Package: gtk

Function gtk-image-new-from-resource

Lambda List

gtk-image-new-from-resource (resource)

Arguments

resource -- a string with a resource path

Return Value

A new gtk-image widget.

Details

Creates an image displaying the resource file in resource.

If the file is not found or can not be loaded, the resulting gtk-image widget will display a "broken image" icon. This function always returns a valid gtk-image widget.

If the file contains an animation, the image will contain an animation.

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use the gdk-pixbuf-new-from-resource function to load the file yourself, then create the gtk-image widget from the pixbuf, or for animations, use the gdk-pixbuf-animation-new-from-resource function.

The storage type, see the gtk-image-storage-type function, of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.
