Pixbuf.readPixelBytes

glib.bytes.Bytes readPixelBytes()

Provides a #GBytes buffer containing the raw pixel data; the data must not be modified.

This function allows skipping the implicit copy that must be made if [gdkpixbuf.pixbuf.Pixbuf.getPixels] is called on a read-only pixbuf.

Returns

A new reference to a read-only copy of

the pixel data. Note that for mutable pixbufs, this function will incur a one-time copy of the pixel data for conversion into the returned #GBytes.
