GI.Gdk.Objects.Texture

GdkTexture is the basic element used to refer to pixel data.

It is primarily meant for pixel data that will not change over multiple frames, and will be used for a long time.

There are various ways to create GdkTexture objects from a GdkPixbuf, or a Cairo surface, or other pixel data.

The ownership of the pixel data is transferred to the GdkTexture instance; you can only make a copy of it, via textureDownload.

GdkTexture is an immutable object: That means you cannot change anything about it other than increasing the reference count via objectRef.

download

textureDownload

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTexture a)

=> a

texture: a GdkTexture

-> Ptr Word8

data: pointer to enough memory to be filled with the downloaded data of texture

-> Word64

stride: rowstride in bytes

-> m ()

Downloads the texture into local memory.

This may be an expensive operation, as the actual texture data may reside on a GPU or on a remote display server.

The data format of the downloaded data is equivalent to FormatArgb32, so every downloaded pixel requires 4 bytes of memory.

Downloading a texture into a Cairo image surface:

c code

surface = cairo_image_surface_create (CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32,
                                      gdk_texture_get_width (texture),
                                      gdk_texture_get_height (texture));
gdk_texture_download (texture,
                      cairo_image_surface_get_data (surface),
                      cairo_image_surface_get_stride (surface));
cairo_surface_mark_dirty (surface);

getHeight

textureGetHeight

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTexture a)

=> a

texture: a GdkTexture

-> m Int32

Returns: the height of the GdkTexture

Returns the height of the texture, in pixels.

getWidth

textureGetWidth

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTexture a)

=> a

texture: a GdkTexture

-> m Int32

Returns: the width of the GdkTexture

Returns the width of texture, in pixels.

newForPixbuf

textureNewForPixbuf

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> a

pixbuf: a GdkPixbuf

-> m Texture

Returns: a new GdkTexture

Creates a new texture object representing the GdkPixbuf.

newFromFile

textureNewFromFile

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsFile a)

=> a

file: GFile to load

-> m Texture

Returns: A newly-created GdkTexture (Can throw GError)

Creates a new texture by loading an image from a file.

The file format is detected automatically. The supported formats are PNG and JPEG, though more formats might be available.

If Nothing is returned, then error will be set.

newFromResource

textureNewFromResource

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> Text

resourcePath: the path of the resource file

-> m Texture

Returns: A newly-created GdkTexture

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

The file format is detected automatically. The supported formats are PNG and JPEG, though more formats might be available.

It is a fatal error if resourcePath does not specify a valid image resource and the program will abort if that happens. If you are unsure about the validity of a resource, use textureNewFromFile to load it.

saveToPng

textureSaveToPng

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTexture a)

=> a

texture: a GdkTexture

-> [Char]

filename: the filename to store to

-> m Bool

Returns: True if saving succeeded, False on failure.

Store the given texture to the filename as a PNG file.

This is a utility function intended for debugging and testing. If you want more control over formats, proper error handling or want to store to a GFile or other location, you might want to look into using the gdk-pixbuf library.

Properties

height

The height of the texture, in pixels.

constructTextureHeight :: (IsTexture o, MonadIO m) => Int32 -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Construct a GValueConstruct with valid value for the “height” property. This is rarely needed directly, but it is used by new.

getTextureHeight :: (MonadIO m, IsTexture o) => o -> m Int32

Get the value of the “height” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get texture #height

width

The width of the texture, in pixels.

constructTextureWidth :: (IsTexture o, MonadIO m) => Int32 -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Construct a GValueConstruct with valid value for the “width” property. This is rarely needed directly, but it is used by new.

getTextureWidth :: (MonadIO m, IsTexture o) => o -> m Int32

Get the value of the “width” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get texture #width
