Pixbuf

Description These functions allow to render pixbufs on drawables. Pixbufs are client-side images. For details on how to create and manipulate pixbufs, see the GdkPixbuf API documentation.

class Pixbuf : ObjectG {}

Constructors

this
this(GdkPixbuf* gdkPixbuf)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class

this
this(Drawable src, int srcX, int srcY, int width, int height)

Creates a new Pixbuf from a drawable. this is a simplyfied GetFromDrawable

this
this(GdkColorspace colorspace, int hasAlpha, int bitsPerSample, int width, int height)

Creates a new GdkPixbuf structure and allocates a buffer for it. The buffer has an optimal rowstride. Note that the buffer is not cleared; you will have to fill it completely yourself.

this
this(char* data, GdkColorspace colorspace, int hasAlpha, int bitsPerSample, int width, int height, int rowstride, GdkPixbufDestroyNotify destroyFn, void* destroyFnData)

Creates a new GdkPixbuf out of in-memory image data. Currently only RGB images with 8 bits per sample are supported.

this
this(string[] data)

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.

this
this(ubyte[] data, int copyPixels)

Create a GdkPixbuf 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. gdk-pixbuf 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

this
this(Pixbuf srcPixbuf, int srcX, int srcY, int width, int height)

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.

this
this(string filename)

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error will be set. Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_ERROR domains.

this
this(string filename, int width, int height)

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error will be set. Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_ERROR domains. The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, preserving the image's aspect ratio. Note that the returned pixbuf may be smaller than width x height, if the aspect ratio requires it. To load and image at the requested size, regardless of aspect ratio, use gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale(). Since 2.4

this
this(string filename, int width, int height, int preserveAspectRatio)

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error will be set. Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_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. When not preserving aspect ratio, a width or height of -1 means to not scale the image at all in that dimension. Negative values for width and height are allowed since 2.8. Since 2.6

this
this(InputStream stream, Cancellable cancellable)

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an input stream. The file format is detected automatically. If NULL 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 2.14

this
this(InputStream stream, int width, int height, int preserveAspectRatio, Cancellable cancellable)

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an input stream. The file format is detected automatically. If NULL 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. 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 2.14

Functions

addAlpha
Pixbuf addAlpha(int substituteColor, char r, char g, char b)

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.

applyEmbeddedOrientation
Pixbuf applyEmbeddedOrientation()

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 2.12

composite
void composite(Pixbuf dest, int destX, int destY, int destWidth, int destHeight, double offsetX, double offsetY, double scaleX, double scaleY, GdkInterpType interpType, int overallAlpha)

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. Figure 1. Compositing of pixbufs

compositeColor
void compositeColor(Pixbuf dest, int destX, int destY, int destWidth, int destHeight, double offsetX, double offsetY, double scaleX, double scaleY, GdkInterpType interpType, int overallAlpha, int checkX, int checkY, int checkSize, uint color1, uint color2)

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

compositeColorSimple
Pixbuf compositeColorSimple(int destWidth, int destHeight, GdkInterpType interpType, int overallAlpha, int checkSize, uint color1, uint color2)

Creates a new GdkPixbuf by scaling src to dest_width x dest_height and compositing the result with a checkboard of colors color1 and color2.

copy
Pixbuf copy()

Creates a new GdkPixbuf with a copy of the information in the specified pixbuf.

copyArea
void copyArea(int srcX, int srcY, int width, int height, Pixbuf destPixbuf, int destX, int destY)

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.

fill
void fill(uint 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.

flip
Pixbuf flip(int horizontal)

Flips a pixbuf horizontally or vertically and returns the result in a new pixbuf. Since 2.6

getBitsPerSample
int getBitsPerSample()

Queries the number of bits per color sample in a pixbuf.

getColorspace
GdkColorspace getColorspace()

Queries the color space of a pixbuf.

getFromImage
Pixbuf getFromImage(ImageGdk src, Colormap cmap, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY, int width, int height)

Same as gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable() but gets the pixbuf from an image.

getHasAlpha
int getHasAlpha()

Queries whether a pixbuf has an alpha channel (opacity information).

getHeight
int getHeight()

Queries the height of a pixbuf.

getNChannels
int getNChannels()

Queries the number of channels of a pixbuf.

getOption
string getOption(string key)

Looks up key in the list of options that may have been attached to the pixbuf when it was loaded, or that may have been attached by another function using gdk_pixbuf_set_option(). 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).

getPixbufStruct
GdkPixbuf* getPixbufStruct()
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getPixels
char* getPixels()

Queries a pointer to the pixel data of a pixbuf.

getRowstride
int getRowstride()

Queries the rowstride of a pixbuf, which is the number of bytes between the start of a row and the start of the next row.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getWidth
int getWidth()

Queries the width of a pixbuf.

renderPixmapAndMask
void renderPixmapAndMask(GdkPixmap* pixmapReturn, Bitmap maskReturn, int alphaThreshold)

Creates a pixmap and a mask bitmap which are returned in the pixmap_return and mask_return arguments, respectively, and renders a pixbuf and its corresponding thresholded alpha mask to them. This is merely a convenience function; applications that need to render pixbufs with dither offsets or to given drawables should use gdk_draw_pixbuf() and gdk_pixbuf_render_threshold_alpha(). The pixmap that is created is created for the colormap returned by gdk_rgb_get_colormap(). You normally will want to instead use the actual colormap for a widget, and use gdk_pixbuf_render_pixmap_and_mask_for_colormap(). If the pixbuf does not have an alpha channel, then *mask_return will be set to NULL.

renderPixmapAndMaskForColormap
void renderPixmapAndMaskForColormap(Colormap colormap, GdkPixmap* pixmapReturn, Bitmap maskReturn, int alphaThreshold)

Creates a pixmap and a mask bitmap which are returned in the pixmap_return and mask_return arguments, respectively, and renders a pixbuf and its corresponding tresholded alpha mask to them. This is merely a convenience function; applications that need to render pixbufs with dither offsets or to given drawables should use gdk_draw_pixbuf(), and gdk_pixbuf_render_threshold_alpha(). The pixmap that is created uses the GdkColormap specified by colormap. This colormap must match the colormap of the window where the pixmap will eventually be used or an error will result. If the pixbuf does not have an alpha channel, then *mask_return will be set to NULL.

renderThresholdAlpha
void renderThresholdAlpha(Bitmap bitmap, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY, int width, int height, int alphaThreshold)

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.

renderToDrawable
void renderToDrawable(Drawable drawable, GC gc, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY, int width, int height, GdkRgbDither dither, int xDither, int yDither)

Warning gdk_pixbuf_render_to_drawable has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. This function is obsolete. Use gdk_draw_pixbuf() instead. 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.

renderToDrawableAlpha
void renderToDrawableAlpha(Drawable drawable, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY, int width, int height, GdkPixbufAlphaMode alphaMode, int alphaThreshold, GdkRgbDither dither, int xDither, int yDither)

Warning gdk_pixbuf_render_to_drawable_alpha has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. This function is obsolete. Use gdk_draw_pixbuf() 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.

rotateSimple
Pixbuf rotateSimple(GdkPixbufRotation angle)

Rotates a pixbuf by a multiple of 90 degrees, and returns the result in a new pixbuf. Since 2.6

saturateAndPixelate
void saturateAndPixelate(Pixbuf dest, float saturation, int pixelate)

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 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.

saveToBufferv
int saveToBufferv(char[] buffer, string type, string[] optionKeys, string[] optionValues)

Saves pixbuf to a new buffer in format type, which is currently "jpeg", "tiff", "png", "ico" or "bmp". See gdk_pixbuf_save_to_buffer() for more details. Since 2.4

saveToCallbackv
int saveToCallbackv(GdkPixbufSaveFunc saveFunc, void* userData, string type, string[] optionKeys, string[] optionValues)

Saves pixbuf to a callback in format type, which is currently "jpeg", "png", "tiff", "ico" or "bmp". If error is set, FALSE will be returned. See gdk_pixbuf_save_to_callback() for more details. Since 2.4

savev
int savev(string filename, string type, string[] optionKeys, string[] optionValues)

Saves pixbuf to a file in type, which is currently "jpeg", "png", "tiff", "ico" or "bmp". If error is set, FALSE will be returned. See gdk_pixbuf_save() for more details.

scale
void scale(Pixbuf dest, int destX, int destY, int destWidth, int destHeight, double offsetX, double offsetY, double scaleX, double scaleY, GdkInterpType interpType)

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 gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple() first, this function is the industrial-strength power tool you can fall back to if gdk_pixbuf_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.

scaleSimple
Pixbuf scaleSimple(int destWidth, int destHeight, GdkInterpType interpType)

Create a new GdkPixbuf 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 gdk_pixbuf_new_subpixbuf(). For more complicated scaling/compositing see gdk_pixbuf_scale() and gdk_pixbuf_composite().

setFromDrawable
void setFromDrawable(Drawable src, int srcX, int srcY, int width, int height)

SetFromDrawable is different from GetFrom Drawable as it doesn't create a new pixbuf

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

Static functions

getFromDrawable
Pixbuf getFromDrawable(Drawable src, Colormap cmap, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY, int width, int height)

Transfers image data from a GdkDrawable and converts it to an RGB(A) representation inside a GdkPixbuf. In other words, copies image data from a server-side drawable to a client-side RGB(A) buffer. This allows you to efficiently read individual pixels on the client side. If the drawable src has no colormap (gdk_drawable_get_colormap() returns NULL), then a suitable colormap must be specified. Typically a GdkWindow or a pixmap created by passing a GdkWindow to gdk_pixmap_new() will already have a colormap associated with it. If the drawable has a colormap, the cmap argument will be ignored. If the drawable is a bitmap (1 bit per pixel pixmap), then a colormap is not required; pixels with a value of 1 are assumed to be white, and pixels with a value of 0 are assumed to be black. For taking screenshots, gdk_colormap_get_system() returns the correct colormap to use. If the specified destination pixbuf dest is NULL, then this function will create an RGB pixbuf with 8 bits per channel and no alpha, with the same size specified by the width and height arguments. In this case, the dest_x and dest_y arguments must be specified as 0. If the specified destination pixbuf is not NULL and it contains alpha information, then the filled pixels will be set to full opacity (alpha = 255). If the specified drawable is a pixmap, then the requested source rectangle must be completely contained within the pixmap, otherwise the function will return NULL. For pixmaps only (not for windows) passing -1 for width or height is allowed to mean the full width or height of the pixmap. If the specified drawable is a window, and the window is off the screen, then there is no image data in the obscured/offscreen regions to be placed in the pixbuf. The contents of portions of the pixbuf corresponding to the offscreen region are undefined. If the window you're obtaining data from is partially obscured by other windows, then the contents of the pixbuf areas corresponding to the obscured regions are undefined. If the target drawable is not mapped (typically because it's iconified/minimized or not on the current workspace), then NULL will be returned. If memory can't be allocated for the return value, NULL will be returned instead. (In short, there are several ways this function can fail, and if it fails it returns NULL; so check the return value.) This function calls gdk_drawable_get_image() internally and converts the resulting image to a GdkPixbuf, so the documentation for gdk_drawable_get_image() may also be relevant.

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.
