Gdk::Pixbuf::Pixbuf ( const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Surface > &  src,
int  src_x,
int  src_y,

)
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
srcSurface to copy from.
src_xSource X coordinate within the surface.
src_ySource Y coordinate within the surface.
widthWidth in pixels of region to get.
heightHeight in pixels of region to get.

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_colorWhether to set a color to zero opacity. If this is false, then the ( r, g, b) arguments will be ignored.
rRed value to substitute.
gGreen value to substitute.
bBlue value to substitute.
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1.
Glib::RefPtr<Pixbuf> Gdk::Pixbuf::apply_embedded_orientation ( )

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 gtkmm 2.12:
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf, nullptr if not enough memory could be allocated for it, or a reference to the input pixbuf (with an increased reference count).
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
destThe Gdk::Pixbuf into which to render the results.
dest_xThe left coordinate for region to render.
dest_yThe top coordinate for region to render.
dest_widthThe width of the region to render.
dest_heightThe height of the region to render.
offset_xThe offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer).
offset_yThe offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer).
scale_xThe scale factor in the X direction.
scale_yThe scale factor in the Y direction.
interp_typeThe interpolation type for the transformation.
overall_alphaOverall alpha for source image (0..255).
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,

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
destThe Gdk::Pixbuf into which to render the results.
dest_xThe left coordinate for region to render.
dest_yThe top coordinate for region to render.
dest_widthThe width of the region to render.
dest_heightThe height of the region to render.
offset_xThe offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer).
offset_yThe offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer).
scale_xThe scale factor in the X direction.
scale_yThe scale factor in the Y direction.
interp_typeThe interpolation type for the transformation.
overall_alphaOverall alpha for source image (0..255).
check_xThe X offset for the checkboard (origin of checkboard is at - check_x, - check_y).
check_yThe Y offset for the checkboard.
check_sizeThe size of checks in the checkboard (must be a power of two).
color1The color of check at upper left.
color2The color of the other check.
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 Gdk::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_widthThe width of destination image.
dest_heightThe height of destination image.
interp_typeThe interpolation type for the transformation.
overall_alphaOverall alpha for source image (0..255).
check_sizeThe size of checks in the checkboard (must be a power of two).
color1The color of check at upper left.
color2The color of the other check.
Returns
The new Gdk::Pixbuf, or nullptr if not enough memory could be allocated for it.
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 with a reference count of 1, or nullptr if not enough memory could be allocated.
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_xSource X coordinate within src_pixbuf.
src_ySource Y coordinate within src_pixbuf.
widthWidth of the area to copy.
heightHeight of the area to copy.
dest_pixbufDestination pixbuf.
dest_xX coordinate within dest_pixbuf.
dest_yY coordinate within dest_pixbuf.
bool Gdk::Pixbuf::copy_options ( const Glib::RefPtr< Pixbuf >&  dest_pixbuf) const

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

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_pixbufThe Gdk::Pixbuf to copy options to.
Returns
true on success.
static Glib::RefPtr<Pixbuf> Gdk::Pixbuf::create ( const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Surface > &  src,
int  src_x,
int  src_y,
int  width,

)
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.

Parameters

static Glib::RefPtr<Pixbuf> Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_resource ( const std::string resource_path,
int  width,
int  height,
bool  preserve_aspect_ratio = true 
)
static

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a resource.

The file format is detected automatically. 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.

Parameters
resource_pathThe path of the resource file.
widthThe desired width
heightThe desired height
preserve_aspect_ratioWhether the image's aspect ratio will be preserved when scaling.

static Glib::RefPtr<Pixbuf> Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_stream ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::InputStream > &  stream,
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 stream is not closed.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters
streamA Gio::InputStream to load the pixbuf from.
cancellableOptional Gio::Cancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf, or nullptr if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, the image format is not supported, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, the stream contained invalid data, or the operation was cancelled.

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
streamA Gio::InputStream to load the pixbuf from.
widthThe width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width.
heightThe height the image should have or -1 to not constrain the height.
preserve_aspect_ratiotrue to preserve the image's aspect ratio.
cancellableOptional Gio::Cancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
Returns
A newly-created pixbuf, or nullptr if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, the image format is not supported, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer, the stream contained invalid data, or the operation was cancelled.

static 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.

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

Parameters
src_pixbufA Gdk::Pixbuf.
src_xX coord in src_pixbuf.
src_yY coord in src_pixbuf.
widthWidth of region in src_pixbuf.
heightHeight of region in src_pixbuf.
Returns
A new pixbuf.

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. Since 2.36.6, the JPEG loader sets the "comment" option with the comment EXIF tag.

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.

Parameters
destPlace to write modified version of src.
saturationSaturation factor.
pixelateWhether to pixelate.
void Gdk::Pixbuf::save ( const std::string filename,

Since gtkmm 3.6:
Parameters
filenameThe path of the file to be created.
typeThe file type.
Exceptions
Glib::FileError
Gdk::PixbufError
void Gdk::Pixbuf::save ( const std::string filename,
const Glib::ustring type,
const std::vector< Glib::ustring > &  option_keys,

) const

Saves pixbuf to a file in format type.

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.

Parameters
filenameThe path of the file to be created.
typeThe file type.
option_keys

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.

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
destThe Gdk::Pixbuf into which to render the results.
dest_xThe left coordinate for region to render.
dest_yThe top coordinate for region to render.
dest_widthThe width of the region to render.
dest_heightThe height of the region to render.
offset_xThe offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer).
offset_yThe offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer).
scale_xThe scale factor in the X direction.
scale_yThe scale factor in the Y direction.
interp_typeThe 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::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 new_subpixbuf().

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

For more complicated scaling/alpha blending see scale() and composite().

Parameters
dest_widthThe width of destination image.
dest_heightThe height of destination image.
interp_typeThe interpolation type for the transformation.
Returns
The new Gdk::Pixbuf, or nullptr if not enough memory could be allocated for it.
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 pixbuf, the new value is ignored and false is returned.

Since gtkmm 2.2:
Parameters
keyA nul-terminated string.
valueA nul-terminated string.
Returns
true on success.
