

-> Int32

destWidth: the width of the region to render

-> Int32

destHeight: the height of the region to render

-> Double

offsetX: the offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer)

-> Double

offsetY: the offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer)

-> Double

scaleX: the scale factor in the X direction

-> Double

scaleY: the scale factor in the Y direction

-> InterpType

interpType: the interpolation type for the transformation.

-> m ()

Creates a transformation of the source image src by scaling by scaleX and scaleY then translating by offsetX and offsetY, then renders the rectangle (destX, destY, destWidth, destHeight) of the resulting image onto the destination image replacing the previous contents.

Try to use pixbufScaleSimple first, this function is the industrial-strength power tool you can fall back to if pixbufScaleSimple 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.

scaleSimple

pixbufScaleSimple

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> a

src: a Pixbuf

-> Int32

destWidth: the width of destination image

-> Int32

destHeight: the height of destination image

-> InterpType

interpType: the interpolation type for the transformation.

-> m (Maybe Pixbuf)

Returns: the new Pixbuf, or Nothing if not enough memory could be allocated for it.

Create a new Pixbuf containing a copy of src scaled to destWidth x destHeight. Leaves src unaffected. interpType should be GDK_INTERP_NEAREST if you want maximum speed (but when scaling down GDK_INTERP_NEAREST is usually unusably ugly). The default interpType 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 pixbufNewSubpixbuf.

If destWidth and destHeight are equal to the src width and height, a copy of src is returned, avoiding any scaling.

For more complicated scaling/alpha blending see pixbufScale and pixbufComposite.
