BoxLayout

class BoxLayout(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: LayoutManager, Object

Implemented Interfaces: Orientable

Constructors:

BoxLayout(**properties)
new(orientation:Gtk.Orientation) -> Gtk.LayoutManager

Constructors

class BoxLayout

classmethod new(orientation: Orientation) → LayoutManager

Creates a new GtkBoxLayout.

Parameters:: orientation – the orientation for the new layout

Methods

class BoxLayout

get_baseline_child() → int: Gets the value set by set_baseline_child().

Added in version 4.12.

get_baseline_position() → BaselinePosition: Gets the value set by set_baseline_position().

get_homogeneous() → bool: Returns whether the layout is set to be homogeneous.

get_spacing() → int: Returns the space that box_layout puts between children.

set_baseline_child(child: int) → None

Sets the index of the child that determines the baseline in vertical layout.

Added in version 4.12.

Parameters:: child – the child position, or -1

set_baseline_position(position: BaselinePosition) → None

Sets the baseline position of a box layout.

The baseline position affects only horizontal boxes with at least one baseline aligned child. If there is more vertical space available than requested, and the baseline is not allocated by the parent then the given position is used to allocate the baseline within the extra space available.

Parameters:: position – a GtkBaselinePosition

set_homogeneous(homogeneous: bool) → None

Sets whether the box layout will allocate the same size to all children.

Parameters:: homogeneous – True to set the box layout as homogeneous

set_spacing(spacing: int) → None

Sets how much spacing to put between children.

Parameters:: spacing – the spacing to apply between children

Properties

class BoxLayout

props.baseline_child: int

The child that determines the baseline of the box in vertical layout.

If the child does baseline positioning, then its baseline is lined up with the baseline of the box. If it doesn’t, then the bottom edge of the child is used.

Added in version 4.12.

props.baseline_position: BaselinePosition

The position of the allocated baseline within the extra space allocated to each child.

This property is only relevant for horizontal layouts containing at least one child with a baseline alignment.

props.homogeneous: bool: Whether the box layout should distribute the available space equally among the children.

props.spacing: int: The space to put between the children.
