gdk-pixbuf-loader-pixbuf (loader)

loader -- a gdk-pixbuf-loader object

The gdk-pixbuf object that the loader is creating, or nil if not enough data has been read to determine how to create the image buffer.

Queries the gdk-pixbuf object that a pixbuf loader is currently creating. In general it only makes sense to call this function after the "area-prepared" signal has been emitted by the loader. This means that enough data has been read to know the size of the image that will be allocated. If the loader has not received enough data via the gdk-pixbuf-loader-write function, then this function returns nil. The returned pixbuf will be the same in all future calls to the loader. Additionally, if the loader is an animation, it will return the "static image" of the animation, see the gdk-pixbuf-animation-static-image function.
