Detailed Description

The C++ framework for the GTK+ Drawing Kit and the GdkPixbuf library.

Provides an API that can be used to add two-dimensional graphics to your program. GDK itself is the abstraction layer that allows GTK+ to support multiple windowing systems. GDK provides drawing and window system facilities on X11, Windows, and the Linux framebuffer device.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum AxisUse
 

An enumeration describing the way in which a device axis (valuator) maps onto the predefined valuator types that GTK+ understands.

Enumeration values:

MSB_FIRST  The values are stored with the most-significant byte first; for instance, the 32-bit value 0xffeecc would be stored in memory as 0x00, 0xcc, 0xee, 0xff.

enum CapStyle
 

Determines how the end of lines are drawn.

Enumeration values:
CAP_NOT_LAST  The same as CAP_BUTT for lines of non-zero width; for zero width lines, the final point on the line will not be drawn.
CAP_BUTT  The ends of the lines are drawn squared off and extending to the coordinates of the end point.
CAP_ROUND  The ends of the lines are drawn as semicircles with the diameter equal to the line width and centered at the end point.
CAP_PROJECTING  The ends of the lines are drawn squared off and extending half the width of the line beyond the end point.

Defines the color spaces that are supported by the gdk-pixbuf library.

Currently only RGB is supported.

Enumeration values:
COLORSPACE_RGB  Indicates a red/green/blue additive color space.

enum CrossingMode
 

Specifies the crossing mode for an EventCrossing.

Enumeration values:
CROSSING_NORMAL  Crossing because of pointer motion.
CROSSING_GRAB  Crossing because a grab is activated.
CROSSING_UNGRAB  Crossing because a grab is deactivated.

enum DragAction
 

Used in Gdk::DragContext to indicate what the destination should do with the dropped data.

Enumeration values:
ACTION_DEFAULT  The default action for the protocol being used.
ACTION_COPY  Copy the data.
ACTION_MOVE  Move the data, that is, first copy it, then delete it from the source using the DELETE target of the X selection protocol.
ACTION_LINK  Add a link to the data; note that this is only useful if source and destination agree on what it means.
ACTION_PRIVATE  Special action which tells the source that the destination will do something that the source doesn't understand.
ACTION_ASK  Ask the user what to do with the data.

enum DragProtocol
 

Used in Gdk::DragContext to indicate the protocol according to which DND is done.

Enumeration values:

enum EventMask
 

A set of bit-flags to indicate which events a window is to receive.

Most of these masks map onto one or more of the EventType event types.

POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK is a special mask which is used to reduce the number of MOTION_NOTIFY events received. Normally a MOTION_NOTIFY event is received each time the mouse moves. However, if the application spends a lot of time processing the event (updating the display, for example), it can easily lag behind the position of the mouse. When using the POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK the server will only send MOTION_NOTIFY events when the application asks for them, by calling Gdk::Window::get_pointer().

Enumeration values:
EXPOSURE_MASK  Maps to the expose-event.
POINTER_MOTION_MASK  Maps to the motion-notify-event.
POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK  Decreases the number of motion-notify events.

KEY_PRESS_MASK  Maps to the key-press-event.
KEY_RELEASE_MASK  Maps to the key-release-event.
ENTER_NOTIFY_MASK  Maps to the enter-notify-event.
LEAVE_NOTIFY_MASK  Maps to the leave-notify-event.

GRAVITY_STATIC  The reference point is at the top left corner of the window itself, ignoring window manager decorations.

enum ImageType
 

Specifies the type of a Gdk::Image.

Enumeration values:
IMAGE_NORMAL  The original X image type, which is quite slow since the image has to be transferred from the client to the server to display it.
IMAGE_SHARED  A faster image type, which uses shared memory to transfer the image data between client and server; However this will only be available if client and server are on the same machine and the shared memory extension is supported by the server.
IMAGE_FASTEST  Specifies that IMAGE_SHARED should be tried first, and if that fails then IMAGE_NORMAL will be used.

enum InputMode
 

An enumeration that describes the mode of an input device.

Enumeration values:
MODE_DISABLED  The device is disabled and will not report any events.
MODE_SCREEN  The device is enabled; the device's coordinate space maps to the entire screen.
MODE_WINDOW  The device is enabled; the device's coordinate space is mapped to a single window (the manner in which this window is chosen is undefined, but it will typically be the same way in which the focus window for key events is determined).

enum InputSource
 

An enumeration describing the type of an input device in general terms.

Enumeration values:
SOURCE_MOUSE  The device is a mouse (this will be reported for the core pointer, even if it is something else, such as a trackball).
SOURCE_PEN  The device is a stylus of a graphics tablet or similar device.
SOURCE_ERASER  The device is an eraser; typically, this would be the other end of a stylus on a graphics tablet.
SOURCE_CURSOR  The device is a graphics tablet "puck" or similar device.

enum InterpType
 

Describes the different interpolation modes that can be used with the scaling functions.

INTERP_NEAREST is the fastest scaling method, but has horrible quality when scaling down. INTERP_BILINEAR is the best choice if you aren't sure what to choose, it has a good speed/quality balance.

Note: Cubic filtering is missing from the list; hyperbolic interpolation is just as fast and results in higher quality.

Enumeration values:
INTERP_NEAREST  Nearest neighbor sampling; this is the fastest and lowest quality mode; Quality is normally unacceptable when scaling down, but may be OK when scaling up.
INTERP_TILES  This is an accurate simulation of the PostScript image operator without any interpolation enabled; Each pixel is rendered as a tiny parallelogram of solid color, the edges of which are implemented with antialiasing; It resembles nearest neighbor for enlargement, and bilinear for reduction.
INTERP_BILINEAR  Best quality/speed balance; use this mode by default (bilinear interpolation); For enlargement, it is equivalent to point-sampling the ideal bilinear-interpolated image; For reduction, it is equivalent to laying down small tiles and integrating over the coverage area.
INTERP_HYPER  This is the slowest and highest quality reconstruction function; It is derived from the hyperbolic filters in Wolberg's "Digital Image Warping", and is formally defined as the hyperbolic-filter sampling the ideal hyperbolic-filter interpolated image (the filter is designed to be idempotent for 1:1 pixel mapping).

enum JoinStyle
 

Determines how the joins between segments of a polygon are drawn.

Enumeration values:
JOIN_MITER  The sides of each line are extended to meet at an angle.
JOIN_ROUND  The sides of the two lines are joined by a circular arc.
JOIN_BEVEL  The sides of the two lines are joined by a straight line which makes an equal angle with each line.

enum LineStyle
 

Determines how lines are drawn.

Enumeration values:
LINE_SOLID  Lines are drawn solid.
LINE_ON_OFF_DASH  Even segments are drawn; odd segments are not drawn.
LINE_DOUBLE_DASH  Even segments are drawn normally.

Odd segments are drawn in the background color if the fill style is SOLID, or in the background color masked by the stipple if the fill style is STIPPLED.

enum ModifierType
 

A set of bit-flags to indicate the state of modifier keys and mouse buttons in various event types.

Typical modifier keys are Shift, Control, Meta, Super, Hyper, Alt, Compose, Apple, CapsLock or ShiftLock.

Enumeration values:
SHIFT_MASK  The Shift key.
LOCK_MASK  A Lock key (depending on the modifier mapping of the X server this may either be CapsLock or ShiftLock).
CONTROL_MASK  The Control key.
MOD1_MASK  The fourth modifier key (it depends on the modifier mapping of the X server which key is interpreted as this modifier, but normally it is the Alt key).
MOD2_MASK  The fifth modifier key (it depends on the modifier mapping of the X server which key is interpreted as this modifier).
MOD3_MASK  The sixth modifier key (it depends on the modifier mapping of the X server which key is interpreted as this modifier).
MOD4_MASK  The seventh modifier key (it depends on the modifier mapping of the X server which key is interpreted as this modifier).
MOD5_MASK  The eighth modifier key (it depends on the modifier mapping of the X server which key is interpreted as this modifier).

OWNER_CHANGE_DESTROY  The window was destroyed.
OWNER_CHANGE_CLOSE  The client was closed.

enum PixbufAlphaMode
 

These values can be passed to render_to_drawable_alpha() to control how the alpha chanel of an image should be handled.

This method can create a bilevel clipping mask (black and white) and use it while pagfcng the image. In the future, when the X Window System gets an alpha channel extension, it will be possible to do full alpha compositing onto arbitrary drawables. For now both cases fall back to a bilevel clipping mask.

Enumeration values:
PIXBUF_ALPHA_BILEVEL  A bilevel clipping mask (black and white) will be created and used to draw the image; Pixels below 0.5 opacity will be considered fully transparent, and all others will be considered fully opaque.
PIXBUF_ALPHA_FULL  For now falls back to PIXBUF_ALPHA_BILEVEL; In the future it will do full alpha compositing.

enum PixbufRotation
 

The possible rotations which can be passed to rotate_simple().

To make them easier to use, their numerical values are the actual degrees.

Enumeration values:
PIXBUF_ROTATE_NONE  No rotation.

VISUAL_PSUEDO_COLOR  Each pixel is an index into a color map that maps pixel values into rgb values (the color map can be changed by an application).
VISUAL_TRUE_COLOR  Each pixel value directly contains red, green, and blue components (The red_mask, green_mask, and blue_mask fields of the GdkVisual structure describe how the components are assembled into a pixel value).
VISUAL_DIRECT_COLOR  Each pixel value contains red, green, and blue components as for GDK_TRUE_COLOR, but the components are mapped via a color table into the final output table instead of being converted directly.

enum WindowEdge

Enumeration values:
WINDOW_EDGE_NORTH_WEST  The top left corner.
WINDOW_EDGE_NORTH  The top edge.

Function Documentation

bool devices_list (  std::vector< Device * > &  devices  ) 
 

Returns the list of available input devices attached to the default display.

Parameters:
devices A reference to a vector of Device* to hold the list of devices.
Returns:
true if the vector is not empty.
The devices in this list are statically allocated and will be freed by GTK+. See also Gdk::Display::list_devcies.

bool events_pending (   ) 
 

Checks if any events are ready to be processed for any display.

Returns:
true if any events are pending.

void flush (   ) 
 

Flushes the X output buffer and waits until all requests have been processed by the server.

This is rarely needed by single-threaded applications. It's main use in XFC is for multi-threaded programming. Before unlocking a critical section of code with a call to Gdk::Mutex::unlock() you might want to call flush() to send all pending commands to the windowing system.

Window* get_default_root_window (   ) 
 

Obtains the root window (parent all other windows are inside) for the default display and screen.

Returns:
The default root window.

void keyboard_ungrab (  unsigned int  time = GDK_CURRENT_TIME  ) 
 

Ungrabs the keyboard for the default display, if it is grabbed by this application (see Gdk::Display::keyboard_ungrab()).

Parameters:
time A timestamp from a Gdk::Event, or GDK_CURRENT_TIME if no timestamp is available.

bool pointer_is_grabbed (   ) 
 

Returns true if the pointer for the default display is currently grabbed by this application (see Gdk::Display::pointer_is_grabbed()).

Returns:
true if the pointer is currently grabbed by this application.
Note that this does not take the implicit pointer grab on button presses into account.

void pointer_ungrab (  unsigned int  time = GDK_CURRENT_TIME  ) 
 

Ungrabs the pointer for the default display, if it is grabbed by this application.

(see Gdk::Display::pointer_ungrab()).

Parameters:
time A timestamp from a Gdk::Event, or GDK_CURRENT_TIME if no timestamp is available.

void set_show_events (  bool  show_events  ) 
 

Sets whether a trace of received events is output.

Parameters:
show_events Set true to output event debugging information.
Note that GTK+ must be compiled with debugging (that is, configured using the --enable-debug option) to use this option.
