Load Gdk Pixbuf from string

in my program I want to use an image file without it being present on the local hard drive.

So, I used xxd -i to generate an unsigned char[] containing the image data and embedded this in my program.

But now I am stuck trying to load a Gdk::Pixbuf (or a Gtk Image) from this, since I dont seem to find a function which could do that.

That sounds like a job for Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_data.

Note that an array like that is not a string, which might explain why you had problems finding this.

It's in the "Image Data in Memory" category which isn't that hidden, on the other hand.

EDIT2: Changed to the same function's gtkmm API wrapper, after comment.
