Drawable

Description These functions provide support for drawing points, lines, arcs and text onto what are called 'drawables'. Drawables, as the name suggests, are things which support drawing onto them, and are either GdkWindow or GdkPixmap objects. Many of the drawing operations take a GdkGC argument, which represents a graphics context. This GdkGC contains a number of drawing attributes such as foreground color, background color and line width, and is used to reduce the number of arguments needed for each drawing operation. See the Graphics Contexts section for more information. Some of the drawing operations take Pango data structures like PangoContext, PangoLayout or PangoLayoutLine as arguments. If you're using GTK+, the ususal way to obtain these structures is via gtk_widget_create_pango_context() or gtk_widget_create_pango_layout().

Functions

copyToImage
ImageGdk copyToImage(ImageGdk image, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY, int width, int height)

Warning gdk_drawable_copy_to_image has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use drawable as the source and draw to a Cairo image surface if you want to download contents to the client. Copies a portion of drawable into the client side image structure image. If image is NULL, creates a new image of size width x height and copies into that. See gdk_drawable_get_image() for further details. Since 2.4

drawArc
void drawArc(GC gc, int filled, int x, int y, int width, int height, int angle1, int angle2)

Warning gdk_draw_arc has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use cairo_arc() and cairo_fill() or cairo_stroke() instead. Note that arcs just like any drawing operation in Cairo are antialiased unless you call cairo_set_antialias(). Draws an arc or a filled 'pie slice'. The arc is defined by the bounding rectangle of the entire ellipse, and the start and end angles of the part of the ellipse to be drawn.

drawDrawable
void drawDrawable(GC gc, Drawable src, int xsrc, int ysrc, int xdest, int ydest, int width, int height)

Warning gdk_draw_drawable has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_cairo_set_source_pixmap(), cairo_rectangle() and cairo_fill() to draw pixmap on top of other drawables. Also keep in mind that the limitations on allowed sources do not apply to Cairo. Copies the width x height region of src at coordinates (xsrc, ysrc) to coordinates (xdest, ydest) in drawable. width and/or height may be given as -1, in which case the entire src drawable will be copied. Most fields in gc are not used for this operation, but notably the clip mask or clip region will be honored. The source and destination drawables must have the same visual and colormap, or errors will result. (On X11, failure to match visual/colormap results in a BadMatch error from the X server.) A common cause of this problem is an attempt to draw a bitmap to a color drawable. The way to draw a bitmap is to set the bitmap as the stipple on the GdkGC, set the fill mode to GDK_STIPPLED, and then draw the rectangle.

drawGlyphs
void drawGlyphs(GC gc, PgFont font, int x, int y, PgGlyphString glyphs)

Warning gdk_draw_glyphs has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use pango_cairo_show_glyphs() instead. This is a low-level function; 99% of text rendering should be done using gdk_draw_layout() instead. A glyph is a single image in a font. This function draws a sequence of glyphs. To obtain a sequence of glyphs you have to understand a lot about internationalized text handling, which you don't want to understand; thus, use gdk_draw_layout() instead of this function, gdk_draw_layout() handles the details.

drawGlyphsTransformed
void drawGlyphsTransformed(GC gc, PgMatrix matrix, PgFont font, int x, int y, PgGlyphString glyphs)

Warning gdk_draw_glyphs_transformed has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use pango_cairo_show_glyphs() instead. Renders a PangoGlyphString onto a drawable, possibly transforming the layed-out coordinates through a transformation matrix. Note that the transformation matrix for font is not changed, so to produce correct rendering results, the font must have been loaded using a PangoContext with an identical transformation matrix to that passed in to this function. See also gdk_draw_glyphs(), gdk_draw_layout(). Since 2.6

drawImage
void drawImage(GC gc, ImageGdk image, int xsrc, int ysrc, int xdest, int ydest, int width, int height)

Warning gdk_draw_image has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Do not use GdkImage anymore, instead use Cairo image surfaces. Draws a GdkImage onto a drawable. The depth of the GdkImage must match the depth of the GdkDrawable.

drawLayout
void drawLayout(GC gc, int x, int y, PgLayout layout)

Warning gdk_draw_layout is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Render a PangoLayout onto a GDK drawable If the layout's PangoContext has a transformation matrix set, then x and y specify the position of the top left corner of the bounding box (in device space) of the transformed layout. If you're using GTK+, the usual way to obtain a PangoLayout is gtk_widget_create_pango_layout().

drawLayoutLine
void drawLayoutLine(GC gc, int x, int y, PgLayoutLine line)

Warning gdk_draw_layout_line is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Render a PangoLayoutLine onto an GDK drawable If the layout's PangoContext has a transformation matrix set, then x and y specify the position of the left edge of the baseline (left is in before-tranform user coordinates) in after-transform device coordinates.

drawLayoutLineWithColors
void drawLayoutLineWithColors(GC gc, int x, int y, PgLayoutLine line, Color foreground, Color background)

Warning gdk_draw_layout_line_with_colors is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Render a PangoLayoutLine onto a GdkDrawable, overriding the layout's normal colors with foreground and/or background. foreground and background need not be allocated. If the layout's PangoContext has a transformation matrix set, then x and y specify the position of the left edge of the baseline (left is in before-tranform user coordinates) in after-transform device coordinates.

drawLayoutWithColors
void drawLayoutWithColors(GC gc, int x, int y, PgLayout layout, Color foreground, Color background)

Warning gdk_draw_layout_with_colors is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Render a PangoLayout onto a GdkDrawable, overriding the layout's normal colors with foreground and/or background. foreground and background need not be allocated. If the layout's PangoContext has a transformation matrix set, then x and y specify the position of the top left corner of the bounding box (in device space) of the transformed layout. If you're using GTK+, the ususal way to obtain a PangoLayout is gtk_widget_create_pango_layout().

drawLine
void drawLine(GC gc, int x1_, int y1_, int x2_, int y2_)

Warning gdk_draw_line has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use cairo_line_to() and cairo_stroke() instead. Be aware that the default line width in Cairo is 2 pixels and that your coordinates need to describe the center of the line. To draw a single

drawLines
void drawLines(GC gc, GdkPoint[] points)

Warning gdk_draw_lines has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use cairo_line_to() and cairo_stroke() instead. See the documentation of gdk_draw_line() for notes on line drawing with Cairo. Draws a series of lines connecting the given points. The way in which joins between lines are draw is determined by the GdkCapStyle value in the GdkGC. This can be set with gdk_gc_set_line_attributes().

drawPixbuf
void drawPixbuf(Pixbuf pixbuf, int destX, int destY)
drawPixbuf
void drawPixbuf(GC gc, Pixbuf pixbuf, int destX, int destY)
drawPixbuf
void drawPixbuf(GC gc, Pixbuf pixbuf, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY, int width, int height, GdkRgbDither dither, int xDither, int yDither)

Warning gdk_draw_pixbuf has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf() and cairo_paint() or cairo_rectangle() and cairo_fill() instead. 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-NULL 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. If GDK is built with the Sun mediaLib library, the gdk_draw_pixbuf function is accelerated using mediaLib, which provides hardware acceleration on Intel, AMD, and Sparc chipsets. If desired, mediaLib support can be turned off by setting the GDK_DISABLE_MEDIALIB environment variable. Since 2.2

drawPoint
void drawPoint(GC gc, int x, int y)

Warning gdk_draw_point has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use cairo_rectangle() and cairo_fill() or cairo_move_to() and cairo_stroke() instead. Draws a point, using the foreground color and other attributes of the GdkGC.

drawPoints
void drawPoints(GC gc, GdkPoint[] points)

Warning gdk_draw_points has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use n_points calls to cairo_rectangle() and cairo_fill() instead. Draws a number of points, using the foreground color and other attributes of the GdkGC.

drawPolygon
void drawPolygon(GC gc, int filled, GdkPoint[] points)

Warning gdk_draw_polygon has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use cairo_line_to() or cairo_append_path() and cairo_fill() or cairo_stroke() instead. Draws an outlined or filled polygon.

drawRectangle
void drawRectangle(GC gc, int filled, int x, int y, int width, int height)

Warning gdk_draw_rectangle has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use cairo_rectangle() and cairo_fill() or cairo_stroke() instead. For stroking, the same caveats for converting code apply as for gdk_draw_line(). Draws a rectangular outline or filled rectangle, using the foreground color and other attributes of the GdkGC. A rectangle drawn filled is 1 pixel smaller in both dimensions than a rectangle outlined. Calling gdk_draw_rectangle (window, gc, TRUE, 0, 0, 20, 20) results in a filled rectangle 20 pixels wide and 20 pixels high. Calling gdk_draw_rectangle (window, gc, FALSE, 0, 0, 20, 20) results in an outlined rectangle with corners at (0, 0), (0, 20), (20, 20), and (20, 0), which makes it 21 pixels wide and 21 pixels high. Note

drawSegments
void drawSegments(GC gc, GdkSegment[] segs)

Warning gdk_draw_segments has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use cairo_move_to(), cairo_line_to() and cairo_stroke() instead. See the documentation of gdk_draw_line() for notes on line drawing with Cairo. Draws a number of unconnected lines.

drawString
void drawString(Font font, GC gc, int x, int y, string string)

Warning gdk_draw_string has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_draw_layout() instead. Draws a string of characters in the given font or fontset.

drawText
void drawText(Font font, GC gc, int x, int y, string text, int textLength)

Warning gdk_draw_text has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_draw_layout() instead. Draws a number of characters in the given font or fontset.

drawTextWc
void drawTextWc(Font font, GC gc, int x, int y, GdkWChar[] text)

Warning gdk_draw_text_wc has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_draw_layout() instead. Draws a number of wide characters using the given font of fontset. If the font is a 1-byte font, the string is converted into 1-byte characters (discarding the high bytes) before output.

drawTrapezoids
void drawTrapezoids(GC gc, GdkTrapezoid[] trapezoids)

Warning gdk_draw_trapezoids has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use Cairo path contruction functions and cairo_fill() instead. Draws a set of anti-aliased trapezoids. The trapezoids are combined using saturation addition, then drawn over the background as a set. This is low level functionality used internally to implement rotated underlines and backgrouds when rendering a PangoLayout and is likely not useful for applications. Since 2.6

getClipRegion
Region getClipRegion()

Computes the region of a drawable that potentially can be written to by drawing primitives. This region will not take into account the clip region for the GC, and may also not take into account other factors such as if the window is obscured by other windows, but no area outside of this region will be affected by drawing primitives.

getColormap
Colormap getColormap()

Gets the colormap for drawable, if one is set; returns NULL otherwise.

getData
void* getData(string key)

Warning gdk_drawable_get_data is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Equivalent to g_object_get_data(); the GObject variant should be used instead.

getDepth
int getDepth()

Obtains the bit depth of the drawable, that is, the number of bits that make up a pixel in the drawable's visual. Examples are 8 bits per pixel, 24 bits per pixel, etc.

getDisplay
Display getDisplay()

Warning gdk_drawable_get_display has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_window_get_display() instead Gets the GdkDisplay associated with a GdkDrawable. Since 2.2

getDrawableStruct
GdkDrawable* getDrawableStruct()
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getImage
ImageGdk getImage(int x, int y, int width, int height)

Warning gdk_drawable_get_image has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use drawable as the source and draw to a Cairo image surface if you want to download contents to the client. A GdkImage stores client-side image data (pixels). In contrast, GdkPixmap and GdkWindow are server-side objects. gdk_drawable_get_image() obtains the pixels from a server-side drawable as a client-side GdkImage. The format of a GdkImage depends on the GdkVisual of the current display, which makes manipulating GdkImage extremely difficult; therefore, in most cases you should use gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable() instead of this lower-level function. A GdkPixbuf contains image data in a canonicalized RGB format, rather than a display-dependent format. Of course, there's a convenience vs. speed tradeoff here, so you'll want to think about what makes sense for your application. x, y, width, and height define the region of drawable to obtain as an image. You would usually copy image data to the client side if you intend to examine the values of individual pixels, for example to darken an image or add a red tint. It would be prohibitively slow to make a round-trip request to the windowing system for each pixel, so instead you get all of them at once, modify them, then copy them all back at once. If the X server or other windowing system backend is on the local machine, this function may use shared memory to avoid copying the image data. If the source drawable is a GdkWindow and partially offscreen or obscured, then the obscured portions of the returned image will contain undefined data.

getScreen
Screen getScreen()

Warning gdk_drawable_get_screen has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_window_get_screen() instead Gets the GdkScreen associated with a GdkDrawable. Since 2.2

getSize
void getSize(int width, int height)

Warning gdk_drawable_get_size has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_window_get_width() and gdk_window_get_height() for GdkWindows. Use gdk_pixmap_get_size() for GdkPixmaps. Fills *width and *height with the size of drawable. width or height can be NULL if you only want the other one. On the X11 platform, if drawable is a GdkWindow, the returned size is the size reported in the most-recently-processed configure event, rather than the current size on the X server.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getVisibleRegion
Region getVisibleRegion()

Computes the region of a drawable that is potentially visible. This does not necessarily take into account if the window is obscured by other windows, but no area outside of this region is visible.

getVisual
Visual getVisual()

Warning gdk_drawable_get_visual has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gdk_window_get_visual() Gets the GdkVisual describing the pixel format of drawable.

setColormap
void setColormap(Colormap colormap)

Sets the colormap associated with drawable. Normally this will happen automatically when the drawable is created; you only need to use this function if the drawable-creating function did not have a way to determine the colormap, and you then use drawable operations that require a colormap. The colormap for all drawables and graphics contexts you intend to use together should match. i.e. when using a GdkGC to draw to a drawable, or copying one drawable to another, the colormaps should match.

setData
void setData(string key, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroyFunc)

Warning gdk_drawable_set_data is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. This function is equivalent to g_object_set_data(), the GObject variant should be used instead.

setStruct
void setStruct(GObject* obj)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.

Undocumented in source.
addOnNotify
void addOnNotify(void delegate(ParamSpec, ObjectG) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has been changed. Note that getting this signal doesn't guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed, it may also be emitted when the setter for the property is called to reinstate the previous value. This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the It is important to note that you must use canonical parameter names as detail strings for the notify signal. See Also GParamSpecObject, g_param_spec_object()

callBackNotify
void callBackNotify(GObject* gobjectStruct, GParamSpec* pspec, ObjectG _objectG)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
classInstallProperty
void classInstallProperty(GObjectClass* oclass, uint propertyId, ParamSpec pspec)

Installs a new property. This is usually done in the class initializer. Note that it is possible to redefine a property in a derived class, by installing a property with the same name. This can be useful at times, e.g. to change the range of allowed values or the default value.

classInstallProperties
void classInstallProperties(GObjectClass* oclass, ParamSpec[] pspecs)

Installs new properties from an array of GParamSpecs. This is usually done in the class initializer. The property id of each property is the index of each GParamSpec in the pspecs array. The property id of 0 is treated specially by GObject and it should not be used to store a GParamSpec. This function should be used if you plan to use a static array of GParamSpecs and g_object_notify_by_pspec(). For instance, this Since 2.26

classFindProperty
ParamSpec classFindProperty(GObjectClass* oclass, string propertyName)

Looks up the GParamSpec for a property of a class.

classListProperties
ParamSpec[] classListProperties(GObjectClass* oclass)

Get an array of GParamSpec* for all properties of a class.

classOverrideProperty
void classOverrideProperty(GObjectClass* oclass, uint propertyId, string name)

Registers property_id as referring to a property with the name name in a parent class or in an interface implemented by oclass. This allows this class to override a property implementation in a parent class or to provide the implementation of a property from an interface. Note Internally, overriding is implemented by creating a property of type GParamSpecOverride; generally operations that query the properties of the object class, such as g_object_class_find_property() or g_object_class_list_properties() will return the overridden property. However, in one case, the construct_properties argument of the constructor virtual function, the GParamSpecOverride is passed instead, so that the param_id field of the GParamSpec will be correct. For virtually all uses, this makes no difference. If you need to get the overridden property, you can call g_param_spec_get_redirect_target(). Since 2.4

interfaceInstallProperty
void interfaceInstallProperty(void* iface, ParamSpec pspec)

Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property. This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface. Since 2.4

interfaceFindProperty
ParamSpec interfaceFindProperty(void* iface, string propertyName)

Find the GParamSpec with the given name for an interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek(). Since 2.4

interfaceListProperties
ParamSpec[] interfaceListProperties(void* iface)

Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek(). Since 2.4

doref
void* doref(void* object)

Increases the reference count of object.

unref
void unref(void* object)

Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

refSink
void* refSink(void* object)

Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the floating reference, if object has a floating reference. In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one. Since 2.10

clearObject
void clearObject(ObjectG objectPtr)

Clears a reference to a GObject. object_ptr must not be NULL. If the reference is NULL then this function does nothing. Otherwise, the reference count of the object is decreased and the pointer is set to NULL. This function is threadsafe and modifies the pointer atomically, using memory barriers where needed. A macro is also included that allows this function to be used without pointer casts. Since 2.28

isFloating
int isFloating(void* object)

Checks whether object has a floating reference. Since 2.10

forceFloating
void forceFloating()

This function is intended for GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating object reference. Doing this is seldomly required: all GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink(). Since 2.10

weakRef
void weakRef(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Adds a weak reference callback to an object. Weak references are used for notification when an object is finalized. They are called "weak references" because they allow you to safely hold a pointer to an object without calling g_object_ref() (g_object_ref() adds a strong reference, that is, forces the object to stay alive).

weakUnref
void weakUnref(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a weak reference callback to an object.

addWeakPointer
void addWeakPointer(void** weakPointerLocation)

Adds a weak reference from weak_pointer to object to indicate that the pointer located at weak_pointer_location is only valid during the lifetime of object. When the object is finalized, weak_pointer will be set to NULL.

removeWeakPointer
void removeWeakPointer(void** weakPointerLocation)

Removes a weak reference from object that was previously added using g_object_add_weak_pointer(). The weak_pointer_location has to match the one used with g_object_add_weak_pointer().

addToggleRef
void addToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Increases the reference count of the object by one and sets a callback to be called when all other references to the object are dropped, or when this is already the last reference to the object and another reference is established. This functionality is intended for binding object to a proxy object managed by another memory manager. This is done with two paired references: the strong reference added by g_object_add_toggle_ref() and a reverse reference to the proxy object which is either a strong reference or weak reference. The setup is that when there are no other references to object, only a weak reference is held in the reverse direction from object to the proxy object, but when there are other references held to object, a strong reference is held. The notify callback is called when the reference from object to the proxy object should be toggled from strong to weak (is_last_ref true) or weak to strong (is_last_ref false). Since a (normal) reference must be held to the object before calling g_object_toggle_ref(), the initial state of the reverse link is always strong. Multiple toggle references may be added to the same gobject, however if there are multiple toggle references to an object, none of them will ever be notified until all but one are removed. For this reason, you should only ever use a toggle reference if there is important state in the proxy object. Since 2.8

removeToggleRef
void removeToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a reference added with g_object_add_toggle_ref(). The reference count of the object is decreased by one. Since 2.8

notify
void notify(string propertyName)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object. When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

notifyByPspec
void notifyByPspec(ParamSpec pspec)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object. This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify(). One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with Since 2.26

freezeNotify
void freezeNotify()

Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

thawNotify
void thawNotify()

Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, all queued "notify" signals are emitted. It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

getData
void* getData(string key)

Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

setData
void setData(string key, void* data)

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association. If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

setDataFull
void setDataFull(string key, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

Like g_object_set_data() except it adds notification for when the association is destroyed, either by setting it to a different value or when the object is destroyed. Note that the destroy callback is not called if data is NULL.

stealData
void* stealData(string key)

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

getQdata
void* getQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().

setQdata
void setQdata(GQuark quark, void* data)

This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object. The name is specified through a GQuark (retrived e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the object with g_object_get_qdata() until the object is finalized. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.

setQdataFull
void setQdataFull(GQuark quark, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

This function works like g_object_set_qdata(), but in addition, a void (*destroy) (gpointer) function may be specified which is called with data as argument when the object is finalized, or the data is being overwritten by a call to g_object_set_qdata() with the same quark.

stealQdata
void* stealQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update

setProperty
void setProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Sets a property on an object.

getProperty
void getProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Gets a property of an object. value must have been initialized to the expected type of the property (or a type to which the expected type can be transformed) using g_value_init(). In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset(). Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.

setValist
void setValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Sets properties on an object.

getValist
void getValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Gets properties of an object. In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory in the appropriate manner for the type, for instance by calling g_free() or g_object_unref(). See g_object_get().

watchClosure
void watchClosure(Closure closure)

This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.

runDispose
void runDispose()

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles. This functions should only be called from object system implementations.
