Overview

The GtkImage widget displays an image.

An example GtkImage

Various kinds of object can be displayed as an image; most typically, you would load a GdkTexture from a file, using the convenience function [ctorGtk.Image.new_from_file], for instance:

GtkWidget *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 [ctorGdk.Texture.new_from_file], then create the GtkImage with [ctorGtk.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, [propertyGtk.Image:resource], [ctorGtk.Image.new_from_resource], and [methodGtk.Image.set_from_resource] should be used.

GtkImage displays its image as an icon, with a size that is determined by the application. See [classGtk.Picture] if you want to show an image at is actual size.

CSS nodes

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

Accessibility

GtkImage uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_IMG role.

Constructor Details

#initialize(resource_path) ⇒ Gtk::Widget

Creates a new GtkImage displaying the resource file resource_path.

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

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use [ctorGdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file] to load the file yourself, then create the GtkImage from the pixbuf.

The storage type (see [methodGtk.Image.get_storage_type]) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.

Parameters:

  • resource_path (String) —

    a resource path
