5 Loading a pixbuf from a file.
7 <!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
9 The GdkPixbuf library provides a simple mechanism for loading an
10 image from a file in synchronous fashion. This means that the
11 library takes control of the application while the file is being
12 loaded; from the user's point of view, the application will block
13 until the image is done loading.
17 This interface can be used by applications in which blocking is
18 acceptable while an image is being loaded. It can also be used to
19 load small images in general. Applications that need progressive
20 loading can use the #GdkPixbufLoader functionality instead.
