TextureDownloader

Added in version 4.10.

class TextureDownloader(**kwargs)

The GdkTextureDownloader is used to download the contents of a Texture.

It is intended to be created as a short-term object for a single download, but can be used for multiple downloads of different textures or with different settings.

GdkTextureDownloader can be used to convert data between different formats. Create a GdkTexture for the existing format and then download it in a different format.

Methods

class TextureDownloader

download_bytes() → tuple[Bytes, int]

Downloads the given texture pixels into a GBytes. The rowstride will be stored in the stride value.

Downloads the texture into local memory.

Parameters:
