AnchorHints
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gdk





.. class:: AnchorHints
   :no-contents-entry:






Positioning hints for aligning a surface relative to a rectangle.

These hints determine how the surface should be positioned in the case that
the surface would fall off-screen if placed in its ideal position.

For example, :const:`~gi.repository.Gdk.AnchorHints.FLIP_X` will replace :const:`~gi.repository.Gdk.Gravity.NORTH_WEST` with
:const:`~gi.repository.Gdk.Gravity.NORTH_EAST` and vice versa if the surface extends beyond the left
or right edges of the monitor.

If :const:`~gi.repository.Gdk.AnchorHints.SLIDE_X` is set, the surface can be shifted horizontally to fit
on-screen. If :const:`~gi.repository.Gdk.AnchorHints.RESIZE_X` is set, the surface can be shrunken
horizontally to fit.

In general, when multiple flags are set, flipping should take precedence over
sliding, which should take precedence over resizing.
