<para>
|
|
The #GdkImage type represents an area for drawing graphics.
|
|
It has now been superceded to a large extent by the much more flexible
|
|
<link linkend="gdk-GdkRGB">GdkRGB</link> functions.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To create an empty #GdkImage use gdk_image_new().
|
|
To create a #GdkImage from bitmap data use gdk_image_new_bitmap().
|
|
To create an image from part of a #GdkWindow use gdk_image_get().
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The image can be manipulated with gdk_image_get_pixel() and
|
|
gdk_image_put_pixel(), or alternatively by changing the actual pixel data.
|
|
Though manipulating the pixel data requires complicated code to cope with
|
|
the different formats that may be used.

<para>

To draw a #GdkImage in a #GdkWindow or #GdkPixmap use gdk_draw_image().

To destroy a #GdkImage use gdk_image_destroy().

Graphics which are stored on the X Windows server.
|
|
Since these are stored on the server they can be drawn very quickly, and all
|
|
of the <link linkend="gdk-Drawing-Primitives">Drawing Primitives</link> can be
|
|
used to draw on them. Their main disadvantage is that manipulating individual
|
|
pixels can be very slow.

Built on top of #GdkImage, this provides much more functionality,

including the dithering of colors to produce better output on low-color

displays.

<!-- ##### STRUCT GdkImage ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
The #GdkImage struct contains information on the image and the pixel data.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
@parent_instance:
|
|
@type: the type of the image.
|
|
@visual: the visual.
|
|
@byte_order: the byte order.
|
|
@width: the width of the image in pixels.
|
|
@height: the height of the image in pixels.
|
|
@depth: the depth of the image, i.e. the number of bits per pixel.
|
|
@bpp: the number of bytes per pixel.
|
|
@bpl: the number of bytes per line of the image.
|
|
@bits_per_pixel:
|
|
@mem: the pixel data.

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_image_new ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
Creates a new #GdkImage.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
@type: the type of the #GdkImage, one of %GDK_IMAGE_NORMAL, %GDK_IMAGE_SHARED
|
|
and %GDK_IMAGE_FASTEST. %GDK_IMAGE_FASTEST is probably the best choice, since
|
|
it will try creating a %GDK_IMAGE_SHARED image first and if that fails it will
|
|
then use %GDK_IMAGE_NORMAL.
|
|
@visual: the #GdkVisual to use for the image.
|
|
@width: the width of the image in pixels.
|
|
@height: the height of the image in pixels.
|
|
@Returns: a new #GdkImage, or NULL if the image could not be created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### ENUM GdkImageType ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
Specifies the type of a #GdkImage.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
@GDK_IMAGE_NORMAL: The original X image type, which is quite slow since the
|
|
image has to be transferred from the client to the server to display it.
|
|
@GDK_IMAGE_SHARED: A faster image type, which uses shared memory to transfer
|
|
the image data between client and server. However this will only be available
|
|
if client and server are on the same machine and the shared memory extension
|
|
is supported by the server.
|
|
@GDK_IMAGE_FASTEST: Specifies that %GDK_IMAGE_SHARED should be tried first,
|
|
and if that fails then %GDK_IMAGE_NORMAL will be used.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_image_new_bitmap ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
Creates a new #GdkImage with a depth of 1 from the given data.

@visual: the #GdkVisual to use for the image.
|
|
@data: the pixel data.
|
|
@width: the width of the image in pixels.
|
|
@height: the height of the image in pixels.
|
|
@Returns: a new #GdkImage.

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_image_get ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
Gets part of a #GdkWindow and stores it in a new #GdkImage.

|
|
|
|
@drawable:
|
|
@x: the left edge of the rectangle to copy from @window.
|

|
|
@width: the width of the area to copy, in pixels.
|
|
