Image.from_file


Description:

[ CCode ( has_construct_function = false , type = "GtkWidget*" ) ]
public Image.from_file (string filename)

Creates a new `GtkImage` displaying the file filename.

If the file isn’t found or can’t be loaded, the resulting `GtkImage` will display a “broken image” icon. This function never returns null, it always returns a valid `GtkImage` widget.

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use [ctor@Gdk.Texture.new_from_file] to load the file yourself, then create the `GtkImage` from the texture.

The storage type (see [method@Gtk.Image.get_storage_type]) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.

Parameters:

filename

a filename

Returns:

a new `GtkImage`
