Description

The Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image widget displays an image. Various kinds of object can be displayed as an image; most typically, you would load a Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_Pixbuf ("pixel buffer") from a file, and then display that. There's a convenience function to do this, Gtk.Image.Gtk_New, used as follows:

GtkWidget *image;
image = gtk_image_new_from_file ("myfile.png");

If the file isn't loaded successfully, the image will contain a "broken image" icon similar to that used in many web browsers. If you want to handle errors in loading the file yourself, for example by displaying an error message, then load the image with Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_New_From_File, then create the Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image with Gtk.Image.Gtk_New.

The image file may contain an animation, if so the Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image will display an animation (Gdk_Pixbuf_Animation) instead of a static image.

Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image is a subclass of Gtk.Misc.Gtk_Misc, which implies that you can align it (center, left, right) and add padding to it, using Gtk.Misc.Gtk_Misc methods.

Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image is a "no window" widget (has no Gdk.Gdk_Window of its own), so by default does not receive events. If you want to receive events on the image, such as button clicks, place the image inside a Gtk.Event_Box.Gtk_Event_Box, then connect to the event signals on the event box.

## Handling button press events on a Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image.

static gboolean
button_press_callback (GtkWidget      *event_box,
                       GdkEventButton *event,
                       gpointer        data)
{
  g_print ("Event box clicked at coordinates %f,%f\n",
           event->x, event->y);

  // Returning TRUE means we handled the event, so the signal
  // emission should be stopped (don't call any further callbacks
  // that may be connected). Return FALSE to continue invoking callbacks.
  return TRUE;
}

static GtkWidget*
create_image (void)
{
  GtkWidget *image;
  GtkWidget *event_box;

  image = gtk_image_new_from_file ("myfile.png");

  event_box = gtk_event_box_new ();

  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (event_box), image);

  g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (event_box),
                    "button_press_event",
                    G_CALLBACK (button_press_callback),
                    image);

  return image;
}

When handling events on the event box, keep in mind that coordinates in the image may be different from event box coordinates due to the alignment and padding settings on the image (see Gtk.Misc.Gtk_Misc). The simplest way to solve this is to set the alignment to 0.0 (left/top), and set the padding to zero. Then the origin of the image will be the same as the origin of the event box.

Sometimes an application will want to avoid depending on external data files, such as image files. GTK+ comes with a program to avoid this, called "gdk-pixbuf-csource". This library allows you to convert an image into a C variable declaration, which can then be loaded into a Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_Pixbuf using gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline.

# CSS nodes

GtkImage has a single CSS node with the name image. The style classes may appear on image CSS nodes: .icon-dropshadow, .lowres-icon.

   (Animation : Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_Pixbuf_Animation) return Gtk_Image

Creates a Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image displaying the given animation. The Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image does not assume a reference to the animation; you still need to unref it if you own references. Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours. Note that the animation frames are shown using a timeout with G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT. When using animations to indicate busyness, keep in mind that the animation will only be shown if the main loop is not busy with something that has a higher priority.

This function never returns null, it always returns a valid Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image widget. If the file contains an animation, the image will contain an animation. If you need to detect failures to load the file, use Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_New_From_File to load the file yourself, then create the Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image from the pixbuf. (Or for animations, use Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_New_From_File). The storage type (gtk_image_get_storage_type) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.

    Size     : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Icon_Size) return Gtk_Image

Creates a Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image displaying an icon set. Sample stock sizes are GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU, GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR. Instead of using this function, usually it's better to create a Gtk.Icon_Factory.Gtk_Icon_Factory, put your icon sets in the icon factory, add the icon factory to the list of default factories with Gtk.Icon_Factory.Add_Default, and then use Gtk.Image.Gtk_New. This will allow themes to override the icon you ship with your application. The Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image does not assume a reference to the icon set; you still need to unref it if you own references. Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours.

Parameters

Return Value

Gtk_Image_New_From_Pixbuf

function Gtk_Image_New_From_Pixbuf
   (Pixbuf : access Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_Pixbuf_Record'Class) return Gtk_Image

Creates a new Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image displaying Pixbuf. The Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image does not assume a reference to the pixbuf; you still need to unref it if you own references. Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours. Note that this function just creates an Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image from the pixbuf. The Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image created will not react to state changes. Should you want that, you should use Gtk.Image.Gtk_New_From_Icon_Name.

This function never returns null, it always returns a valid Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image widget. If the file contains an animation, the image will contain an animation. If you need to detect failures to load the file, use Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_New_From_File to load the file yourself, then create the Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image from the pixbuf. (Or for animations, use Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_New_From_File). The storage type (gtk_image_get_storage_type) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file. Since: gtk+ 3.4

function Gtk_Image_New_From_Surface
   (Surface : Cairo.Cairo_Surface) return Gtk_Image

Creates a new Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image displaying Surface. The Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image does not assume a reference to the surface; you still need to unref it if you own references. Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours. Since: gtk+ 3.10

Parameters
Surface

a cairo_surface_t, or null

Return Value

Gtk_Image_Record

type Gtk_Image_Record is new Gtk_Misc_Record with null record;

Gtk_Image_Type

type Gtk_Image_Type is (
   Image_Empty,
   Image_Pixbuf,
   Image_Stock,
   Image_Icon_Set,
   Image_Animation,
   Image_Icon_Name,
   Image_Gicon,
   Image_Surface);

Describes the image data representation used by a Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image. If you want to get the image from the widget, you can only get the currently-stored representation. e.g. if the Gtk.Image.Get_Storage_Type returns GTK_IMAGE_PIXBUF, then you can call Gtk.Image.Get but not Get. For empty images, you can request any storage type (call any of the "get" functions), but they will all return null values.

If the current icon theme is changed, the icon will be updated appropriately. Since: gtk+ 2.14 Initialize_From_Gicon does nothing if the object was already created with another call to Initialize* or G_New.

Parameters
Image
Icon

an icon

Size

a stock icon size (Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Icon_Size)

Initialize_From_Icon_Name

procedure Initialize_From_Icon_Name
   (Image     : not null access Gtk_Image_Record'Class;
    Icon_Name : UTF8_String := "";
    Size      : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Icon_Size)

Creates a Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image displaying an icon from the current icon theme. If the icon name isn't known, a "broken image" icon will be displayed instead. If the current icon theme is changed, the icon will be updated appropriately. Since: gtk+ 2.6 Initialize_From_Icon_Name does nothing if the object was already created with another call to Initialize* or G_New.

Parameters
Image
Icon_Name

an icon name or null

Size

a stock icon size (Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Icon_Size)

Initialize_From_Resource

procedure Initialize_From_Resource
   (Image         : not null access Gtk_Image_Record'Class;
    Resource_Path : UTF8_String)

Creates a new Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image displaying the resource file Resource_Path. If the file isn't found or can't be loaded, the resulting Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image will display a "broken image" icon. This function never returns null, it always returns a valid Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image widget. If the file contains an animation, the image will contain an animation. If you need to detect failures to load the file, use Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_New_From_File to load the file yourself, then create the Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image from the pixbuf. (Or for animations, use Gdk.Pixbuf.Gdk_New_From_File). The storage type (gtk_image_get_storage_type) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file. Since: gtk+ 3.4 Initialize_From_Resource does nothing if the object was already created with another call to Initialize* or G_New.

Parameters
Image
Resource_Path

a resource path

Initialize_From_Surface

procedure Initialize_From_Surface
   (Image   : not null access Gtk_Image_Record'Class;
    Surface : Cairo.Cairo_Surface)

Creates a new Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image displaying Surface. The Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image does not assume a reference to the surface; you still need to unref it if you own references. Gtk.Image.Gtk_Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours. Since: gtk+ 3.10 Initialize_From_Surface does nothing if the object was already created with another call to Initialize* or G_New.

Parameters
Image
Surface

a cairo_surface_t, or null
