💅 Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap 💅

okay bestie so this is the Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap page from the gtk2-perl docs — it's literally just a wrapper for GdkPixmap, no cap. It's the thing you reach for when you want a lil offscreen canvas to draw on. Buckle up, we're going through every single method, fr fr 🫶

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

so here's the family tree, and yes the vibes are immaculate:

Glib::Object
+----Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable
     +----Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap

Pixmap is a Drawable, and Drawable is a Glib::Object. It's giving nepo baby but make it graphics 💀

✨ METHODS ✨

🦋 pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->new ($drawable, $width, $height, $depth)

pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->new ($drawable, $width, $height, $depth)
  • $drawable — a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable, or undef if you're feeling spicy 🙈
  • $width — integer
  • $height — integer
  • $depth — integer

🎀 (pixmap, mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->colormap_create_from_xpm ($drawable, $colormap, $transparent_color, $filename)

(pixmap, mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->colormap_create_from_xpm ($drawable,
    $colormap, $transparent_color, $filename)
  • $drawable — a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable or undef. It may be undef if $colormap is given. (one of the two, bestie, not neither 👀)
  • $colormap — a Gtk2::Gdk::Colormap or undef. This is the GdkColormap used for the new image; it may be undef if $drawable is given.
  • $transparent_color — a Gtk2::Gdk::Color or undef. It's the color of the pixels that are transparent in the input file. If it's undef, a default gets used.
  • $filename — a localized file name

💖 ($pixmap, $mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->colormap_create_from_xpm_d ($drawable, $colormap, $transparent_color, @xpm_data)

($pixmap, $mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->colormap_create_from_xpm_d ($drawable,
    $colormap, $transparent_color, @xpm_data)
  • $drawable — a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable or undef. May be undef if $colormap is given.
  • $colormap — a Gtk2::Gdk::Colormap or undef. The GdkColormap for the new image; may be undef if $drawable is given.
  • $transparent_color — a Gtk2::Gdk::Color or undef. The color of pixels that are transparent in the input file. If undef, a default is used.
  • ... — a list of strings, aka the xpm data

What it does: creates a pixmap from the xpm data you hand it, using a specific colormap. Also — see "create_from_xpm_d". 👑

🍓 pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->create_from_data ($drawable, $data, $width, $height, $depth, $fg, $bg)

pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->create_from_data ($drawable, $data, $width,
    $height, $depth, $fg, $bg)
  • $drawable — a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable
  • $data — a string
  • $width — integer
  • $height — integer
  • $depth — integer
  • $fg — a Gtk2::Gdk::Color
  • $bg — a Gtk2::Gdk::Color

look at all those args. seven of them. the way that this method ate 💅

🧚 (pixmap, mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->create_from_xpm ($drawable, $transparent_color, $filename)

(pixmap, mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->create_from_xpm ($drawable,
    $transparent_color, $filename)
  • $drawable — a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable
  • $transparent_color — a Gtk2::Gdk::Color or undef
  • $filename — a localized file name

🌈 ($pixmap, $mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->create_from_xpm_d ($drawable, $transparent_color, @xpm_data)

($pixmap, $mask) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->create_from_xpm_d ($drawable,
    $transparent_color, @xpm_data)
  • $drawable — a Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable, used to determine the colormap and visual of the image
  • $transparent_color — a Gtk2::Gdk::Color or undef. The color of pixels that are transparent in the input file. If undef, a default is used.
  • ... — a list of strings, the xpm data

What it does: creates a pixmap from the provided xpm data, usually included in the program as an inline image. And if you wanna know what the format of that data even is, see "new_from_xpm_data" in Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf. iykyk ✨

👑 pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->foreign_new ($anid)

pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->foreign_new ($anid)
  • $anid — a Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow

🦋 pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->foreign_new_for_display ($display, $anid)

pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->foreign_new_for_display ($display, $anid)
  • $display — a Gtk2::Gdk::Display
  • $anid — a Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow

Since: gtk+ 2.2

⭐ pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->foreign_new_for_screen ($screen, $anid, $width, $height, $depth)

pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->foreign_new_for_screen ($screen, $anid, $width,
    $height, $depth)
  • $screen — a Gtk2::Gdk::Screen
  • $anid — a Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow
  • $width — integer
  • $height — integer
  • $depth — integer

Since: gtk+ 2.10

💜 pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->lookup ($anid)

pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->lookup ($anid)
  • $anid — a Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow

🎀 pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->lookup_for_display ($display, $anid)

pixmap = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap->lookup_for_display ($display, $anid)
  • $display — a Gtk2::Gdk::Display
  • $anid — a Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow

Since: gtk+ 2.2
