Describes the image data representation used by a gtk.Image If you want to get the image from the widget, you can only get the currently-stored representation. e.g. if the Image.getStorageType returns GTK_IMAGE_PIXBUF, then you can call Image.getPixbuf but not Image.getStock. For empty images, you can request any storage type (call any of the "get" functions), but they will all return NULL values.
