## Functions

### st_texture_cache_get_default ()

    StTextureCache *
    st_texture_cache_get_default (void);

#### Returns

### st_texture_cache_load_sliced_image ()

    ClutterActor *
    st_texture_cache_load_sliced_image (StTextureCache *cache,
                                        const gchar *path,
                                        gint grid_width,
                                        gint grid_height,
                                        gint scale,
                                        GFunc load_callback,
                                        gpointer user_data);

This function reads a single image file which contains multiple images internally. The image file will be divided using `grid_width` and `grid_height` ; note that the dimensions of the image loaded from `path` should be a multiple of the specified grid dimensions.

#### Parameters

cache | A StTextureCache |
path | Path to a filename |
grid_width | Width in pixels |
grid_height | Height in pixels |
scale | Scale factor of the display |
load_callback | Function called when the image is loaded, or `NULL`. | [scope async][nullable]
user_data | Data to pass to the load callback |

#### Returns

A new ClutterActor.

### st_texture_cache_bind_pixbuf_property ()

    ClutterActor *
    st_texture_cache_bind_pixbuf_property (StTextureCache *cache,
                                           GObject *object,
                                           const char *property_name);

Create a ClutterTexture which tracks the GdkPixbuf value of a GObject property named by `property_name` . Unlike other methods in StTextureCache, the underlying CoglTexture is not shared by default with other invocations to this method.

If the source object is destroyed, the texture will continue to show the last value of the property.

#### Parameters

object | A GObject with a property `property_name` of type GdkPixbuf |
property_name | Name of a property |

#### Returns

A new ClutterActor.

### st_texture_cache_load_gicon ()

    ClutterActor *
    st_texture_cache_load_gicon (StTextureCache *cache,
                                 StThemeNode *theme_node,
                                 GIcon *icon,
                                 gint size,
                                 gint scale);

This method returns a new ClutterActor for a given GIcon. If the icon isn't loaded already, the texture will be filled asynchronously.

#### Parameters

cache | The texture cache instance |
theme_node | The StThemeNode to use for colors, or NULL if the icon must not be recolored. | [nullable]
icon | the GIcon to load |
size | Size of themed |
scale | Scale factor of display |

#### Returns

A new ClutterActor for the icon, or `NULL` if not found.

### st_texture_cache_load_uri_async ()

    ClutterActor *
    st_texture_cache_load_uri_async (StTextureCache *cache,
                                     const gchar *uri,
                                     int available_width,
                                     int available_height,
                                     int scale);

Asynchronously load an image. Initially, the returned texture will have a natural size of zero. At some later point, either the image will be loaded successfully and at that point size will be negotiated, or upon an error, no image will be set.

#### Parameters

cache | The texture cache instance |
uri | uri of the image file from which to create a pixbuf |
available_width | available width for the image, can be -1 if not limited |
available_height | available height for the image, can be -1 if not limited |
scale | scale factor of the display |

#### Returns

A new ClutterActor with no image loaded initially.

[transfer none]

### st_texture_cache_load_file_to_cogl_texture ()

    CoglTexture *
    st_texture_cache_load_file_to_cogl_texture
                                   (StTextureCache *cache,
                                    const gchar *file_path,
                                    gint scale);

This function synchronously loads the given file path into a COGL texture. On error, a warning is emitted and `NULL` is returned.

#### Parameters

cache | A StTextureCache |
file_path | Path to a file in supported image format |
scale | Scale factor of the display |

#### Returns

a new CoglTexture.

### st_texture_cache_load_file_to_cairo_surface ()

    cairo_surface_t *
    st_texture_cache_load_file_to_cairo_surface
                                   (StTextureCache *cache,
                                    const gchar *file_path,
                                    gint scale);

This function synchronously loads the given file path into a cairo surface. On error, a warning is emitted and `NULL` is returned.

#### Parameters

cache | A StTextureCache |
file_path | Path to a file in supported image format |
scale | Scale factor of the display |

#### Returns

a new cairo_surface_t.

### StTextureCacheLoader ()

    CoglTexture *
    (*StTextureCacheLoader) (StTextureCache *cache,
                             const char *key,
                             void *data,
                             GError **error);

See `st_texture_cache_load()`. Implementations should return a texture handle for the given key, or set `error` .

#### Parameters

cache | a StTextureCache |
key | Unique identifier for this texture |
data | Callback user data |
error | A GError |

### st_texture_cache_load ()

    CoglTexture *
    st_texture_cache_load (StTextureCache *cache,
                           const char *key,
                           StTextureCachePolicy policy,
                           StTextureCacheLoader load,
                           void *data,
                           GError **error);

Load an arbitrary texture, caching it. The string chosen for `key` should be of the form "type-prefix:type-uuid". For example, "url:file:///usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/firefox.png", or "stock-icon:gtk-ok".

#### Parameters

cache | A StTextureCache |
key | Arbitrary string used to refer to item |
policy | Caching policy |
load | Function to create the texture, if not already cached |
data | User data passed to `load` |
error | A GError |
