2000-10-18  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

	* gtk/gtk-sections.txt: Some updates

	* gdk/gdk-sections.txt: remove GdkPixbufAlphaMode

	* gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-sections.txt: Add new API, remove
	GdkPixbufClass/GdkAnimationClass since those are private

	* gdk-pixbuf/Makefile.am (IGNORE_HFILES): ignore more headers

2000-10-18  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

	* gtk/gtktextiter.c (gtk_text_iter_forward_to_newline): Fix a bug
	where any number of empty lines would get skipped

	* gtk/gtktextiter.h: Remove padding from GtkTextIter; live on the
	edge.

	* gtk/gtktextiter.c (gtk_text_iter_make_surreal): enhance the
	warning about invalid iterators (explain more thoroughly)
	(gtk_text_iter_in_region): rename gtk_text_iter_in_range

	* gtk/gtktextview.c (FOCUS_EDGE_WIDTH): Make focus rectangle less
	big

	* demos/*.c: Add error handling

	* gtk/gtktextbuffer.c: don't modify const iterators

	* gtk/gdk-pixbuf-loader.c: Add full error handling here

	* gtk/gtkimage.c (gtk_image_set_from_file): ignore errors
	on file load

	* gtk/gtkiconfactory.c: Update to reflect addition of error
	handling to gdk-pixbuf loaders

2000-10-16  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

	* gdk-pixbuf-io.c (gdk_pixbuf_get_module)
	(gdk_pixbuf_get_named_module) (gdk_pixbuf_load_module):
	add error reporting here also

	* make-inline-pixbuf.c (main): use GError

	* io-xpm.c: include unistd.h

	* gdk-pixbuf-util.c: include string.h

	* io-*.c: add error reporting

	* gdk-pixbuf-animation.c (gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_file): add
	error reporting

	* gdk-pixbuf-io.c (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): Add error reporting

	* gdk-pixbuf-io.h: Add GError** to load_increment and load
	methods

	* gdk-pixbuf-io.c (gdk_pixbuf_save) (gdk_pixbuf_savev): return
	a G_FILE_ERROR if we fail to write or close the file.

	* gdk-pixbuf.h: remove GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR_IO, instead we'll use
	G_FILE_ERROR_*. Rename enum to GdkPixbufError, properly following
	the GError naming rules. Add GError** to load functions.

Creating a pixbuf from image data that is already in memory.
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The most basic way to create a pixbuf is to wrap an existing pixel
buffer with a #GdkPixbuf structure. You can use the
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data() function to do this You need to specify
the destroy notification function that will be called when the
data buffer needs to be freed; this will happen when a #GdkPixbuf
is finalized by the reference counting functions If you have a
chunk of static data compiled into your application, you can pass
in #NULL as the destroy notification function so that the data
will not be freed.
</para>
<para>
The gdk_pixbuf_new() function can be used as a convenience to
create a pixbuf with an empty buffer. This is equivalent to
allocating a data buffer using malloc() and then wrapping it with
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data(). The gdk_pixbuf_new() function will
compute an optimal rowstride so that rendering can be performed
with an efficient algorithm.
</para>
<para>
As a special case, you can use the gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data()
function to create a pixbuf from inline XPM image data.
</para>
<para>
You can also copy an existing pixbuf with the gdk_pixbuf_copy()
function. This is not the same as just doing a gdk_pixbuf_ref()
on the old pixbuf; the copy function will actually duplicate the
pixel data in memory and create a new #GdkPixbuf structure for it.
