## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ PixbufLoader() [1/3]

Gdk::PixbufLoader::PixbufLoader | ( | PixbufLoader&& | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ ~PixbufLoader()

Gdk::PixbufLoader::~PixbufLoader | ( |  | ) |
| override noexcept

## ◆ PixbufLoader() [2/3]

Gdk::PixbufLoader::PixbufLoader | ( |  | ) |
| protected

Constructs a pixbuf loader object.

## ◆ PixbufLoader() [3/3]

Gdk::PixbufLoader::PixbufLoader | ( | const Glib::ustring & | image_type,
|  | bool | mime_type = `false`
| ) |  |
| explicit protected

Constructs a pixbuf loader object for a specific image type.

Constructs a new pixbuf loader object that always attempts to parse image data as if it were an image of type image_type, instead of identifying the type automatically. Useful if you want an error if the image isn't the expected type, for loading image formats that can't be reliably identified by looking at the data, or if the user manually forces a specific type.

The image_type can be one of the types returned by Gdk::Pixbuf::get_formats(), or a MIME type.

Common MIME Types are listed here http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/ and here: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/shared-mime-info

The list of non-mime-type image formats depends on what image loaders are installed, but typically "png", "jpeg", "gif", "tiff" and "xpm" are among the supported formats. To obtain the full list of supported image formats, call PixbufFormat::get_name() on each of the PixbufFormats returned by Gdk::Pixbuf::get_formats().

Parameters

  image_type | Name of the image format to be loaded with the image.
  mime_type | If this is true then the image_type is a MIME type.

Exceptions

  Gdk::PixbufError |

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ close()

void Gdk::PixbufLoader::close | ( |  | ) |

Informs a pixbuf loader that no further writes with PixbufLoader::write() will occur, so that it can free its internal loading structures.

Also, tries to parse any data that hasn't yet been parsed; if the remaining data is partial or corrupt, an exception will be thrown. If you're just cancelling a load rather than expecting it to be finished, writing an empty `catch()` block to ignore errors is reasonable.

Exceptions

  Gdk::PixbufError |
  Glib::FileError |

## ◆ create() [1/2]

static Glib::RefPtr<PixbufLoader> Gdk::PixbufLoader::create | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates a new pixbuf loader object.

Returns
  A newly-created pixbuf loader.

## ◆ create() [2/2]

static Glib::RefPtr<PixbufLoader> Gdk::PixbufLoader::create | ( | const Glib::ustring & | image_type,
|  | bool | mime_type = `false`
| ) |  |
| static

Constructs a pixbuf loader object for a specific image type.

Constructs a new pixbuf loader object that always attempts to parse image data as if it were an image of type image_type, instead of identifying the type automatically. Useful if you want an error if the image isn't the expected type, for loading image formats that can't be reliably identified by looking at the data, or if the user manually forces a specific type.

The image_type can be one of the types returned by Gdk::Pixbuf::get_formats(), or a MIME type.

Common MIME Types are listed here http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/ and here: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/shared-mime-info

The list of non-mime-type image formats depends on what image loaders are installed, but typically "png", "jpeg", "gif", "tiff" and "xpm" are among the supported formats. To obtain the full list of supported image formats, call PixbufFormat::get_name() on each of the PixbufFormats returned by Gdk::Pixbuf::get_formats().

Parameters

  image_type | Name of the image format to be loaded with the image.
  mime_type | If this is true then the image_type is a MIME type.

Exceptions

  Gdk::PixbufError |

## ◆ get_animation()

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::PixbufAnimation> Gdk::PixbufLoader::get_animation | ( |  | ) |

Queries the Gdk::PixbufAnimation that a pixbuf loader is currently creating.

In general it only makes sense to call this function after the "area-prepared" signal has been emitted by the loader. If the loader doesn't have enough bytes yet (hasn't emitted the "area-prepared" signal) this function will return `nullptr`.

Returns
  The Gdk::PixbufAnimation that the loader is loading, or `nullptr` if not enough data has been read to determine the information.

## ◆ get_format()

PixbufFormat Gdk::PixbufLoader::get_format | ( |  | ) | const

Obtains the available information about the format of the currently loading image file.

Since gtkmm 2.2:

Returns
  A Gdk::PixbufFormat or `nullptr`. The return value is owned by GdkPixbuf and should not be freed.

## ◆ get_pixbuf()

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> Gdk::PixbufLoader::get_pixbuf | ( |  | ) |

Queries the Gdk::Pixbuf that a pixbuf loader is currently creating.

In general it only makes sense to call this function after the "area-prepared" signal has been emitted by the loader; this means that enough data has been read to know the size of the image that will be allocated. If the loader has not received enough data via write(), then this function returns `nullptr`. The returned pixbuf will be the same in all future calls to the loader, so simply calling Glib::object_ref() should be sufficient to continue using it. Additionally, if the loader is an animation, it will return the "static image" of the animation (see Gdk::PixbufAnimation::get_static_image()).

Returns
  The Gdk::Pixbuf that the loader is creating, or `nullptr` if not enough data has been read to determine how to create the image buffer.

## ◆ get_type()

static GType Gdk::PixbufLoader::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

## ◆ gobj() [1/2]

GdkPixbufLoader* Gdk::PixbufLoader::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

## ◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GdkPixbufLoader* Gdk::PixbufLoader::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj_copy()

GdkPixbufLoader* Gdk::PixbufLoader::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

## ◆ on_area_prepared()

virtual void Gdk::PixbufLoader::on_area_prepared | ( |  | ) |
| protected virtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_area_prepared().

## ◆ on_area_updated()

virtual void Gdk::PixbufLoader::on_area_updated | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |  |
| protected virtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_area_updated().

## ◆ on_closed()

virtual void Gdk::PixbufLoader::on_closed | ( |  | ) |
| protected virtual

## ◆ on_size_prepared()

virtual void Gdk::PixbufLoader::on_size_prepared | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |  |
| protected virtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_size_prepared().

## ◆ operator=()

PixbufLoader& Gdk::PixbufLoader::operator= | ( | PixbufLoader&& | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ set_size()

void Gdk::PixbufLoader::set_size | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |  |

Causes the image to be scaled while it is loaded.

The desired image size can be determined relative to the original size of the image by calling set_size() from a signal handler for the signal_size_prepared() signal.

Attempts to set the desired image size are ignored after the emission of the signal_size_prepared() signal.

Since gtkmm 2.2:

Parameters

  width | The desired width of the image being loaded.
  height | The desired height of the image being loaded.

## ◆ signal_area_prepared()

Glib::SignalProxy< void > Gdk::PixbufLoader::signal_area_prepared | ( |  | ) |

This signal is emitted when the pixbuf loader has allocated the pixbuf in the desired size.

After this signal is emitted, applications can call get_pixbuf() to fetch the partially-loaded pixbuf.

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_area_prepared()`

This signal is emitted when the pixbuf loader has allocated the pixbuf in the desired size. After this signal is emitted, applications can call Gdk::PixbufLoader::get_pixbuf() to fetch the partially-loaded pixbuf.

## ◆ signal_area_updated()

Glib::SignalProxy< void,int,int,int,int > Gdk::PixbufLoader::signal_area_updated | ( |  | ) |

This signal is emitted when a significant area of the image being loaded has been updated.

Normally it means that a complete scanline has been read in, but it could be a different area as well. Applications can use this signal to know when to repaint areas of an image that is being loaded.

Parameters

  X | offset of upper-left corner of the updated area.
  y | Y offset of upper-left corner of the updated area.
  width | Width of updated area.
  height | Height of updated area.

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_area_updated(int x, int y, int width, int height)`

This signal is emitted when a significant area of the image being loaded has been updated. Normally it means that a complete scanline has been read in, but it could be a different area as well. Applications can use this signal to know when to repaint areas of an image that is being loaded.

Parameters

  x | X offset of upper-left corner of the updated area.
  y | Y offset of upper-left corner of the updated area.
  width | Width of updated area.
  height | Height of updated area.

## ◆ signal_closed()

Glib::SignalProxy< void > Gdk::PixbufLoader::signal_closed | ( |  | ) |

This signal is emitted when close() is called.

It can be used by different parts of an application to receive notification when an image loader is closed by the code that drives it.

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_closed()`

This signal is emitted when Gdk::PixbufLoader::close() is called. It can be used by different parts of an application to receive notification when an image loader is closed by the code that drives it.

## ◆ signal_size_prepared()

Glib::SignalProxy< void,int,int > Gdk::PixbufLoader::signal_size_prepared | ( |  | ) |

This signal is emitted when the pixbuf loader has been fed the initial amount of data that is required to figure out the size of the image that it will create.

Applications can call set_size() in response to this signal to set the desired size to which the image should be scaled.

Parameters

  width | The original width of the image.
  height | The original height of the image

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_size_prepared(int width, int height)`

This signal is emitted when the pixbuf loader has been fed the initial amount of data that is required to figure out the size of the image that it will create. Applications can call Gdk::PixbufLoader::set_size() in response to this signal to set the desired size to which the image should be scaled.

Parameters

  width | The original width of the image.
  height | The original height of the image.

## ◆ write()

void Gdk::PixbufLoader::write | ( | const guint8 * | buf,
|  | gsize | count
| ) |  |

Causes the pixbuf loader to parse the next count bytes of an image.

It will return if the data was loaded successfully, and throw an exception if an error occurred. In the latter case, the loader will be closed, and will not accept further writes.

Parameters

  buf | Pointer to image data.
  count | Length of the buf buffer in bytes.

Exceptions

  Gdk::PixbufError |
  Glib::FileError |
