BASE CLASSES

DESCRIPTION

Normally, a widget is allocated at least as much size as it requests. When a widget is allocated more size than it requests there is a question of how the widget should expand. By convention, most GTK widgets expand to fill their allocated space. Sometimes this behavior is not desired. The alignment widget allows the programmer to specify how a widget should expand and position itself to fill the area it is allocated.

PROPERTIES

xalign: Type: gfloat
Set: set()

: Specify how to position the child widget when it is not allocated all the space available to it. A value of 0.0 positions the widget to the left or top of its allocated space. A value of 1.0 positions the widget to the right or bottom of its allocated space. Specifying 0.5 will center the widget in its allocated space.

: Range: 0.0 to 1.0

yalign: Type: gfloat
Set: set()

: see xalign

xscale: Type: gfloat
Set: set()

: Specify how to scale the child widget. If the scale value is 0.0, the child widget is allocated exactly the size it requested in that dimension. If the scale value is 1.0, the child widget is allocated all of the space in a dimension. A scale value of 1.0 for both x and y is equivalent to not using an alignment widget.

: Range: 0.0 to 1.0

yscale: Type: gfloat
Set: set()

: see xscale
