in any case i made that for another things,

the main thing is to have a tool to convert image files into the gdk
format :-)
how do you make that ?



A full gtk developer install includes a tool called :

 gdk-pixbuf-csource

That takes as input an image in a "standard" format such as PNG and produces 
a C declaration
in the appropriate format. For now I am just building this C file and pragma 
Importing the resulting
variable for use in the Ada side.

See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-creating.html

which talks about running this utility and making use of the result.

See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-creating.html

Which contains the API elements used in support of creating the
 gdk-pixbuf-csource
utility.
