Class

GtkImage

Description [src]

final class Gtk.Image : Gtk.Widget
  implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
  /* No available fields */
}

The GtkImage widget displays an image.

An example GtkImage

Various kinds of object can be displayed as an image; most typically, you would load a GdkTexture from a file, using the convenience function gtk_image_new_from_file(), for instance:

GtkWidget *image = gtk_image_new_from_file ("myfile.png");

If the file isn’t loaded successfully, the image will contain a “broken image” icon similar to that used in many web browsers.

If you want to handle errors in loading the file yourself, for example by displaying an error message, then load the image with gdk_texture_new_from_file(), then create the GtkImage with gtk_image_new_from_paintable().

Sometimes an application will want to avoid depending on external data files, such as image files. See the documentation of GResource inside GIO, for details. In this case, GtkImage:resource, gtk_image_new_from_resource(), and gtk_image_set_from_resource() should be used.

GtkImage displays its image as an icon, with a size that is determined by the application. See GtkPicture if you want to show an image at is actual size.

CSS nodes

GtkImage has a single CSS node with the name image. The style classes .normal-icons or .large-icons may appear, depending on the GtkImage:icon-size property.

Accessibility

GtkImage uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_IMG role.
