## Implemented Interfaces

GtkPreview implements AtkImplementorIface.

## Properties

      expand                   gboolean              : Read / Write

## Description

The GtkPreview widget provides a simple interface used to display images as RGB or grayscale data. It's deprecated; just use a GdkPixbuf displayed by a GtkImage, or perhaps a GtkDrawingArea. GtkPreview has no advantage over those approaches.

## Details

### GtkPreview

    typedef struct _GtkPreview GtkPreview;

### Warning

`GtkPreview` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

The GtkPreview struct contains private data only, and should be accessed using the functions below.

### GtkPreviewInfo

    typedef struct {
      guchar *lookup;

      gdouble gamma;
    } GtkPreviewInfo;

### Warning

`GtkPreviewInfo` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Contains information about global properties of preview widgets. The GtkPreviewInfo struct contains the following fields. (These fields should be considered read-only. They should never be set by an application.)

GdkVisual *visual; | the visual used by all previews.
GdkColormap *cmap; | the colormap used by all previews.
gdouble gamma; | the gamma correction value used by all previews (See `gtk_preview_set_gamma()`).

### union GtkDitherInfo

    union GtkDitherInfo
    {
      gushort s[2];
      guchar c[4];
    };

### Warning

`GtkDitherInfo` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This union not used in GTK+.

### gtk_preview_uninit ()

    void                gtk_preview_uninit                  (void);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_uninit` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function is deprecated and does nothing.

### gtk_preview_new ()

    GtkWidget*          gtk_preview_new                     (GtkPreviewType type);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_new` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Create a new preview widget.

`type` : | the type data contained by the widget. (Grayscale or RGB)
Returns : | a new GtkPreview

### gtk_preview_size ()

    void                gtk_preview_size                    (GtkPreview *preview,
                                                             gint width,
                                                             gint height);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_size` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Set the size that the preview widget will request in response to a "size_request" signal. The drawing area may actually be allocated a size larger than this depending on how it is packed within the enclosing containers. The effect of this is determined by whether the preview is set to expand or not (see `gtk_preview_expand()`)

`preview` : | a GtkPreview.
`width` : | the new width.
`height` : | the new height.

### gtk_preview_put ()

    void                gtk_preview_put                     (GtkPreview *preview,
                                                             GdkWindow *window,
                                                             GdkGC *gc,
                                                             gint srcx,
                                                             gint srcy,
                                                             gint destx,
                                                             gint desty,
                                                             gint width,
                                                             gint height);

### Warning

Takes a portion of the contents of a preview widget and draws it onto the given drawable, `window`.

`preview` : | a GtkPreview.
`window` : | a window or pixmap.
`gc` : | The graphics context for the operation. Only the clip mask for this GC matters.
`srcx` : | the x coordinate of the upper left corner in the source image.
`srcy` : | the y coordinate of the upper left corner in the source image.
`destx` : | the x coordinate of the upper left corner in the destination image.
`desty` : | the y coordinate of the upper left corner in the destination image.
`width` : | the width of the rectangular portion to draw.
`height` : | the height of the rectangular portion to draw.

### gtk_preview_draw_row ()

    void                gtk_preview_draw_row                (GtkPreview *preview,
                                                             guchar *data,
                                                             gint x,
                                                             gint y,
                                                             gint w);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_draw_row` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Sets the data for a portion of a row.

`preview` : | a GtkPreview.
`data` : | the new data for the portion. It should contain `w` bytes of data if the preview is of type GTK_TYPE_GRAYSCALE, and 3*`w` bytes of data if the preview is of type GTK_TYPE_COLOR.
`x` : | the starting value on the row to set.
`y` : | the row to change.
`w` : | the number of pixels in the row to change.

### gtk_preview_set_expand ()

    void                gtk_preview_set_expand              (GtkPreview *preview,
                                                             gboolean expand);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_set_expand` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Determines the way that the the preview widget behaves when the size it is allocated is larger than the requested size. If `expand` is `FALSE`, then the preview's window and buffer will be no larger than the size set with `gtk_preview_size()`, and the data set will be centered in the allocation if it is larger. If `expand` is `TRUE` then the window and buffer will expand with the allocation; the application is responsible for catching the "size_allocate" signal and providing the data appropriate for this size.

`preview` : | a GtkPreview.
`expand` : | whether the preview's window should expand or not.

### gtk_preview_set_gamma ()

    void                gtk_preview_set_gamma               (double gamma_);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_set_gamma` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Set the gamma-correction value for all preview widgets. (This function will eventually be replaced with a function that sets a per-preview-widget gamma value). The resulting intensity is given by: `destination_value * pow (source_value/255, 1/gamma)`. The gamma value is applied when the data is set with `gtk_preview_draw_row()` so changing this value will not affect existing data in preview widgets.

`gamma_` : | the new gamma value.

### gtk_preview_set_color_cube ()

    void                gtk_preview_set_color_cube          (guint nred_shades,
                                                             guint ngreen_shades,
                                                             guint nblue_shades,
                                                             guint ngray_shades);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_set_color_cube` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function is deprecated and does nothing. GdkRGB automatically picks an optimium color cube for the display.

`nred_shades` : | ignored
`ngreen_shades` : | ignored
`nblue_shades` : | ignored
`ngray_shades` : | ignored

### gtk_preview_set_install_cmap ()

    void                gtk_preview_set_install_cmap        (gint install_cmap);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_set_install_cmap` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function is deprecated and does nothing. GdkRGB will automatically pick a private colormap if it cannot allocate sufficient colors.

`install_cmap` : | ignored.

### gtk_preview_set_reserved ()

    void                gtk_preview_set_reserved            (gint nreserved);

`dither` : | the dithering mode.

### gtk_preview_get_visual ()

    GdkVisual*          gtk_preview_get_visual              (void);

### Warning

`gtk_preview_get_visual` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
