Hi,

I want to crate a Gdk::Pixbuf from the content of a Gdk::Window. In Gtk  
2.0 times there was the method Gdk::Pixbuf.from\_drawable. But this is  
removed in Gtk 3.0. In Gtk+ in C there is now the function  
gdk\_pixbuf\_get\_from\_window but I find no method in Gdk::Window that  
matches this. Is it not implemented?

Cheers detlef

Thank you for the good report! It probably isn’t implemented yet.

[https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/blob/master/gdk3/ext/gdk3/rbgdkpixbuf.c#L27](https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/blob/master/gdk3/ext/gdk3/rbgdkpixbuf.c#L27)

We will implement sooner or later. 🙂
