## 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.

|  | double | offset_y,
|  | double | scale_x,
|  | 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.

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.

Exceptions:

  | Gdk::PixbufError |

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.

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.

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

Takes the opacity values in a rectangular portion of a pixbuf and thresholds them to produce a bi-level alpha mask that can be used as a clipping mask for a drawable.

Parameters:

  | bitmap | Bitmap where the bilevel mask will be painted to.
  | src_x | Source X coordinate.
  | src_y | Source Y coordinate.
  | dest_x | Destination X coordinate.
  | dest_y | Destination Y coordinate.
  | width | Width of region to threshold, or -1 to use pixbuf width.
  | height | Height of region to threshold, or -1 to use pixbuf height.
  | alpha_threshold | Opacity values below this will be painted as zero; all other values will be painted as one.

|  | int | width,
|  | int | height,
|  | RgbDither | dither,
|  | int | x_dither,
|  | int | y_dither
| ) |

Renders a rectangular portion of a pixbuf to a drawable while using the specified GC.

This is done using GdkRGB, so the specified drawable must have the GdkRGB 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.

Deprecated: This function is obsolete. Use gdk_draw_pixbuf() instead.

Parameters:

  | drawable | Destination drawable.
  | gc | GC used for rendering.
  | src_x | Source X coordinate within pixbuf.
  | src_y | Source Y coordinate within pixbuf.
  | dest_x | Destination X coordinate within drawable.
  | dest_y | Destination Y coordinate within drawable.
  | width | Width of region to render, in pixels, or -1 to use pixbuf width.
  | height | Height of region to render, in pixels, or -1 to use pixbuf height.
  | dither | Dithering mode for GdkRGB.
  | x_dither | X offset for dither.
  | y_dither | Y offset for dither.

|  | int | src_x,
|  | int | src_y,
|  | int | dest_x,

|  | int | alpha_threshold,
|  | RgbDither | dither,
|  | int | x_dither,
|  | int | y_dither
| ) |

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-`0` window argument. Otherwise a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap.

On older X servers, rendering pixbufs with an alpha channel involves round trips to the X server, and may be somewhat slow.

Deprecated: This function is obsolete. Use gdk_draw_pixbuf() instead.

Parameters:

  | drawable | Destination drawable.
  | src_x | Source X coordinate within pixbuf.
  | src_y | Source Y coordinates within pixbuf.
  | dest_x | Destination X coordinate within drawable.
  | dest_y | Destination Y coordinate within drawable.
  | width | Width of region to render, in pixels, or -1 to use pixbuf width.
  | height | Height of region to render, in pixels, or -1 to use pixbuf height.
  | alpha_mode | Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility.
  | alpha_threshold | Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility.
  | dither | Dithering mode for GdkRGB.
  | x_dither | X offset for dither.
  | y_dither | Y offset for dither.

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> Gdk::Pixbuf::rotate_simple | ( | PixbufRotation | angle | ) | const

Rotates a pixbuf by a multiple of 90 degrees, and returns the result in a new pixbuf.

Parameters:

  | angle | The angle to rotate by.

Returns:
  A new pixbuf

Since: 2.6.

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 is darkened); if greater than 1.0, saturation is increased (the image is brightened). 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::scale | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf>& | dest,
|  | int | dest_x,
|  | int | dest_y,
|  | int | dest_width,
|  | int | dest_height,
|  | 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.

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 `0` if not enough memory could be allocated for it.
