GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_inline
Declaration [src]
GdkPixbuf*
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline (
  gint data_length,
  const guint8* data,
  gboolean copy_pixels,
  GError** error
)
Description [src]
Creates a GdkPixbuf from a flat representation that is suitable for
storing as inline data in a program.
This is useful if you want to ship a program with images, but don’t want to depend on any external files.
GdkPixbuf ships with a program called gdk-pixbuf-csource, which allows
for conversion of GdkPixbufs into such a inline representation.
In almost all cases, you should pass the --raw option to
gdk-pixbuf-csource. A sample invocation would be:
gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --name=myimage_inline myimage.png
For the typical case where the inline pixbuf is read-only static data,
you don’t need to copy the pixel data unless you intend to write to
it, so you can pass FALSE for copy_pixels. If you pass --rle to
gdk-pixbuf-csource, a copy will be made even if copy_pixels is FALSE,
so using this option is generally a bad idea.
If you create a pixbuf from const inline data compiled into your program, it’s probably safe to ignore errors and disable length checks, since things will always succeed:
pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline (-1, myimage_inline, FALSE, NULL);
For non-const inline data, you could get out of memory. For untrusted inline data located at runtime, you could have corrupt inline data in addition.
