GI.Gtk.Objects.Image

The Image widget displays an image. Various kinds of object can be displayed as an image; most typically, you would load a Texture from a file, and then display that. There’s a convenience function to do this, imageNewFromFile, used as follows:

C code

 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 textureNewFromFile, then create the Image with imageNewFromPaintable.

Sometimes an application will want to avoid depending on external data files, such as image files. See the documentation of Resource for details. In this case, the Image:resource, imageNewFromResource and imageSetFromResource should be used.

GtkImage displays its image as an icon, with a size that is determined by the application. See Picture if you want to show an image at is actual size.

CSS nodes

GtkImage has a single CSS node with the name image. The style classes .normal-icons or .large-icons may appear, depending on the Image:icon-size property.

Accessibility

GtkImage uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_IMG role.

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsImage a)

=> a

image: a Image

-> m ()

Resets the image to be empty.

getGicon

imageGetGicon

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsImage a)

=> a

image: a Image

-> m (Maybe Icon)

Returns: a Icon, or Nothing

Gets the Icon and size being displayed by the Image. The storage type of the image must be ImageTypeEmpty or ImageTypeGicon (see imageGetStorageType). The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned Icon.

Note: This function was changed in 3.94 not to use out parameters anymore, but return the GIcon directly. See imageGetIconSize for a way to get the icon size.

getIconName

imageGetIconName

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsImage a)

=> a

image: a Image

-> m (Maybe Text)

Returns: the icon name, or Nothing

Gets the icon name and size being displayed by the Image. The storage type of the image must be ImageTypeEmpty or ImageTypeIconName (see imageGetStorageType). The returned string is owned by the Image and should not be freed.

Note: This function was changed in 3.94 not to use out parameters anymore, but return the icon name directly. See imageGetIconSize for a way to get the icon size.

getIconSize

imageGetIconSize

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsImage a)

=> a

image: a Image

-> m IconSize

Returns: the image size used by icons

Gets the icon size used by the image when rendering icons.

getPaintable

imageGetPaintable

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsImage a)

=> a

image: a Image

-> m (Maybe Paintable)

Returns: the displayed paintable, or Nothing if the image is empty

Gets the image Paintable being displayed by the Image. The storage type of the image must be ImageTypeEmpty or ImageTypePaintable (see imageGetStorageType). The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned paintable.

getPixelSize

imageGetPixelSize

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsImage a)

=> a

image: a Image

-> m Int32

Returns: the pixel size used for named icons.

Gets the pixel size used for named icons.

getStorageType

imageGetStorageType

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsImage a)

=> a

image: a Image

-> m ImageType

Returns: image representation being used

Gets the type of representation being used by the Image to store image data. If the Image has no image data, the return value will be ImageTypeEmpty.

new

imageNew

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> m Image

Returns: a newly created Image widget.

Creates a new empty Image widget.

newFromFile

imageNewFromFile

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> [Char]

filename: a filename

-> m Image

Returns: a new Image

Creates a new Image displaying the file filename. If the file isn’t found or can’t be loaded, the resulting Image will display a “broken image” icon. This function never returns Nothing, it always returns a valid Image widget.

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use textureNewFromFile to load the file yourself, then create the Image from the texture.

The storage type (imageGetStorageType) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.

newFromGicon

imageNewFromGicon

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsIcon a)

=> a

icon: an icon

-> m Image

Returns: a new Image displaying the themed icon

Creates a 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.

Note: Before 3.94, this function was taking an extra icon size argument. See imageSetIconSize for another way to set the icon size.

newFromIconName

imageNewFromIconName

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> Maybe Text

iconName: an icon name or Nothing

-> m Image

Returns: a new Image displaying the themed icon

Creates a 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.

Note: Before 3.94, this function was taking an extra icon size argument. See imageSetIconSize for another way to set the icon size.

newFromPaintable

imageNewFromPaintable

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPaintable a)

=> Maybe a

paintable: a Paintable, or Nothing

-> m Image

Returns: a new Image

Creates a new Image displaying paintable. The Image does not assume a reference to the paintable; you still need to unref it if you own references. Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours.

The Image will track changes to the paintable and update its size and contents in response to it.

imageNewFromPixbuf

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsPixbuf a)

=> Maybe a

pixbuf: a Pixbuf, or Nothing

-> m Image

Returns: a new Image

This is a helper for imageNewFromPaintable, and you can't get back the exact pixbuf once this is called, only a texture.

Note that this function just creates an Image from the pixbuf. The Image created will not react to state changes. Should you want that, you should use imageNewFromIconName.

newFromResource

imageNewFromResource

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m)

=> Text

resourcePath: a resource path

-> m Image

Returns: a new Image

Creates a new Image displaying the resource file resourcePath. If the file isn’t found or can’t be loaded, the resulting Image will display a “broken image” icon. This function never returns Nothing, it always returns a valid Image widget.

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use pixbufNewFromFile to load the file yourself, then create the Image from the pixbuf.

The storage type (imageGetStorageType) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.
