The GdkPixBuf library provides a simple mechanism for loading an image from a file in synchronous fashion. This means that the library takes control of the application while the file is being loaded; from the user's point of view, the application will block until the image is done loading.
This interface can be used by applications in which blocking is acceptable while an image is being loaded. It can also be used to load small images in general. Applications that need progressive loading can use the GdkPixbufLoader functionality instead.
GdkPixbuf * gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file (const char *filename,GError **error);
Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is
detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error
will be set.
Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_ERROR domains.
GdkPixbuf * gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size (const char *filename,int width,int height,GError **error);
Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file.
The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then
error
will be set. Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and
G_FILE_ERROR domains.
The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, preserving
the image's aspect ratio. Note that the returned pixbuf may be smaller
than width
x height
, if the aspect ratio requires it. To load
and image at the requested size, regardless of aspect ratio, use
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale().
filename |
Name of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding. |
[type filename] |
width |
The width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width |
|
height |
The height the image should have or -1 to not constrain the height |

error |
Return location for an error |
A newly-created pixbuf with a reference count of 1, or
NULL if any of several error conditions occurred: the file could not
be opened, there was no loader for the file's format, there was not
enough memory to allocate the image buffer, or the image file contained
invalid data.
Since: 2.4
GdkPixbuf * gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale (const char *filename,int width,int height,gboolean preserve_aspect_ratio,GError **error);
Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file. The file format is
detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then error
will be set.
Possible errors are in the GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR and G_FILE_ERROR domains.
The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, optionally preserving
the image's aspect ratio.
When preserving the aspect ratio, a width
of -1 will cause the image
to be scaled to the exact given height, and a height
of -1 will cause
the image to be scaled to the exact given width. When not preserving
aspect ratio, a width
or height
of -1 means to not scale the image
at all in that dimension. Negative values for width
and height
are
allowed since 2.8.

void gdk_pixbuf_get_file_info_async (const gchar *filename,GCancellable *cancellable,GAsyncReadyCallback callback,gpointer user_data);
Asynchronously parses an image file far enough to determine its format and size.
For more details see gdk_pixbuf_get_file_info(), 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 gdk_pixbuf_get_file_info_finish() to
get the result of the operation.

GdkPixbuf * gdk_pixbuf_new_from_resource (const char *resource_path,GError **error);
Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an resource.
The file format is detected automatically. If NULL is returned, then
error
will be set.
A newly-created pixbuf, or NULL if any of several error
conditions occurred: the file could not be opened, the image format is
not supported, there was not enough memory to allocate the image buffer,
the stream contained invalid data, or the operation was cancelled.

GdkPixbuf * gdk_pixbuf_new_from_stream_at_scale (GInputStream *stream,gint width,gint height,gboolean preserve_aspect_ratio,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from an input stream.
The file format is detected automatically. If NULL 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
G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Other possible errors are in

The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, optionally preserving the image's aspect ratio.
When preserving the aspect ratio, a width
of -1 will cause the image to be
scaled to the exact given height, and a height
of -1 will cause the image
to be scaled to the exact given width. If both width

are
given, this function will behave as if the smaller of the two values
is passed as -1.
When not preserving aspect ratio, a width

of -1 means to not
scale the image at all in that dimension.
