Transfers image data from a gdk.Window and converts it to an RGB(A)
representation inside a gdk.Pixbuf In other words, copies
image data from a server-side drawable to a client-side RGB(A) buffer.
This allows you to efficiently read individual pixels on the client side.
This function will create an RGB pixbuf with 8 bits per channel with
the size specified by the width and height arguments scaled by the
scale factor of window. The pixbuf will contain an alpha channel if
the window contains one.
If the window is off the screen, then there is no image data in the
obscured/offscreen regions to be placed in the pixbuf. The contents of
portions of the pixbuf corresponding to the offscreen region are undefined.
If the window you’re obtaining data from is partially obscured by
other windows, then the contents of the pixbuf areas corresponding
to the obscured regions are undefined.
If the window is not mapped (typically because it’s iconified/minimized
or not on the current workspace), then NULL will be returned.
If memory can’t be allocated for the return value, NULL will be returned
instead.
(In short, there are several ways this function can fail, and if it fails
it returns NULL; so check the return value.)
