Image

Description The GtkImage widget displays an image. Various kinds of object can be displayed as an image; most typically, you would load a GdkPixbuf ("pixel buffer") from a file, and then display that. There's a convenience function to do this, gtk_image_new_from_file(), used as follows: If the file isn't loaded successfully, the image will contain a "broken image" icon similar to that used in many web browsers. If you want to handle errors in loading the file yourself, for example by displaying an error message, then load the image with gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file(), then create the GtkImage with gtk_image_new_from_pixbuf(). The image file may contain an animation, if so the GtkImage will display an animation (GdkPixbufAnimation) instead of a static image. GtkImage is a subclass of GtkMisc, which implies that you can align it (center, left, right) and add padding to it, using GtkMisc methods. GtkImage is a "no window" widget (has no GdkWindow of its own), so by default does not receive events. If you want to receive events on the image, such as button clicks, place the image inside a GtkEventBox, then connect to the event signals on the event box. When handling events on the event box, keep in mind that coordinates in the image may be different from event box coordinates due to the alignment and padding settings on the image (see GtkMisc). The simplest way to solve this is to set the alignment to 0.0 (left/top), and set the padding to zero. Then the origin of the image will be the same as the origin of the event box. Sometimes an application will want to avoid depending on external data files, such as image files. GTK+ comes with a program to avoid this, called gdk-pixbuf-csource. This program allows you to convert an image into a C variable declaration, which can then be loaded into a GdkPixbuf using gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline().

Constructors

this this(GtkImage* gtkImage): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class
this this(StockID stockID, GtkIconSize size): Creates a GtkImage displaying a stock icon. Sample stock icon names are GTK_STOCK_OPEN, GTK_STOCK_EXIT. Sample stock sizes are GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU, GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR. If the stock icon name isn't known, the image will be empty. You can register your own stock icon names, see gtk_icon_factory_add_default() and gtk_icon_factory_add().
this this(string iconName, GtkIconSize size): Creates a GtkImage displaying an icon from the current icon theme. If the icon name isn't known, a "broken image" icon will be displayed instead. If the current icon theme is changed, the icon will be updated appropriately. Since 2.6
this this(string filename): Creates a new GtkImage displaying the file filename. If the file isn't found or can't be loaded, the resulting GtkImage will display a "broken image" icon. This function never returns NULL, it always returns a valid GtkImage widget. If the file contains an animation, the image will contain an animation. If you need to detect failures to load the file, use gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() to load the file yourself, then create the GtkImage from the pixbuf. (Or for animations, use gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_file()). The storage type (gtk_image_get_storage_type()) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.
this this(IconSet iconSet, GtkIconSize size): Creates a GtkImage displaying an icon set. Sample stock sizes are GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU, GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR. Instead of using this function, usually it's better to create a GtkIconFactory, put your icon sets in the icon factory, add the icon factory to the list of default factories with gtk_icon_factory_add_default(), and then use gtk_image_new_from_stock(). This will allow themes to override the icon you ship with your application. The GtkImage does not assume a reference to the icon set; you still need to unref it if you own references. GtkImage will add its own reference rather than adopting yours.
this this(ImageGdk image, Bitmap mask): Creates a GtkImage widget displaying a image with a mask. A GdkImage is a client-side image buffer in the pixel format of the current display. The GtkImage does not assume a reference to the image or mask; you still need to unref them if you own references. GtkImage will add its own reference rather than adopting yours.
this this(Pixbuf pixbuf): Creates a new GtkImage displaying pixbuf. The GtkImage does not assume a reference to the pixbuf; you still need to unref it if you own references. GtkImage will add its own reference rather than adopting yours. Note that this function just creates an GtkImage from the pixbuf. The GtkImage created will not react to state changes. Should you want that, you should use gtk_image_new_from_icon_set().
this this(Pixmap pixmap, Bitmap mask): Creates a GtkImage widget displaying pixmap with a mask. A GdkPixmap is a server-side image buffer in the pixel format of the current display. The GtkImage does not assume a reference to the pixmap or mask; you still need to unref them if you own references. GtkImage will add its own reference rather than adopting yours.
this this(PixbufAnimation animation): Creates a GtkImage displaying the given animation. The GtkImage does not assume a reference to the animation; you still need to unref it if you own references. GtkImage will add its own reference rather than adopting yours. Note that the animation frames are shown using a timeout with G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT. When using animations to indicate busyness, keep in mind that the animation will only be shown if the main loop is not busy with something that has a higher priority.
this this(IconIF icon, GtkIconSize size): Creates a GtkImage displaying an icon from the current icon theme. If the icon name isn't known, a "broken image" icon will be displayed instead. If the current icon theme is changed, the icon will be updated appropriately. Since 2.14
this this(): Creates a new empty GtkImage widget.
