Hi All,
For my application i need to get the picture drawn in the drawing area widget as a file.I have written the following code , but it doesnt work ...... (i.e) the function ->
gdk_pixbuf_save() ..... i can get as a JPEG file but i tried several times to get a BMP file & could not get it.
Is there any thing with the GTK version im using, which is Gtk-2.2.1. Please tell me some idea behind this which will work.
--------------------------The sample code im using--------------------------------------------------------
colormap = gtk_widget_get_colormap(drawing_area);
gtk_widget_realize(drawing_area);
pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable(NULL,GDK_DRAWABLE(drawing_area->window),colormap,drawing_area->allocation.x, drawing_area->allocation.y, 0, 0,drawing_area->allocation.width, drawing_area->allocation.height );
gdk_pixbuf_save (pixbuf, "/root/handle.bmp", "bmp",NULL, NULL, NULL); // to save as jpeg works
g_object_unref(pixbuf);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks in advance.
