Class Details

class Vips.Object(**kwargs)
Bases:

GObject.Object

Abstract:

Yes

Structure:

Vips.ObjectClass

classmethod get_property(gobject, property_id, value, pspec)
Parameters:
classmethod install_argument(pspec, flags, priority, offset)
Parameters:
classmethod new_from_string(object_class, p)
Parameters:
Return type:

Vips.Object

classmethod print_all()
classmethod print_summary_class(klass)
Parameters:

klass (Vips.ObjectClass) –

classmethod sanity_all()
classmethod set_property(gobject, property_id, value, pspec)
Parameters:
argument_isset(name)
Parameters:

name (str) – arg to fetch

Returns:

True if the argument has been assigned.

Return type:

bool

Convenience: has an argument been assigned. Useful for bindings.

argument_needsstring(name)
Parameters:

name (str) –

Return type:

bool

build()
Return type:

int

get_argument_flags(name)
Parameters:

name (str) – arg to fetch

Returns:

The Vips.ArgumentFlags for this argument.

Return type:

Vips.ArgumentFlags

Convenience: get the flags for an argument. Useful for bindings.

get_argument_priority(name)
Parameters:

name (str) – arg to fetch

Returns:

The priority of this argument.

Return type:

int

Convenience: get the priority for an argument. Useful for bindings.

get_argument_to_string(name, arg)
Parameters:
  • name (str) –

  • arg (str) –

Return type:

int

get_description()
Returns:

the object description

Return type:

str

Fetch the object description. Useful for language bindings.

self.description is only available after _build(), which can be too late. This function fetches from the instance, if possible, but falls back to the class description if we are too early.

local_cb(gobject)
Parameters:

gobject (GObject.Object) –

preclose()
print_dump()
print_name()
print_summary()
rewind()
sanity()
Return type:

bool

set_argument_from_string(name, value)
Parameters:
  • name (str) –

  • value (str) –

Return type:

int

set_from_string(string)
Parameters:

string (str) – arguments as a string

Returns:

0 on success, -1 on error

Return type:

int

Set object arguments from a string. The string can be something like “a=12”, or “a = 12, b = 13”, or “fred”. The string can optionally be enclosed in brackets.

You’d typically use this between creating the object and building it.

See also: vips_object_set(), Vips.Object.build(), vips_cache_operation_buildp().

set_required(value)
Parameters:

value (str) –

Return type:

int

set_static(static_object)
Parameters:

static_object (bool) –

to_string(buf)
Parameters:

buf (Vips.Buf) – write string here

The inverse of Vips.Object.new_from_string(): turn self into eg. “VipsInterpolateSnohalo1(blur=.333333)”.

unref_outputs()

Unref all assigned output objects. Useful for language bindings.

After an object is built, all output args are owned by the caller. If something goes wrong before then, we have to unref the outputs that have been made so far. This function can also be useful for callers when they’ve finished processing outputs themselves.

See also: Vips.cache_operation_build().

do_build() virtual
Return type:

int

do_close() virtual
do_output_to_arg(string) virtual
Parameters:

string (str) –

Return type:

int

do_postbuild(data) virtual
Parameters:

data (object or None) –

Return type:

int

do_postclose() virtual
do_preclose() virtual
do_rewind() virtual
do_sanity(buf) virtual
Parameters:

buf (Vips.Buf) –

do_to_string(buf) virtual
Parameters:

buf (Vips.Buf) – write string here

The inverse of Vips.Object.new_from_string(): turn object into eg. “VipsInterpolateSnohalo1(blur=.333333)”.

Signal Details

Vips.Object.signals.close(object)
Signal Name:

close

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

object (Vips.Object) – The object which received the signal

The ::close signal is emitted once during object close. The object is dying and may not work.

Vips.Object.signals.postbuild(object)
Signal Name:

postbuild

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

object (Vips.Object) – The object which received the signal

Return type:

int

The ::postbuild signal is emitted once just after successful object construction. Return non-zero to cause object construction to fail.

Vips.Object.signals.postclose(object)
Signal Name:

postclose

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

object (Vips.Object) – The object which received the signal

The ::postclose signal is emitted once after object close. The object pointer is still valid, but nothing else.

Vips.Object.signals.preclose(object)
Signal Name:

preclose

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

object (Vips.Object) – The object which received the signal

The ::preclose signal is emitted once just before object close starts. The object is still alive.
