PixbufAnimationIter

class PixbufAnimationIter(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Object

Subclasses: PixbufSimpleAnimIter

An opaque object representing an iterator which points to a certain position in an animation.

Methods

class PixbufAnimationIter

advance(current_time: TimeVal | None = None) → bool

Possibly advances an animation to a new frame.

Chooses the frame based on the start time passed to get_iter().

current_time would normally come from get_current_time(), and must be greater than or equal to the time passed to get_iter(), and must increase or remain unchanged each time get_pixbuf() is called. That is, you can’t go backward in time; animations only play forward.

As a shortcut, pass NULL for the current time and get_current_time() will be invoked on your behalf. So you only need to explicitly pass current_time if you’re doing something odd like playing the animation at double speed.

If this function returns FALSE, there’s no need to update the animation display, assuming the display had been rendered prior to advancing; if TRUE, you need to call get_pixbuf() and update the display with the new pixbuf.

Parameters:

current_time – current time

get_delay_time() → int

Gets the number of milliseconds the current pixbuf should be displayed, or -1 if the current pixbuf should be displayed forever.

The :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.timeout_add` function conveniently takes a timeout in milliseconds, so you can use a timeout to schedule the next update.

Note that some formats, like GIF, might clamp the timeout values in the image file to avoid updates that are just too quick. The minimum timeout for GIF images is currently 20 milliseconds.

get_pixbuf() → Pixbuf

Gets the current pixbuf which should be displayed.

The pixbuf might not be the same size as the animation itself (get_width(), get_height()).

This pixbuf should be displayed for get_delay_time() milliseconds.

The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned pixbuf; the returned pixbuf will become invalid when the iterator advances to the next frame, which may happen anytime you call advance().

Copy the pixbuf to keep it (don’t just add a reference), as it may get recycled as you advance the iterator.

on_currently_loading_frame() → bool

Used to determine how to respond to the area_updated signal on PixbufLoader when loading an animation.

The ::area_updated signal is emitted for an area of the frame currently streaming in to the loader. So if you’re on the currently loading frame, you will need to redraw the screen for the updated area.

Parameters:

current_time – current time

do_get_delay_time() → int

Gets the number of milliseconds the current pixbuf should be displayed, or -1 if the current pixbuf should be displayed forever.
