newFromFilename

Creates a new texture by loading an image from a file.

The file format is detected automatically. The supported formats are PNG, JPEG and TIFF, though more formats might be available.

If null is returned, then @error will be set.

This function is threadsafe, so that you can e.g. use GTask and method@Gio.Task.run_in_thread to avoid blocking the main thread while loading a big image.
