## Detailed Description

The gdk-pixbuf library provides a simple mechanism to load and represent animations.

An animation is conceptually a series of frames to be displayed over time. Each frame is the same size. The animation may not be represented as a series of frames internally; for example, it may be stored as a sprite and instructions for moving the sprite around a background. To display an animation you don't need to understand its representation, however; you just ask gdk-pixbuf what should be displayed at a given point in time.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ PixbufAnimation()

Gdk::PixbufAnimation::PixbufAnimation | ( | PixbufAnimation && | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ ~PixbufAnimation()

Gdk::PixbufAnimation::~PixbufAnimation | ( |  | ) |
| override noexcept

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ create_from_file()

static Glib::RefPtr<PixbufAnimation> Gdk::PixbufAnimation::create_from_file | ( | const std::string & | filename | ) |
| static

Creates a new animation by loading it from a file.

The file format is detected automatically.

If the file's format does not support multi-frame images, then an animation with a single frame will be created.

Possible errors are in the `GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR` and `G_FILE_ERROR` domains.

Parameters

  filename | Name of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding.

Returns
  A newly-created animation.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ create_from_resource()

static Glib::RefPtr<PixbufAnimation> Gdk::PixbufAnimation::create_from_resource | ( | const std::string & | resource_path | ) |
| static

Creates a new pixbuf animation by loading an image from an resource.

The file format is detected automatically. If `nullptr` is returned, then error will be set.

Since gtkmm 4.4:

Parameters

  resource_path | The path of the resource file.

Returns
  A newly-created animation.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ create_from_stream()

static Glib::RefPtr<PixbufAnimation> Gdk::PixbufAnimation::create_from_stream | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::InputStream > & | stream,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > & | cancellable = `{}`
| ) |  |
| static

Creates a new animation by loading it from an input stream.

The file format is detected automatically.

If `nullptr` is returned, then error will be set.

The cancellable can be used to abort the operation from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `Gio::Error::CANCELLED` will be returned. Other possible errors are in the `GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR` and `G_IO_ERROR` domains.

The stream is not closed.

Since gtkmm 4.4:

Parameters

  stream | A `Gio::InputStream` to load the pixbuf from.
  cancellable | Optional `Gio::Cancellable` object.

Returns
  A newly-created animation.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ create_from_stream_async()

static void Gdk::PixbufAnimation::create_from_stream_async | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::InputStream > & | stream,
|  | const Gio::SlotAsyncReady & | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > & | cancellable = `{}`
| ) |  |
| static

Creates a new animation by asynchronously loading an image from an input stream.

For more details see new_from_stream(), which is the synchronous version of this function.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called in the main thread. You can then call new_from_stream_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Since gtkmm 4.4:

Parameters

  stream | A Gio::InputStream from which to load the animation.
  cancellable | Optional Gio::Cancellable object.
  slot | A `SlotAsyncReady` to call when the pixbuf is loaded.

## ◆ create_from_stream_finish()

static Glib::RefPtr<PixbufAnimation> Gdk::PixbufAnimation::create_from_stream_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AsyncResult > & | result | ) |
| static

Finishes an asynchronous pixbuf animation creation operation started with gdk_pixbuf_pixbuf_animation_new_from_stream_async().

Since gtkmm 4.4:

Parameters

  result | A Gio::AsyncResult.

Returns
  The newly created animation.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error |

## ◆ get_height()

int Gdk::PixbufAnimation::get_height | ( |  | ) | const

Queries the height of the bounding box of a pixbuf animation.

Returns
  Height of the bounding box of the animation.

## ◆ get_iter()

Glib::RefPtr<PixbufAnimationIter> Gdk::PixbufAnimation::get_iter | ( | gint64 | start_time = `g_get_real_time()` | ) |

Get an iterator for displaying an animation.

The iterator provides the frames that should be displayed at a given time.

start_time would normally come from g_get_real_time(), and marks the beginning of animation playback. After creating an iterator, you should immediately display the pixbuf returned by Gdk::PixbufAnimationIter::get_pixbuf(). Then, you should install a timeout (with Glib::signal_timeout().connect()) or by some other mechanism ensure that you'll update the image after Gdk::PixbufAnimationIter::get_delay_time() milliseconds. Each time the image is updated, you should reinstall the timeout with the new, possibly-changed delay time.

As a shortcut, the default value of start_time is g_get_real_time().

To update the image (i.e. possibly change the result of Gdk::PixbufAnimationIter::get_pixbuf() to a new frame of the animation), call Gdk::PixbufAnimationIter::advance().

If you're using Gdk::PixbufLoader, in addition to updating the image after the delay time, you should also update it whenever you receive the area_updated signal and Gdk::PixbufAnimationIter::on_currently_loading_frame() returns `true`. In this case, the frame currently being fed into the loader has received new data, so needs to be refreshed. The delay time for a frame may also be modified after an area_updated signal, for example if the delay time for a frame is encoded in the data after the frame itself. So your timeout should be reinstalled after any area_updated signal.

A delay time of -1 is possible, indicating "infinite."

Parameters

  start_time | Time when the animation starts playing.

Returns
  An iterator to move over the animation.

## ◆ get_static_image()

Glib::RefPtr<Pixbuf> Gdk::PixbufAnimation::get_static_image | ( |  | ) |

Retrieves a static image for the animation.

If an animation is really just a plain image (has only one frame), this function returns that image.

If the animation is an animation, this function returns a reasonable image to use as a static unanimated image, which might be the first frame, or something more sophisticated depending on the file format.

If an animation hasn't loaded any frames yet, this function will return `nullptr`.

Returns
  Unanimated image representing the animation.

## ◆ get_type()

static GType Gdk::PixbufAnimation::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

## ◆ get_width()

int Gdk::PixbufAnimation::get_width | ( |  | ) | const

Queries the width of the bounding box of a pixbuf animation.

Returns
  Width of the bounding box of the animation.

## ◆ gobj() [1/2]

GdkPixbufAnimation* Gdk::PixbufAnimation::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GdkPixbufAnimation* Gdk::PixbufAnimation::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj_copy()

GdkPixbufAnimation* Gdk::PixbufAnimation::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

## ◆ is_static_image()

bool Gdk::PixbufAnimation::is_static_image | ( |  | ) | const

Checks whether the animation is a static image.

If you load a file with new_from_file() and it turns out to be a plain, unanimated image, then this function will return `true`. Use get_static_image() to retrieve the image.

Returns
  `true` if the "animation" was really just an image.

## ◆ operator=()

PixbufAnimation& Gdk::PixbufAnimation::operator= | ( | PixbufAnimation && | src | ) |
| noexcept

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

## ◆ wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::PixbufAnimation > wrap | ( | GdkPixbufAnimation * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |
| related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
