        print $icon->save_stream;

API¶

load, load_image BASE64_STRING, %OPTIONS

Decodes BASE64_STRING and tries to load an image from it. Returns image reference(s) on success, or "undef, ERROR_STRING" on failure.

load_icon BASE64_STRING, %OPTION

Same as "load_image" but returns a "Prima::Icon" instance.

save IMAGE_OR_ICON, %OPTIONS

Saves an image to a datastream and encodes it in base64. Unless the $OPTIONS{codecID} or "$image-"{extras}->{codecID}> field is set, tries to deduce the best codec for the job.

Returns the encoded content on success, or "undef, ERROR_STRING" on failure.
