ImageType
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gtk





.. class:: ImageType
   :no-contents-entry:






Describes the image data representation used by a :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.Image`.

If you want to get the image from the widget, you can only get the
currently-stored representation; for instance, if the :func:`~gi.repository.Gtk.Image.get_storage_type`
returns :const:`~gi.repository.Gtk.ImageType.PAINTABLE`, then you can call :func:`~gi.repository.Gtk.Image.get_paintable`.

For empty images, you can request any storage type (call any of the "get"
functions), but they will all return :const:`None` values.
