2000-01-01  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@helixcode.com>

	* gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h (GdkPixbufAnimation): Added reference
	counting to animations.  A web browser may want to share a single
	copy of an animated GIF if it appears multiple times in a web
	page, for example.

	* gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-animation.c: New file.  Moved the
	animation functions here.
	(gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_file): Prettified.  Return a NULL
	animation if the loader does not support multiframe loading and
	the single-frame load returned NULL.  Check that the filename is
	not NULL.  Updated inline documentation.
	(gdk_pixbuf_animation_ref): New function.
	(gdk_pixbuf_animation_unref): New function.
	Removed gdk_pixbuf_animation_destroy() in favor of reference
	counting.

	* gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-io.c (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file):
	Prettified.  Made ref_count assertion more paranoid.  Check that
	the filename is not NULL.
	(gdk_pixbuf_get_module): Use guchar * and guint for buffer and
	size, respectively.
	(gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data): Changed the "data" argument to
	const char **.

	* gdk-pixbuf/io-gif.c (image_load_animation): Create the animation
	with a reference count of 1.

	* gdk-pixbuf/Makefile.am (libgdk_pixbuf_la_SOURCES): Added
	gdk-pixbuf-animation.c.

	* doc/tmpl/animation.sgml: Populated.  It is still missing a
	description of the overlay modes.

	* doc/gdk-pixbuf-sections.txt: Added the animation section.  Moved
	the canvas item section to the end, as it will be moved later to
	gnome-libs.

	* doc/gdk-pixbuf.sgml: Added the animation section.

	* doc/Makefile.am (tmpl_sources): Added tmpl/animation.sgml.

Application-driven image loading.

<para>
#GdkPixbufLoader provides a way for applications to drive the
process of loading an image. Applications can use this
functionality instead of gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() when they need
to parse image data in small chunks, such as when reading it from
a network connection.

<!-- ##### SIGNAL GdkPixbufLoader::area-updated ##### -->
<para>
This signal is emitted when a significant area of the image being
loaded has been updated. Normally it means that a complete
scanline has been read in, but it could be a different area as
well. Applications can use this signal to know when to repaint
areas of an image that is being loaded.

@gdkpixbufloader: the object which received the signal.

@arg4:
<!-- # Unused Parameters # -->
@loader: Loader which emitted the signal.
@x: X offset of upper-left corner of the updated area.
@y: Y offset of upper-left corner of the updated area.
@width: Width of updated area.
@height: Height of updated area.
<!-- ##### SIGNAL GdkPixbufLoader::area-prepared ##### -->
<para>
This signal is emitted when the pixbuf loader has been fed the
initial amount of data that is required to figure out the size and
format of the image that it will create. After this signal is
emitted, applications can call gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_pixbuf() to
fetch the partially-loaded pixbuf.
</para>
@gdkpixbufloader: the object which received the signal.
<!-- # Unused Parameters # -->
@loader: Loader which emitted the signal.
<!-- ##### SIGNAL GdkPixbufLoader::closed ##### -->
<para>
This signal is emitted when gdk_pixbuf_loader_close() is called.
It can be used by different parts of an application to receive
notification when an image loader is closed by the code that
drives it.
</para>
@gdkpixbufloader: the object which received the signal.
<!-- # Unused Parameters # -->
@loader: Loader which emitted the signal.
