hi all
i would like to put an animation image in the gtk window.
is it possible.
can you give me an example program for this.

you can use gtk_image_new_from_file on a .gif and it will load the animation and loop it forever.
you can also use GdkPixbufAnimation
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk-pixb ... ation.html
which gives a bit more control.
the only advantage that I can really think of for using GdkPixbufAnimation is that you can stop the animation once a condition is met,
in my example I stop the animation after 30 frames

Code:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

typedef struct _Iter_Image
{
   GtkWidget *im;
   GdkPixbufAnimationIter *iter;
} Iter_Image;

gboolean advance_frame(Iter_Image *ii)
{
   static gint frame = 1;

   if(gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_advance(ii->iter, NULL))
   {
      frame++;
      gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf(GTK_IMAGE(ii->im), gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_get_pixbuf(ii->iter));
   }

   if(frame == 30)
      return FALSE;
   return TRUE;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   GtkWidget *win;
   GtkWidget *im;
   GdkPixbufAnimation *anim;
   GdkPixbufAnimationIter *iter;
   GdkPixbuf *pbuf;
   GError *err;
   Iter_Image ii;

   err = NULL;

   gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

   win = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
   g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(win), "delete-event", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);

   anim = gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_file("test.gif", &err);
   if(err != NULL)
   {
      g_critical(err->message);
      g_error_free(err);
      return 1;
   }
   iter = gdk_pixbuf_animation_get_iter(anim, NULL);
   pbuf = gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_get_pixbuf(iter);
   im = gtk_image_new_from_pixbuf(pbuf);
   gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(win), im);
   gtk_widget_show(im);
   ii.im = im;
   ii.iter = iter;
   g_timeout_add(gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_get_delay_time(iter), (GSourceFunc)advance_frame, (gpointer)&ii);

   gtk_widget_show(win);

   gtk_main();

   return 0;
}

thank you. its working .
but the problem is the animation image animating very fast than its orginal.

it might go slower if you increase your timeout interval, ex:

Code:

g_timeout_add(gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_get_delay_time(iter)+100, (GSourceFunc)advance_frame, (gpointer)&ii);

the interval is measured in milliseconds, so adding 100 will add a 10th of a second
