PixbufLoader.getPixbuf

Queries the GdkPixbuf that a pixbuf loader is currently creating. In general it only makes sense to call this function after the "area-prepared" signal has been emitted by the loader; this means that enough data has been read to know the size of the image that will be allocated. If the loader has not received enough data via gdk_pixbuf_loader_write(), then this function returns NULL. The returned pixbuf will be the same in all future calls to the loader, so simply calling g_object_ref() should be sufficient to continue using it. Additionally, if the loader is an animation, it will return the "static image" of the animation (see gdk_pixbuf_animation_get_static_image()).

class PixbufLoader

Return Value

Type: Pixbuf

The GdkPixbuf that the loader is creating, or NULL if not enough data has been read to determine how to create the image buffer. [transfer none]
