### Class

# Meta BackgroundImageCache

#### Description [src]

    final class Meta.BackgroundImageCache : GObject.Object {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`MetaBackgroundImageCache` caches loading of textures for backgrounds; there’s actually nothing background specific about it, other than it is tuned to work well for large images as typically are used for backgrounds.

#### Instance methods

###### meta_background_image_cache_load

Loads an image to use as a background, or returns a reference to an image that is already in the process of loading or loaded. In either case, what is returned is a `MetaBackgroundImage` which can be dereferenced to get a `CoglTexture`. If `meta_background_image_is_loaded()` returns `TRUE`, the background is loaded, otherwise the MetaBackgroundImage::loaded signal will be emitted exactly once. The ‘loaded’ state means that the loading process finished, whether it succeeded or failed.

###### meta_background_image_cache_purge

Remove an entry from the cache; this would be used if monitoring showed that the file changed.
