Image.this

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 you need to detect failures to load the file, use [ctor@Gdk.Texture.new_from_file] to load the file yourself, then create the GtkImage from the texture.

The storage type (see [method@Gtk.Image.get_storage_type]) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.

Parameters

filename string

a filename

Return Value

a new GtkImage

Throws

ConstructionException GTK+ fails to create the object.
