Description

Details

ModuleFillVtableFunc ()

void        (*ModuleFillVtableFunc)         (GdkPixbufModule *module);

Defines the type of the function used to set the vtable of a GdkPixbufModule when it is loaded.

module :a GdkPixbufModule.


ModulePreparedNotifyFunc ()

void        (*ModulePreparedNotifyFunc)     (GdkPixbuf *pixbuf,
                                             GdkPixbufAnimation *anim,
                                             gpointer user_data);

Defines the type of the function that gets called once the initial setup of pixbuf is done.

GdkPixbufLoader uses a function of this type to emit the "area_prepared" signal.

pixbuf :the GdkPixbuf that is currently being loaded.
anim :if an animation is being loaded, the GdkPixbufAnimation, else NULL.
user_data :the loader.


ModuleUpdatedNotifyFunc ()

void        (*ModuleUpdatedNotifyFunc)      (GdkPixbuf *pixbuf,
                                             int x,
                                             int y,
                                             int width,
                                             int height,
                                             gpointer user_data);

Defines the type of the function that gets called every time a region of pixbuf is updated.

GdkPixbufLoader uses a function of this type to emit the "area_updated" signal.

pixbuf :the GdkPixbuf that is currently being loaded.
x :the X origin of the updated area.
y :the Y origin of the updated area.
width :the width of the updated area.
height :the height of the updated area.
user_data :the loader.

A GdkPixbufModule contains the necessary functions to load and save images in a certain file format.

A GdkPixbufModule can be loaded dynamically from a GModule. Each loadable module must contain a ModuleFillVtableFunc function named gdk_pixbuf__module_name_fill_vtable. It will get called when the module is loaded and must set the function pointers of the GdkPixbufModule.

char *module_namethe name of the module, usually the same as the usual file extension for images of this type, eg. "xpm", "jpeg" or "png".
gboolean (*format_check) (guchar *buffer, int size)checks if the given data is the beginning of a valid image in the format supported by the module.
GModule *modulethe loaded GModule.
GdkPixbuf* (*load) (FILE *f, GError **error)loads an image from a file.
GdkPixbuf* (*load_xpm_data) (const char **data)loads an image from data in memory.
gpointer (*begin_load) (ModulePreparedNotifyFunc prepare_func, ModuleUpdatedNotifyFunc update_func, gpointer user_data, GError **error)begins an incremental load.
gboolean (*stop_load) (gpointer context, GError **error)stops an incremental load.
gboolean (*load_increment) (gpointer context, const guchar *buf, guint size, GError **error)continues an incremental load.
GdkPixbufAnimation* (*load_animation) (FILE *f, GError **error)loads an animation from a file.
gboolean (*save) (FILE *f, GdkPixbuf *pixbuf, gchar **param_keys, gchar **param_values, GError **error)saves a GdkPixbuf to a file.
