## ◆ Pixbuf() [2/2]

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.

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.

Exceptions

  Gdk::PixbufError |

Deprecated:
  4.12: Use Gdk::Texture and subclasses instead of cairo surfaces and pixbufs.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ add_alpha()

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 the (`r`, `g`, `b`) arguments will be assigned zero opacity. That is, if you pass `(255, 255, 255)` for the substitute color, all white pixels will become fully transparent.

If `substitute_color` is `false`, then the (`r`, `g`, `b`) arguments will be ignored.

Parameters

  substitute_color | Whether to set a color to zero opacity.
  r | Red value to substitute.
  g | Green value to substitute.
  b | Blue value to substitute.

Returns
  A newly-created pixbuf.

## ◆ apply_embedded_orientation()

Glib::RefPtr< Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::apply_embedded_orientation | ( |  | ) |

Takes an existing pixbuf and checks for the presence of an associated "orientation" option.

The orientation option 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.

Return: (transfer full) (nullable): A newly-created pixbuf

Since gtkmm 2.12:

## ◆ composite()

void Gdk::Pixbuf::composite | ( | 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,
|  | 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 alpha blended 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).

## ◆ composite_color()

void Gdk::Pixbuf::composite_color | ( | 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,
|  | int | overall_alpha,
|  | int | check_x,
|  | int | check_y,
|  | int | check_size,
|  | guint32 | color1,
|  | guint32 | color2
| ) |  | 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 alpha blends 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.

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

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

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).
  check_x | The X offset for the checkboard (origin of checkboard is at - check_x, - check_y).
  check_y | The Y offset for the checkboard.
  check_size | The size of checks in the checkboard (must be a power of two).
  color1 | The color of check at upper left.
  color2 | The color of the other check.

## ◆ composite_color_simple()

Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::composite_color_simple | ( | int | dest_width,
|  | int | dest_height,
|  | InterpType | interp_type,
|  | int | overall_alpha,
|  | int | check_size,
|  | guint32 | color1,
|  | guint32 | color2
| ) |  | const

Creates a new pixbuf by scaling `src` to `dest_width` x `dest_height` and alpha blending the result with a checkboard of colors `color1` and `color2`.

Parameters

  dest_width | The width of destination image.
  dest_height | The height of destination image.
  interp_type | The interpolation type for the transformation.
  overall_alpha | Overall alpha for source image (0..255).
  check_size | The size of checks in the checkboard (must be a power of two).
  color1 | The color of check at upper left.
  color2 | The color of the other check.

Returns
  The new pixbuf.

## ◆ copy()

Glib::RefPtr< Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::copy | ( |  | ) | const

Creates a new `Gdk::Pixbuf` with a copy of the information in the specified `pixbuf`.

Note that this does not copy the options set on the original `Gdk::Pixbuf`, use copy_options() for this.

Returns
  A newly-created pixbuf.

## ◆ copy_area()

void Gdk::Pixbuf::copy_area | ( | int | src_x,
|  | int | src_y,
|  | int | width,
|  | int | height,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Pixbuf > & | dest_pixbuf,
|  | 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_x | Source X coordinate within src_pixbuf.
  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.
  dest_x | X coordinate within dest_pixbuf.
  dest_y | Y coordinate within dest_pixbuf.

## ◆ copy_options()

bool Gdk::Pixbuf::copy_options | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Pixbuf > & | dest_pixbuf | ) | const

Copies the key/value pair options attached to a `Gdk::Pixbuf` to another `Gdk::Pixbuf`.

This is useful to keep original metadata after having manipulated a file. However be careful to remove metadata which you've already applied, such as the "orientation" option after rotating the image.

Since gtkmm 2.36:

Parameters

  dest_pixbuf | The destination pixbuf.

Returns
  `true` on success.

## ◆ create() [1/2]

static Glib::RefPtr< Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create | ( | Colorspace | colorspace,
|  | bool | has_alpha,
|  | int | bits_per_sample,
|  | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |  |
| static

Creates a new `Gdk::Pixbuf` structure and allocates a buffer for it.

If the allocation of the buffer failed, this function will return `nullptr`.

The buffer has an optimal rowstride. Note that the buffer is not cleared; you will have to fill it completely yourself.

Parameters

  colorspace | Color space for image.
  has_alpha | Whether the image should have transparency information.
  bits_per_sample | Number of bits per color sample.
  width | Width of image in pixels, must be > 0.
  height | Height of image in pixels, must be > 0.

Returns
  A newly-created pixel buffer.

## ◆ create() [2/2]

static Glib::RefPtr< Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::create | ( | const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Surface > & | src,
|  | int | src_x,
|  | int | src_y,
|  | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |  |
| static

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.

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

| 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 `Gio::Error::CANCELLED` will be returned. Other possible errors are in the `GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR` and `G_IO_ERROR` domains.

The stream is not closed.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Parameters

  stream | A `Gio::InputStream` to load the pixbuf from.
  cancellable | Optional `Gio::Cancellable` object, `nullptr` to ignore.

Returns
  A newly-created pixbuf.

|  | 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 `Gio::Error::CANCELLED` will be returned. Other possible errors are in the `GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR` and `G_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 `Gio::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 `Gio::Cancellable` object, `nullptr` to ignore.

|  | 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.

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.

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.

## ◆ scale_simple()

Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Pixbuf > Gdk::Pixbuf::scale_simple | ( | int | dest_width,
|  | int | dest_height,
|  | InterpType | interp_type
| ) |  | const

Create a new pixbuf containing a copy of `src` scaled to `dest_width` x `dest_height`.

This function leaves `src` unaffected.

The `interp_type` should be `Gdk::InterpType::NEAREST` if you want maximum speed (but when scaling down `Gdk::InterpType::NEAREST` is usually unusably ugly). The default `interp_type` should be `Gdk::InterpType::BILINEAR` which offers reasonable quality and speed.

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

If `dest_width` and `dest_height` are equal to the width and height of `src`, this function will return an unscaled copy of `src`.

For more complicated scaling/alpha blending see GdkPixbuf::Pixbuf::scale() and GdkPixbuf::Pixbuf::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 pixbuf.

## ◆ set_option()

bool Gdk::Pixbuf::set_option | ( | const Glib::ustring & | key,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | value
| ) |  |

Attaches a key/value pair as an option to a `Gdk::Pixbuf`.

If `key` already exists in the list of options attached to the `pixbuf`, the new value is ignored and `false` is returned.

Since gtkmm 2.2:

Parameters

  key | A nul-terminated string.
  value | A nul-terminated string.

Returns
  `true` on success.
