class Gtk::Image

Overview

The Gtk::Image widget displays an image.

An example Gtk::Image

Various kinds of object can be displayed as an image; most typically, you would load a Gdk::Texture from a file, using the convenience function Gtk::Image#new_from_file, for instance:

WARNING ⚠️ The following code is in c ⚠️

Gtk::Widget *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 Gtk::Image 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, Gtk::Image#resource, Gtk::Image#new_from_resource, and Gtk::Image#from_resource= should be used.

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

CSS nodes

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

Accessibility

Gtk::Image uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_IMG role.

Constructor Detail

def self.new : self #

Creates a new empty Gtk::Image widget.

def self.new_from_file(filename : String) : self #

Creates a new Gtk::Image displaying the file @filename.

If the file isn’t found or can’t be loaded, the resulting Gtk::Image will display a “broken image” icon. This function never returns nil, it always returns a valid Gtk::Image widget.

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use Gdk::Texture#new_from_file to load the file yourself, then create the Gtk::Image from the texture.

The storage type (see Gtk::Image#storage_type) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.


def self.new_from_gicon(icon : Gio::Icon) : self #

Creates a Gtk::Image displaying an icon from the current icon theme.

If the icon name isn’t known, a “broken image” icon will be displayed instead. If the current icon theme is changed, the icon will be updated appropriately.


def self.new_from_icon_name(icon_name : String?) : self #

Creates a Gtk::Image displaying an icon from the current icon theme.

If the icon name isn’t known, a “broken image” icon will be displayed instead. If the current icon theme is changed, the icon will be updated appropriately.


def self.new_from_paintable(paintable : Gdk::Paintable?) : self #

Creates a new Gtk::Image displaying @paintable.

The Gtk::Image does not assume a reference to the paintable; you still need to unref it if you own references. Gtk::Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours.

The Gtk::Image will track changes to the @paintable and update its size and contents in response to it.


def self.new_from_pixbuf(pixbuf : GdkPixbuf::Pixbuf?) : self #

Creates a new Gtk::Image displaying @pixbuf.

The Gtk::Image does not assume a reference to the pixbuf; you still need to unref it if you own references. Gtk::Image will add its own reference rather than adopting yours.

This is a helper for Gtk::Image#new_from_paintable, and you can't get back the exact pixbuf once this is called, only a texture.

Note that this function just creates an Gtk::Image from the pixbuf. The Gtk::Image created will not react to state changes. Should you want that, you should use Gtk::Image#new_from_icon_name.


def self.new_from_resource(resource_path : String) : self #

Creates a new Gtk::Image displaying the resource file @resource_path.

If the file isn’t found or can’t be loaded, the resulting Gtk::Image will display a “broken image” icon. This function never returns nil, it always returns a valid Gtk::Image widget.

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use Gdk::Pixbuf::Pixbuf#new_from_file to load the file yourself, then create the Gtk::Image from the pixbuf.

The storage type (see Gtk::Image#storage_type) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.


Class Method Detail

def self.g_type : UInt64 #

Returns the type id (GType) registered in GLib type system.


Instance Method Detail

def clear : Nil #

Resets the image to be empty.


def file : String #

def file=(value : String) : String #

def from_file=(filename : String?) : Nil #

Sets a Gtk::Image to show a file.

See Gtk::Image#new_from_file for details.


def from_gicon=(icon : Gio::Icon) : Nil #

Sets a Gtk::Image to show a GIcon.

See Gtk::Image#new_from_gicon for details.


def from_icon_name=(icon_name : String?) : Nil #

Sets a Gtk::Image to show a named icon.

See Gtk::Image#new_from_icon_name for details.


def from_paintable=(paintable : Gdk::Paintable?) : Nil #

Sets a Gtk::Image to show a Gdk::Paintable.

See Gtk::Image#new_from_paintable for details.


def from_pixbuf=(pixbuf : GdkPixbuf::Pixbuf?) : Nil #

Sets a Gtk::Image to show a Gdk::Pixbuf.

See Gtk::Image#new_from_pixbuf for details.

Note: This is a helper for Gtk::Image#from_paintable=, and you can't get back the exact pixbuf once this is called, only a paintable.


def from_resource=(resource_path : String?) : Nil #

Sets a Gtk::Image to show a resource.

See Gtk::Image#new_from_resource for details.


def gicon : Gio::Icon? #

Gets the GIcon being displayed by the Gtk::Image.

The storage type of the image must be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY or %GTK_IMAGE_GICON (see Gtk::Image#storage_type). The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned GIcon.


def gicon=(value : Gio::Icon?) : Gio::Icon? #

def icon_name : String? #

Gets the icon name and size being displayed by the Gtk::Image.

The storage type of the image must be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY or %GTK_IMAGE_ICON_NAME (see Gtk::Image#storage_type). The returned string is owned by the Gtk::Image and should not be freed.


def icon_name=(value : String) : String #

def icon_size : Gtk::IconSize #

Gets the icon size used by the @image when rendering icons.


def icon_size=(icon_size : Gtk::IconSize) : Nil #

Suggests an icon size to the theme for named icons.


def paintable : Gdk::Paintable? #

Gets the image Gdk::Paintable being displayed by the Gtk::Image.

The storage type of the image must be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY or %GTK_IMAGE_PAINTABLE (see Gtk::Image#storage_type). The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned paintable.


def paintable=(value : Gdk::Paintable?) : Gdk::Paintable? #

def pixel_size : Int32 #

Gets the pixel size used for named icons.


def pixel_size=(pixel_size : Int32) : Nil #

Sets the pixel size to use for named icons.

If the pixel size is set to a value != -1, it is used instead of the icon size set by Gtk::Image#from_icon_name=.


def resource : String #

def resource=(value : String) : String #

def storage_type : Gtk::ImageType #

Gets the type of representation being used by the Gtk::Image to store image data.

If the Gtk::Image has no image data, the return value will be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY.


def use_fallback=(value : Bool) : Bool #

def use_fallback? : Bool #
