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