[maemo-developers] GtkPixbuf from Char buffer

[From: Daniil Ivanov]

Hello!

  One way is to create GdkPixbufLoader and feed your image with
gdk_pixbuf_loader_write.
  It will parse it and give you GdkPixbuf.

  Another way is to save data into temporary file and do
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file ().

Thanks, Daniil.
