NAME

App::MathImage::Gtk2::Ex::Splash -- toplevel splash widget

SYNOPSIS

use App::MathImage::Gtk2::Ex::Splash;

$splash->present;
# do some things
$splash->destroy;

WIDGET HIERARCHY

App::MathImage::Gtk2::Ex::Splash is a subclass of Gtk2::Window, but don't rely on more than Gtk2::Widget just yet.

Gtk2::Widget
  Gtk2::Container
    Gtk2::Bin
      Gtk2::Window
        App::MathImage::Gtk2::Ex::Splash

DESCRIPTION

This is a splash window widget designed to show a temporary toplevel window centred on the screen. It can be used as a splash screen at program startup if some initializations might be slow, or it can be a general purpose flash or splash.

The window is non-interactive, so it doesn't take the keyboard focus away from whatever the user is doing. (Is that true of "focus follows mouse" window manager style though?) It does consume mouse button clicks though.

The image is shown as the window background, so it doesn't require any redraws from the application program and thus displays even if the application is busy doing other things.

FUNCTIONS

$splash = App::MathImage::Gtk2::Ex::Splash->new (key=>value,...)

Create and return a new Splash widget. Optional key/value pairs set initial properties per Glib::Object->new.

my $splash = App::MathImage::Gtk2::Ex::Splash->new;

PROPERTIES

pixmap (Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap object, default undef)
pixbuf (Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf object, default undef)
filename (string, default undef)

The image to display.

A filename is read with Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf so can be any file format supported by GdkPixbuf. PNG and JPEG are supported in all Gtk2 versions.

The usual Gtk2::Window screen property determines the screen the window is displayed on.
