GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf ¶

Returns:

A GdkPixbufFormat describing the image format of the file

width:: Return location for the width of the image, or NULL
height:: Return location for the height of the image, or NULL

Return type:

(GdkPixbuf.PixbufFormat or None, width: int, height: int)

Finishes an asynchronous pixbuf parsing operation started with GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.get_file_info_async().

New in version 2.32.

classmethod get_formats()[source]¶

Returns:: A list of support image formats.
Return type:: [GdkPixbuf.PixbufFormat]

Obtains the available information about the image formats supported by GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.

New in version 2.2.

classmethod init_modules(path)[source]¶

Parameters:: path (str) – Path to directory where the loaders.cache is installed
Raises:: GLib.Error
Return type:: bool

Initalizes the gdk-pixbuf loader modules referenced by the loaders.cache file present inside that directory.

This is to be used by applications that want to ship certain loaders in a different location from the system ones.

This is needed when the OS or runtime ships a minimal number of loaders so as to reduce the potential attack surface of carefully crafted image files, especially for uncommon file types. Applications that require broader image file types coverage, such as image viewers, would be expected to ship the gdk-pixbuf modules in a separate location, bundled with the application in a separate directory from the OS or runtime- provided modules.

New in version 2.40.

classmethod new(colorspace, has_alpha, bits_per_sample, width, height)[source]¶

Parameters:

colorspace (GdkPixbuf.Colorspace) – Color space for image
has_alpha (bool) – Whether the image should have transparency information
bits_per_sample (int) – Number of bits per color sample
width (int) – Width of image in pixels, must be > 0
height (int) – Height of image in pixels, must be > 0

Returns:

A newly-created pixel buffer

Return type:

Creates a new GdkPixbuf structure and allocates a buffer for it.

If the allocation of the buffer failed, this function will return NULL.

The buffer has an optimal rowstride. Note that the buffer is not cleared; you will have to fill it completely yourself.

classmethod new_from_bytes(data, colorspace, has_alpha, bits_per_sample, width, height, rowstride)[source]¶

Parameters:

data (GLib.Bytes) – Image data in 8-bit/sample packed format inside a GLib.Bytes
colorspace (GdkPixbuf.Colorspace) – Colorspace for the image data
has_alpha (bool) – Whether the data has an opacity channel
bits_per_sample (int) – Number of bits per sample
width (int) – Width of the image in pixels, must be > 0
height (int) – Height of the image in pixels, must be > 0
rowstride (int) – Distance in bytes between row starts

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

Creates a new GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf out of in-memory readonly image data.

Currently only RGB images with 8 bits per sample are supported.

This is the GBytes variant of GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_data(), useful for language bindings.

New in version 2.32.

classmethod new_from_data(data, colorspace, has_alpha, bits_per_sample, width, height, rowstride, destroy_fn, *destroy_fn_data)[source]¶

Parameters:

data (bytes) – Image data in 8-bit/sample packed format
colorspace (GdkPixbuf.Colorspace) – Colorspace for the image data
has_alpha (bool) – Whether the data has an opacity channel
bits_per_sample (int) – Number of bits per sample
width (int) – Width of the image in pixels, must be > 0
height (int) – Height of the image in pixels, must be > 0
rowstride (int) – Distance in bytes between row starts
destroy_fn (GdkPixbuf.PixbufDestroyNotify or None) – Function used to free the data when the pixbuf’s reference count drops to zero, or None if the data should not be freed
destroy_fn_data (object or None) – Closure data to pass to the destroy notification function

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

Creates a new GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf out of in-memory image data.

Currently only RGB images with 8 bits per sample are supported.

Since you are providing a pre-allocated pixel buffer, you must also specify a way to free that data. This is done with a function of type GdkPixbufDestroyNotify. When a pixbuf created with is finalized, your destroy notification function will be called, and it is its responsibility to free the pixel array.

classmethod new_from_file(filename)[source]¶

Parameters:: filename (str) – Name of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: A newly-created pixbuf
Return type:: GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf or None

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.

classmethod new_from_file_at_scale(filename, width, height, preserve_aspect_ratio)[source]¶

Parameters:

filename (str) – 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
preserve_aspect_ratio (bool) – TRUE to preserve the image’s aspect ratio

Raises:

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

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, 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.

New in version 2.6.

classmethod new_from_file_at_size(filename, width, height)[source]¶

Parameters:

filename (str) – 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

Raises:

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

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].

New in version 2.4.

classmethod new_from_inline(data, copy_pixels)[source]¶

Parameters:

data (bytes) – Byte data containing a serialized GdkPixdata structure
copy_pixels (bool) – Whether to copy the pixel data, or use direct pointers data for the resulting pixbuf

Raises:

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

Creates 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.

GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf ships with a program called gdk-pixbuf-csource, which allows for conversion of ``GdkPixbuf``s into such a inline representation.

In almost all cases, you should pass the --raw option to gdk-pixbuf-csource. A sample invocation would be:

`` gdk-pixbuf-csource –raw –name=myimage_inline myimage.png ``

For the typical case where the inline pixbuf is read-only static data, you don’t need to copy the pixel data unless you intend to write to it, so you can pass FALSE for copy_pixels. If you pass --rle to gdk-pixbuf-csource, a copy will be made even if copy_pixels is FALSE, so using this option is generally a bad idea.

If you create a pixbuf from const inline data compiled into your program, it’s probably safe to ignore errors and disable length checks, since things will always succeed:

``c pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline (-1, myimage_inline, FALSE, NULL); ``

For non-const inline data, you could get out of memory. For untrusted inline data located at runtime, you could have corrupt inline data in addition.

Deprecated since version 2.32: Use GResource instead.

classmethod new_from_resource(resource_path)[source]¶

Parameters:: resource_path (str) – the path of the resource file
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: A newly-created pixbuf
Return type:: GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf or None

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an resource.

The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error will be set.

New in version 2.26.

classmethod new_from_resource_at_scale(resource_path, width, height, preserve_aspect_ratio)[source]¶

Parameters:

resource_path (str) – the path of the resource file
width (int) – The width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width

Raises:

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an resource.

The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error will be set.

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.

Raises:

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

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 G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Other possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_IO_ERROR domains.

The stream is not closed.

New in version 2.14.

Raises:

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

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 G_IO_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. If both width and height are given, this function will behave as if the smaller of the two values is passed as -1.

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.

New in version 2.14.

classmethod new_from_stream_at_scale_async(stream, width, height, preserve_aspect_ratio, cancellable, callback, *user_data)[source]¶

New in version 2.24.

classmethod new_from_xpm_data(data)[source]¶

Parameters:: data ([str]) – Pointer to inline XPM data.
Returns:: A newly-created pixbuf
Return type:: GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf or None

r (int) – Red value to substitute.
g (int) – Green value to substitute.
b (int) – Blue value to substitute.

Returns:

A newly-created pixbuf

Return type:

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 the (r, g, b) arguments will be assigned zero opacity. That is, if you pass (255, 255, 255) for the substitute color, all white pixels will become fully transparent.

If substitute_color is FALSE, then the (r, g, b) arguments will be ignored.

apply_embedded_orientation()[source]¶

Returns:: A newly-created pixbuf
Return type:: GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf or None

Takes an existing pixbuf and checks for the presence of an associated “orientation” option.

The orientation option 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.

New in version 2.12.

composite(dest, dest_x, dest_y, dest_width, dest_height, offset_x, offset_y, scale_x, scale_y, interp_type, overall_alpha)[source]¶

Parameters:

dest_x (int) – the left coordinate for region to render
dest_y (int) – the top coordinate for region to render
dest_width (int) – the width of the region to render
dest_height (int) – the height of the region to render
offset_x (float) – the offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer)
offset_y (float) – the offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer)

interp_type (GdkPixbuf.InterpType) – the interpolation type for the transformation.
overall_alpha (int) – overall alpha for source image (0..255)

Creates a transformation of the source image self 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 alpha blended 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.

composite_color(dest, dest_x, dest_y, dest_width, dest_height, offset_x, offset_y, scale_x, scale_y, interp_type, overall_alpha, check_x, check_y, check_size, color1, color2)[source]¶

scale_x (float) – the scale factor in the X direction
scale_y (float) – the scale factor in the Y direction
interp_type (GdkPixbuf.InterpType) – the interpolation type for the transformation.
overall_alpha (int) – overall alpha for source image (0..255)
check_x (int) – the X offset for the checkboard (origin of checkboard is at -check_x, -check_y)
check_y (int) – the Y offset for the checkboard
check_size (int) – the size of checks in the checkboard (must be a power of two)
color1 (int) – the color of check at upper left
color2 (int) – the color of the other check

Creates a transformation of the source image self by scaling by scale_x and scale_y then translating by offset_x and offset_y, then alpha blends 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.

If the source image has no alpha channel, and overall_alpha is 255, a fast path is used which omits the alpha blending and just performs the scaling.

See GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.composite_color_simple() for a simpler variant of this function suitable for many tasks.

copy()[source]¶

Returns:: A newly-created pixbuf
Return type:: GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf or None

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

Note that this does not copy the options set on the original GdkPixbuf, use GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.copy_options() for this.

copy_area(src_x, src_y, width, height, dest_pixbuf, dest_x, dest_y)[source]¶

Parameters:

src_x (int) – Source X coordinate within self.
src_y (int) – Source Y coordinate within self.

dest_x (int) – X coordinate within dest_pixbuf.
dest_y (int) – Y coordinate within dest_pixbuf.

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.

copy_options(dest_pixbuf)[source]¶

Parameters:: dest_pixbuf (GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf) – the destination pixbuf
Returns:: TRUE on success.
Return type:: bool

Returns:: the value associated with key
Return type:: str or None

Looks up key in the list of options that may have been attached to the self when it was loaded, or that may have been attached by another function using GdkPixbuf.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). Since 2.32, the TIFF loader sets the “multipage” option string to “yes” when a multi-page TIFF is loaded. Since 2.32 the JPEG and PNG loaders set “x-dpi” and “y-dpi” if the file contains image density information in dots per inch. Since 2.36.6, the JPEG loader sets the “comment” option with the comment EXIF tag.

get_options()[source]¶

Returns:: a GLib.HashTable of key/values pairs
Return type:: {str: str}

Returns a GHashTable with a list of all the options that may have been attached to the pixbuf when it was loaded, or that may have been attached by another function using [method`GdkPixbuf`.Pixbuf.set_option].

New in version 2.32.

get_pixels()[source]¶

Returns:: A pointer to the pixbuf’s pixel data.
Return type:: bytes

Queries a pointer to the pixel data of a pixbuf.

This function will cause an implicit copy of the pixbuf data if the pixbuf was created from read-only data.

Please see the section on image data for information about how the pixel data is stored in memory.

New in version 2.26.

get_rowstride()[source]¶

Returns:: Distance between row starts.
Return type:: int

new_subpixbuf(src_x, src_y, width, height)[source]¶

Parameters:

src_x (int) – X coord in self
src_y (int) – Y coord in self
width (int) – width of region in self
height (int) – height of region in self

Returns:

a new pixbuf

Return type:

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.

Note that if src_pixbuf is read-only, this function will force it to be mutable.

read_pixel_bytes()[source]¶

Returns:: A new reference to a read-only copy of the pixel data. Note that for mutable pixbufs, this function will incur a one-time copy of the pixel data for conversion into the returned GLib.Bytes.
Return type:: GLib.Bytes

Provides a GLib.Bytes buffer containing the raw pixel data; the data must not be modified.

This function allows skipping the implicit copy that must be made if GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.get_pixels() is called on a read-only pixbuf.

New in version 2.32.

read_pixels()[source]¶

Returns:: a read-only pointer to the raw pixel data
Return type:: int

Provides a read-only pointer to the raw pixel data.

This function allows skipping the implicit copy that must be made if GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.get_pixels() is called on a read-only pixbuf.

New in version 2.32.

remove_option(key)[source]¶

Parameters:: key (str) – a nul-terminated string representing the key to remove.
Returns:: TRUE if an option was removed, FALSE if not.
Return type:: bool

Removes the key/value pair option attached to a GdkPixbuf.

Parameters:: angle (GdkPixbuf.PixbufRotation) – the angle to rotate by
Returns:: the new pixbuf
Return type:: GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf or None

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

If angle is 0, this function will return a copy of src.

New in version 2.6.

saturate_and_pixelate(dest, saturation, pixelate)[source]¶

Parameters:

dest (GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf) – place to write modified version of self
saturation (float) – saturation factor
pixelate (bool) – whether to pixelate

Modifies saturation and optionally pixelates src, placing the result in dest.

The src and dest pixbufs must have the same image format, size, and rowstride.

The src and dest arguments 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.

save_to_bufferv(type, option_keys, option_values)[source]¶

save_to_callbackv(save_func, user_data, type, option_keys, option_values)[source]¶

Parameters:

save_func (GdkPixbuf.PixbufSaveFunc) – a function that is called to save each block of data that the save routine generates.
user_data (object or None) – user data to pass to the save function.
type (str) – name of file format.
option_keys ([str] or None) – name of options to set
option_values ([str] or None) – values for named options

Raises:

Returns:

whether an error was set

Return type:

Vector version of gdk_pixbuf_save_to_callback().

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 [method`GdkPixbuf`.Pixbuf.save_to_callback] for more details.

New in version 2.4.

save_to_streamv(stream, type, option_keys, option_values, cancellable)[source]¶

Parameters:

stream (Gio.OutputStream) – a GOutputStream to save the pixbuf to
type (str) – name of file format
option_keys ([str] or None) – name of options to set
option_values ([str] or None) – values for named options
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore

Raises:

Returns:

TRUE if the pixbuf was saved successfully, FALSE if an error was set.

Return type:

Saves pixbuf to an output stream.

Supported file formats are currently “jpeg”, “tiff”, “png”, “ico” or “bmp”.

See [method`GdkPixbuf`.Pixbuf.save_to_stream] for more details.

New in version 2.36.

save_to_streamv_async(stream, type, option_keys, option_values, cancellable, callback, *user_data)[source]¶

Parameters:

stream (Gio.OutputStream) – a GOutputStream to which to save the pixbuf
type (str) – name of file format
option_keys ([str] or None) – name of options to set
option_values ([str] or None) – values for named options
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the pixbuf is saved
user_data (object or None) – the data to pass to the callback function

Saves pixbuf to an output stream asynchronously.

For more details see GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.save_to_streamv(), which is the synchronous version of this function.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called in the main thread.

You can then call GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.save_to_stream_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 2.36.

savev(filename, type, option_keys, option_values)[source]¶

Parameters:

filename (str) – name of file to save.
type (str) – name of file format.
option_keys ([str] or None) – name of options to set
option_values ([str] or None) – values for named options

Raises:

Returns:

whether an error was set

Return type:

Vector version of gdk_pixbuf_save().

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 [method`GdkPixbuf`.Pixbuf.save] for more details.

scale(dest, dest_x, dest_y, dest_width, dest_height, offset_x, offset_y, scale_x, scale_y, interp_type)[source]¶

Parameters:

dest (GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf) – the GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf into which to render the results
dest_x (int) – the left coordinate for region to render
dest_y (int) – the top coordinate for region to render
dest_width (int) – the width of the region to render
dest_height (int) – the height of the region to render
offset_x (float) – the offset in the X direction (currently rounded to an integer)
offset_y (float) – the offset in the Y direction (currently rounded to an integer)
scale_x (float) – the scale factor in the X direction
scale_y (float) – the scale factor in the Y direction
interp_type (GdkPixbuf.InterpType) – the interpolation type for the transformation.

Creates a transformation of the source image self 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 GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.scale_simple() first; this function is the industrial-strength power tool you can fall back to, if GdkPixbuf.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.

scale_simple(dest_width, dest_height, interp_type)[source]¶

Parameters:

dest_width (int) – the width of destination image
dest_height (int) – the height of destination image
interp_type (GdkPixbuf.InterpType) – the interpolation type for the transformation.

Returns:

the new pixbuf

Return type:

Create a new pixbuf containing a copy of src scaled to dest_width x dest_height.

This function leaves src unaffected.

The 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 [method`GdkPixbuf`.Pixbuf.new_subpixbuf].

If dest_width and dest_height are equal to the width and height of src, this function will return an unscaled copy of src.

For more complicated scaling/alpha blending see [method`GdkPixbuf`.Pixbuf.scale] and [method`GdkPixbuf`.Pixbuf.composite].

set_option(key, value)[source]¶

Parameters:

key (str) – a nul-terminated string.
value (str) – a nul-terminated string.

Returns:

TRUE on success

Return type:
