GdkPixbuf.PixbufLoader.get_animation

### Method

# GdkPixbuf.PixbufLoader.get_animation

#### Declaration [src]

    GdkPixbufAnimation*
    gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_animation (
      GdkPixbufLoader* loader
    )

#### Description [src]

Queries the `GdkPixbufAnimation` that a pixbuf loader is currently creating.

In general it only makes sense to call this function after the `GdkPixbufLoader::area-prepared` signal has been emitted by the loader.

If the loader doesn’t have enough bytes yet, and hasn’t emitted the `area-prepared` signal, this function will return `NULL`.

#### Return value

Returns: `GdkPixbufAnimation`
The animation that the loader is currently loading
Ownership is not transferred to the caller
Can be `NULL`
