gtkImageNewFromFile {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkImageNewFromFile

### Description

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.

### Usage

    gtkImageNewFromFile(filename, show = TRUE)

### Arguments

``filename`` | a filename

### Details

If the file contains an animation, the image will contain an animation.

If you need to detect failures to load the file, use `gdkPixbufNewFromFile` to load the file yourself, then create the `GtkImage` from the pixbuf. (Or for animations, use `gdkPixbufAnimationNewFromFile`).

The storage type (`gtkImageGetStorageType`) of the returned image is not defined, it will be whatever is appropriate for displaying the file.

### Value

[`GtkWidget`] a new `GtkImage`
