Queries the color space of a pixbuf.

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.

Queries the number of channels of a pixbuf.

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.
Returns : | Number of channels.

### gdk_pixbuf_get_has_alpha ()

    gboolean            gdk_pixbuf_get_has_alpha            (const GdkPixbuf *pixbuf);

Queries whether a pixbuf has an alpha channel (opacity information).

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.
Returns : | `TRUE` if it has an alpha channel, `FALSE` otherwise.

### gdk_pixbuf_get_bits_per_sample ()

    int                 gdk_pixbuf_get_bits_per_sample      (const GdkPixbuf *pixbuf);

Queries the number of bits per color sample in a pixbuf.

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.
Returns : | Number of bits per color sample.

### gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels ()

    guchar *            gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels               (const GdkPixbuf *pixbuf);

Queries a pointer to the pixel data of a pixbuf.

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.
Returns : | A pointer to the pixbuf's pixel data. Please see ??? for information about how the pixel data is stored in memory.

### gdk_pixbuf_get_width ()

    int                 gdk_pixbuf_get_width                (const GdkPixbuf *pixbuf);

Queries the width of a pixbuf.

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.
Returns : | Width in pixels.

### gdk_pixbuf_get_height ()

    int                 gdk_pixbuf_get_height               (const GdkPixbuf *pixbuf);

Queries the height of a pixbuf.

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.
Returns : | Height in pixels.

### gdk_pixbuf_get_rowstride ()

    int                 gdk_pixbuf_get_rowstride            (const GdkPixbuf *pixbuf);

Queries the rowstride of a pixbuf, which is the number of bytes between the start of a row and the start of the next row.

`pixbuf` : | A pixbuf.
Returns : | Distance between row starts.

### gdk_pixbuf_get_option ()

    const gchar *       gdk_pixbuf_get_option               (GdkPixbuf *pixbuf,
                                                             const gchar *key);

Looks up `key` in the list of options that may have been attached to the `pixbuf` when it was loaded, or that may have been attached by another function using `gdk_pixbuf_set_option()`.

For instance, the ANI loader provides "Title" and "Artist" options. The ICO, XBM, and XPM loaders provide "x_hot" and "y_hot" hot-spot options for cursor definitions. The PNG loader provides the tEXt ancillary chunk key/value pairs as options. Since 2.12, the TIFF and JPEG loaders return an "orientation" option string that corresponds to the embedded TIFF/Exif orientation tag (if present).

`pixbuf` : | a GdkPixbuf
`key` : | a nul-terminated string.
Returns : | the value associated with `key`. This is a nul-terminated string that should not be freed or `NULL` if `key` was not found.

## Property Details

### The `"bits-per-sample"` property

      "bits-per-sample"          gint                  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The number of bits per sample. Currently only 8 bit per sample are supported.

Allowed values: [1,16]

Default value: 8

### The `"colorspace"` property

      "colorspace"               GdkColorspace         : Read / Write / Construct Only

The colorspace in which the samples are interpreted.

Default value: GDK_COLORSPACE_RGB

### The `"has-alpha"` property

      "has-alpha"                gboolean              : Read / Write / Construct Only

Whether the pixbuf has an alpha channel.

Default value: FALSE

### The `"height"` property

      "height"                   gint                  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The number of rows of the pixbuf.

Allowed values: >= 1

Default value: 1

### The `"n-channels"` property

      "n-channels"               gint                  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The number of samples per pixel. Currently, only 3 or 4 samples per pixel are supported.

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 3

      "rowstride"                gint                  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The number of bytes between the start of a row and the start of the next row. This number must (obviously) be at least as large as the width of the pixbuf.

Allowed values: >= 1

Default value: 1

### The `"width"` property

      "width"                    gint                  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The number of columns of the pixbuf.

Allowed values: >= 1

Default value: 1
