| 1 | The gdk-pixbuf library provides a number of features: |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | - GdkPixbuf structure for representing images. |
|---|
| 4 | - Image loading facilities, both synchronous and progressive. |
|---|
| 5 | - Rendering of a GdkPixbuf into various formats: |
|---|
| 6 | drawables (windows, pixmaps), GdkRGB buffers. |
|---|
| 7 | - Fast scaling and compositing of pixbufs. |
|---|
| 8 | - Simple animation loading (ie. animated gifs). |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | In addition, this module also provides a little libgnomecanvaspixbuf |
|---|
| 11 | library, which contains a GNOME Canvas item to display pixbufs with |
|---|
| 12 | full affine transformations. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | Also, John Harper maintains the Xlib port of gdk-pixbuf. This |
|---|
| 15 | included library lets you use the gdk-pixbuf rendering functions on |
|---|
| 16 | plain Xlib programs that do not use Gdk. |
