### Constructor

# GdkPixbuf PixbufAnimationnew_from_stream

deprecated: 2.44 since: 2.28

#### Declaration [src]

    GdkPixbufAnimation*
    gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_stream (
      GInputStream* stream,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Creates a new animation by loading it from an input stream.

The file format is detected automatically.

If `NULL` is returned, then `error` will be set.

The `cancellable` can be used to abort the operation from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned. Other possible errors are in the `GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR` and `G_IO_ERROR` domains.

The stream is not closed.

Available since: 2.28

Deprecated since: 2.44

Use a different image loading library for animatable assets.

#### Parameters

`stream`

  Type: `GInputStream`

  A `GInputStream` to load the pixbuf from.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`cancellable`

  Type: `GCancellable`

  Optional `GCancellable` object.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the constructor if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `GdkPixbufAnimation`

A newly-created animation.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The return value can be `NULL`.
