The GdkPixbuf library provides a basic, +reference counted structure called GdkPixbuf. This structure points +to a block of image data, has fields that describe the format of the +image data, and also contains a reference count. The library also +provides a simple mechanism for loading images from files, and a more +sophisticated mechanism for loading images progressively from +arbitrary buffers. It also provides utility functions to transform +pixbufs and render them to GDK drawables. + +The GdkPixBuf library provides a number of features: + * Image loading facilities. + * Rendering of a GdkPixBuf into various formats: + drawables (windows, pixmaps), GdkRGB buffers. |
