Are there any gtk4 plugins in the planning?

[aprsa]

Hi all, I'm using pillow to manipulate RGBA images; I'd like to incorporate them into the gtk4 front-end and I can't find an elegant way to transfer data between PIL.Image and gtk.Image/gtk.Picture. I see that pillow already has QT and TK plugins but none for GTK. Are there any plans (or any known workarounds) to make the two exchange data?

There is no active plan for such functionality, no.

Searching, I found https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/-/issues/225

from PIL import Image
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk, GdkPixbuf, GLib
topgtkwindow = Gtk.Window( title = "TEST" )
topgtkwindow.connect( "destroy", Gtk.main_quit )
gtkimage = Gtk.Image()
topgtkwindow.add( gtkimage )
topgtkwindow.show_all()
pillowimage = Image.new( "RGB", (800,600) )
glibbytes = GLib.Bytes.new( pillowimage.tobytes() )
gdkpixbuf = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_data( glibbytes.get_data(), GdkPixbuf.Colorspace.RGB, False, 8, pillowimage.width, pillowimage.height, len( pillowimage.getbands() )*pillowimage.width, None, None )
gtkimage.set_from_pixbuf( gdkpixbuf )

Thanks for the quick response @radarhere! Yep, I found the same link, but gtk4 is moving away from pixbuf and I'm looking at Gdk.Texture.new_from_bytes() as a possible replacement. Should that be of any help to anyone, I'd be happy to post if/once I figure out how to make the two exchange the data nicely.
