BASE CLASSES

DESCRIPTION

Gtk_Table is one of the primary methods for construction of grouped widgets. It consists of a set of lattice points to to which widgets can be attached. There are {} lattice points vertically and (columns+1) lattice points horizontally. Lattice points start counting from 0. Lattice points can either be specified to be homogeneous
meaning equally spaced or not homogeneous meaning each cell should be calculated based on the widgets contained in the row and column. Homogeneous defaults to FALSE.

Widgets can be attached to the table at by specifying the top, bottom, left and right points corresponding to upper, lefthand lattice point and the lower, righthand lattice point with the - widget should span. Widgets can either be contained in a cell or may span cells. A number of options control the resizing behavior of widgets contained in the table.

Packing options:

There are a number of packing objections that can be specified

when adding a widget. With GTK_EXPAND, the lattice is

allowed to grow to fill space. With GTK_SHRINK, the lattice

is allowed to shrink when resized. It is also possible to specify the behaviour of the widgets allocation within the table. The

flag GTK_FILL declares the widget should grow to fill lattice. If this is not set any extra space is used as padding. The default is GTK_FILL and GTK_EXPAND.

The table size is calculated based on the size of the widgets contained within and the restrictions imposed by specified options.

Padding and spacing can be used to allow some dead space between widgets in the table. Padding is added on either side of a widget, while spacing is placed between widgets.

The other generic packing widgets are: Gtk_Box, Gtk_HBox, Gtk_VBox

PUBLIC MEMBER DESCRIPTIONS

void Gtk_Table::attach (const Gtk_Widget &child, guint left_attach, guint right_attach, guint top_attach, guint bottom_attach, gint xoptions=(GTK_FILL|GTK_EXPAND), gint yoptions=(GTK_FILL|GTK_EXPAND), gint xpadding=0, gint ypadding=0);

Binds a widget to a set of lattice points. .
At minumum specification of the lattice points is required. Additionally, the cell options as described above and paddings

may be specified. Default paddings are 0 pixels in both dimensions.

void Gtk_Table::resize (guint rows, guint columns);: (Gtk 1.1) This function allows for dynamic resizing of a Table.

void Gtk_Table::attach_defaults (const Gtk_Widget &child, gint left_attach, gint right_attach, gint top_attach, gint bottom_attach);: (obsolete) use attach().
attach_defaults is now obsolete as we have default arguments for attach().

void Gtk_Table::set_row_spacing (gint row, gint spacing);: This function sets the number of pixels to appear between one row of cells and the next. row is the lattice row counted without the edges starting from 0. Therefore, row 0 would denote between the first and second row of cells. row has a range from 0 and (rows-2) Default spacing is 0 pixels.

void Gtk_Table::set_col_spacing (gint column, gint spacing);

This function sets the number of pixels to appear between one column of cells and the next. column is the

lattice column counted without the edges starting from 0. Therefore,

column 0 would denote between the first and second row of cells. column has a range from 0 and (columns-2). Default spacing is 0 pixels.

void Gtk_Table::set_row_spacings (gint spacing);: This function sets the number of pixels to a appear between every row of cells. Default is 0 pixels.

void Gtk_Table::set_col_spacings (gint spacing);: This function sets the number of pixels to a appear between every column of cells. Default is 0 pixels.
