Hi! i have this code:

use Gtk2 '-init';
use Image::Magick;

my $magick = Image::Magick->new;
$magick->Read('pictures/ian.jpg');
$magick->Set(magick=>'xpm');
my $blob = $magick->ImageToBlob();
$pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_xpm_data ($blob);

i get this error: 
GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Inline XPM data is broken: Invalid XPM header at
+ tk-photo.pl line 9.
[download]

i want to put the picture loaded by imagemagick into memory, then the memory is read by a gdk pixbuf. also, if my picture is big (2000x2000 pixels) i think it would be very slow to convert it into xpm format... any other ideas to get image data from image magick using gdk pixbuf without writing to disk. tnx!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
