Signal Details

The “eval” signal

void
user_function (VipsImage *image,
               gpointer   progress,
               gpointer   user_data)

The ::eval signal is emitted once per work unit (typically a 128 x 128 area of pixels) during image computation.

You can use this signal to update user-interfaces with progress feedback. Beware of updating too frequently: you will usually need some throttling mechanism.

Use vips_image_set_progress() to turn on progress reporting for an image.

Parameters

image

the image being calculated

 

progress

VipsProgress for this image.

[type VipsProgress]

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last


The “invalidate” signal

void
user_function (VipsImage *image,
               gpointer   user_data)

The ::invalidate signal is emitted when an image or one of it's upstream data sources has been destructively modified. See vips_image_invalidate_all().

Parameters

image

the image that has changed

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Action


The “minimise” signal

void
user_function (VipsImage *image,
               gpointer   user_data)

The ::minimise signal is emitted when an image has been asked to minimise memory usage. All non-essential caches are dropped. See vips_image_minimise_all().

Parameters

image

the image that is being minimised

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Action


The “posteval” signal

void
user_function (VipsImage *image,
               gpointer   progress,
               gpointer   user_data)

The ::posteval signal is emitted once at the end of the computation of image . It's a good place to shut down evaluation feedback.

Use vips_image_set_progress() to turn on progress reporting for an image.

Parameters

image

the image that was calculated

 

progress

VipsProgress for this image.

[type VipsProgress]

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last


The “preeval” signal

void
user_function (VipsImage *image,
               gpointer   progress,
               gpointer   user_data)

The ::preeval signal is emitted once before computation of image starts. It's a good place to set up evaluation feedback.

Use vips_image_set_progress() to turn on progress reporting for an image.

Parameters

image

the image to be calculated

 

progress

VipsProgress for this image.

[type VipsProgress]

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last


The “written” signal

void
user_function (VipsImage *image,
               gpointer   result,
               gpointer   user_data)

The ::written signal is emitted just after an image has been written to. It is used by vips to implement things like write to foreign file formats.

Parameters

image

the image that was calculated

 

result

set to non-zero to indicate error.

[out][type gint]

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Action
