💖 NAME 💖

Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimation — it's a lil wrapper around GdkPixbufAnimation, and bestie, it's exactly what it sounds like ✨

(also it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3, iykyk 💅)

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

okay so the family tree is giving very much "one parent, one iconic child":

Glib::Object
+----Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimation

🌸 METHODS 🌸

✨ pixbufanimation = Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufAnimation->new_from_file ($filename)

  • $filename — the file name, and yes it's a localized file name, so mind your encodings 💜
🫶 heads up: this one may croak with a Glib::Error in $@ if it fails. So like, wrap it or check $@, don't just rawdog it 😭

✨ integer = $animation->get_height

gives you back an integer — the height. that's the whole thing. slay 💅

✨ boolean = $animation->is_static_image

returns a boolean. is it a static image? the vibes will tell you 🌈

✨ pixbufanimationiter = $animation->get_iter ($start_time_seconds=0, $start_time_microseconds=0)

  • $start_time_seconds — an integer ✨
  • $start_time_microseconds — also an integer ✨

the seconds and microseconds values come from Time::HiRes, which has been standard since perl 5.8.0 — so like, you literally already have it, no cap 🎀

and if both of them are undef or you just don't pass them at all? it uses the current time. easy 💖

✨ pixbuf = $animation->get_static_image

hands you back a pixbuf. the static one. periodt 🧚

✨ integer = $animation->get_width

returns an integer — the width. iconic, symmetrical, we love a matching pair 👑
