# Gtk\_Arrow(3)

## NAME - Gtk\_Arrow

Arrow widget

## HEADER REQUIRED

**#include \<gtk--/arrow.h&gt;\>**

## BASE CLASSES

[Gtk\_Misc(3)](/Gtk_Misc/3.md)

## DESCRIPTION

This is intended for use where a directional arrow (in one of the four cardinal directions) is desired. As such, it has very limited functionality and basically only draws itself in a particular

direction and with a particular shadow type. The arrow widget will expand to fill all the space it is allocated.

## PROPERTIES

- *arrow\_type*

  Type: gint16\
   Set:  **set**()\

-

   Specifies which direction the arrow will point.

-

  Possible Values: {num GTK\_ARROW\_UP}, {num GTK\_ARROW\_DOWN},

  {num  GTK\_ARROW\_LEFT}, {num GTK\_ARROW\_RIGHT}\

- *shadow\_type*

  Type: gint16\
   Set:  **set**()\

-

   Specifies which direction the arrow will point.

-

  Possible Values: {num GTK\_SHADOW\_IN}, {num GTK\_SHADOW\_OUT}
