Constructor
GdkPixbufPixbufLoadernew_with_type
Declaration [src]
GdkPixbufLoader*
gdk_pixbuf_loader_new_with_type (
const char* image_type,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Creates a new pixbuf loader object that always attempts to parse
image data as if it were an image of type image_type, instead of
identifying the type automatically.
This function is useful if you want an error if the image isn’t the expected type; for loading image formats that can’t be reliably identified by looking at the data; or if the user manually forces a specific type.
The list of supported image formats depends on what image loaders
are installed, but typically “png”, “jpeg”, “gif”, “tiff” and
“xpm” are among the supported formats. To obtain the full list of
supported image formats, call gdk_pixbuf_format_get_name() on each
of the GdkPixbufFormat structs returned by gdk_pixbuf_get_formats().
Parameters
image_type-
Type:
const char*Name of the image format to be loaded with the image.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. error-
Type:
GError **The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the constructor if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
Return value
Type: GdkPixbufLoader
A newly-created pixbuf loader.
| The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
