METHODS

17   pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new ($colorspace, $has_alpha, $bits_per_sample,
18       $width, $height)
19       •   $colorspace (Gtk2::Gdk::Colorspace)
20
21       •   $has_alpha (boolean)
22
23       •   $bits_per_sample (integer)
24
25       •   $width (integer)
26
27       •   $height (integer)
28
29   pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_data ($data, $colorspace, $has_alpha,
30       $bits_per_sample, $width, $height, $rowstride)
31       •   $data (scalar) packed binary pixel data, usually made with pack()
32
33       •   $colorspace (Gtk2::Gdk::Colorspace)
34
35       •   $has_alpha (boolean) true if the image data includes an alpha
36           channel (opacity information).
37
38       •   $bits_per_sample (integer)
39
40       •   $width (integer) in pixels.
41
42       •   $height (integer) in pixels.
43
44       •   $rowstride (integer) distance in bytes between row starts; usually
45           3*width for rgb data, 4*width if $has_alpha is true.
46
47       Creates a new Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf out of in-memory image data.  Currently
48       only RGB images with 8 bits per sample are supported.
49
50       In C this function allows you to wrap a GdkPixbuf structure around
51       existing pixel data.  In Perl, we have to use "pack" to generate a
52       scalar containing the pixel data, and pass that scalar to
53       "new_from_data", which copies the scalar to keep it around.  It also
54       manages the memory automagically, so there's no need for a destruction
55       notifier function.  This all means that if you change your copy of the
56       data scalar later, the pixbuf will not reflect that, but because of the
57       way perl manages string data and scalars, it would be pretty fragile to
58       do that in the first place.  If you need to modify a pixbuf's data
59       after it has been created, you can create new pixbufs for the changed
60       regions and use "$pixbuf->composite", or try a different approach
61       (possibly use a server-side pixmap and gdk drawing primitives, or
62       something like libart).
63
64   pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_file ($filename)
65       •   $filename (localized file name)
66
67       May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.
68
69   pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_file_at_scale ($filename, $width,
70       $height, $preserve_aspect_ratio)
71       •   $filename (localized file name)
72
73       •   $width (integer)
74
75       •   $height (integer)
76
77       •   $preserve_aspect_ratio (boolean)
78
79       May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.
80
81       Since: gtk+ 2.6
82
83   pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_file_at_size ($filename, $width,
84       $height)
85       •   $filename (localized file name)
86
87       •   $width (integer)
88
89       •   $height (integer)
90
91       May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.
92
93       Since: gtk+ 2.4
94
95   pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_inline ($data, $copy_pixels=TRUE)
96       •   $data (scalar) packed binary data, the format is special, see
97           discussion
98
99       •   $copy_pixels (boolean) whether $data should be copied, defaults to
100           true
101
102       Gtk+ ships with a tool called "gdk-pixbuf-csource", which turns any
103       image understood by gdk-pixbuf into the C syntax of the declaration of
104       a static data structure containing that image data, to be #included
105       directly into your source code.  "gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline" creates a
106       new GdkPixbuf from that data structure.
107
108       Currently, this is not very easy to do from Perl.  The output of
109       "gdk-pixbuf-csource" must be mangled rather ruthlessly to create valid
110       Perl code using pack and translation from C string escapes to valid
111       Perl string escapes (for encoding and interpretation isses).  Because
112       Perl scalars are garbage collected, it's rather rare to have the
113       ability to use static data, so $copy_pixels defaults to true; if you
114       can guarantee the image data will outlive the pixbuf you can pass false
115       here and save some memory.
116
117       For more information, see the description of
118       "gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline" in the C API reference at
119       http://gtk.org/api/ .
120
121       May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.
122
123   pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_xpm_data (...)
124       •   ... (list) xpm data as a list of strings (see discussion)
125
126       X Pixel Map (XPM) files are designed to be easy to edit and easy to
127       include directly into C programs.  The file format is the C syntax of
128       the declaration and initialization of a variable containing an array of
129       strings.  "new_from_xpm_data" allows you to create an image from such
130       data included directly in your program source.
131
132       Since XPM files are C syntax, you must mangle that source a bit to work
133       in a Perl program.  For example, this is a valid xpm, but it is not
134       valid Perl code:
135
136        /* XPM */
137        static char * test_xpm[] = {
138        "4 4 3 1",
139        "      c None",
140        ".     c red",
141        "+     c blue",
142        ".. +",
143        ". ++",
144        " ++.",
145        "++.."};
146
147       You'll need to change the array declaration format, and change the
148       double-quoted strings to single-quoted to avoid Perl interpreting any
149       chars in the strings as special.

475
476       Save $pixbuf to a file named $filename, in the format $type, which is
477       currently "jpeg" or "png".  The function will croak if there is an
478       error, which may arise from file- or image format-related issues.
479
480       Any values in ... should be key/value string pairs that modify the
481       saving parameters.  For example:
482
483        $pixbuf->save ($filename, 'jpeg', quality => '100');
484
485       Currently only a few parameters exist.  JPEG images can be saved with a
486       "quality" parameter; its value should be in the range [0,100].  Text
487       chunks can be attached to PNG images by specifying parameters of the
488       form "tEXt::key", where key is an ASCII string of length 1-79.  The
489       values are UTF-8 encoded strings.  (This is a quote from the C API
490       reference; note that the C API reference is the canonical source for
491       this information.)

493       May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.

499
500       Save $pixbuf to a scalar buffer, in the format $type, which is
501       currently "jpeg" or "png".  The function will croak if there is an
502       error, which may arise from image format-related issues.
503
504       The returned string contains binary data, which may have embedded nuls.
505       Don't try to "print" it.
