### Method

# Clutter Image set_area

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    clutter_image_set_area (
      ClutterImage* image,
      const guint8* data,
      CoglPixelFormat pixel_format,
      const cairo_rectangle_int_t* rect,
      guint row_stride,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Sets the image data to be display by `image`, using `rect` to indicate the position and size of the image data to be set.

If the `image` does not have any image data set when this function is called, a new texture will be created with the size of the width and height of the rectangle, i.e. calling this function on a newly created `ClutterImage` will be the equivalent of calling clutter_image_set_data().

If the image data was successfully loaded, the `image` will be invalidated.

In case of error, the `error` value will be set, and this function will return `FALSE`.

The image data is copied in texture memory.

#### Parameters

`data`

  Type: An array of `guint8`

  The image data, as an array of bytes.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`pixel_format`

  Type: `CoglPixelFormat`

  The Cogl pixel format of the image data.

`rect`

  Type: `cairo_rectangle_int_t`

  A rectangle indicating the area that should be set.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`row_stride`

  Type: `guint`

  The length of each row inside `data`.

`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 left initialized to `NULL` by the method 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: `gboolean`

`TRUE` if the image data was successfully loaded, and `FALSE` otherwise.
