Method

GdkPixbufPixbufread_pixel_bytes

since: 2.32

Declaration [src]

GBytes*
gdk_pixbuf_read_pixel_bytes (
  const GdkPixbuf* pixbuf
)

Description [src]

Provides a GBytes buffer containing the raw pixel data; the data must not be modified.

This function allows skipping the implicit copy that must be made if gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels() is called on a read-only pixbuf.

Available since: 2.32

Return value

Type: GBytes

A new reference to a read-only copy of the pixel data. Note that for mutable pixbufs, this function will incur a one-time copy of the pixel data for conversion into the returned GBytes.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
