Pixbuf.this

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:

- the file could not be opened - there is no loader for the file's format - there is not enough memory to allocate the image buffer - the image buffer contains invalid data

The error domains are GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_ERROR.

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 [ctor@GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file_at_scale].

Parameters

filename string

Name of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding

width int

The width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width

height int

The height the image should have or -1 to not constrain the height

Return Value

A newly-created pixbuf

Throws

GException on failure. ConstructionException GTK+ fails to create the object.
