Implemented Interfaces

GtkRuler implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

This widget is considered too specialized/little-used for GTK+, and will be removed in GTK 3. If your application needs this widget, feel free to use it, as the widget is useful in some applications; it's just not of general interest. However, we are not accepting new features for the widget, and it will move out of the GTK+ distribution.

The GTKRuler widget is a base class for horizontal and vertical rulers. Rulers are used to show the mouse pointer's location in a window. The ruler can either be horizontal or vertical on the window. Within the ruler a small triangle indicates the location of the mouse relative to the horizontal or vertical ruler. See GtkHRuler to learn how to create a new horizontal ruler. See GtkVRuler to learn how to create a new vertical ruler.

Functions

gtk_ruler_set_metric ()

void
gtk_ruler_set_metric (GtkRuler *ruler,
                      GtkMetricType metric);

gtk_ruler_set_metric has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code.

GtkRuler has been removed from GTK 3 for being unmaintained and too specialized. There is no replacement.

This calls the GTKMetricType to set the ruler to units defined. Available units are GTK_PIXELS, GTK_INCHES, or GTK_CENTIMETERS. The default unit of measurement is GTK_PIXELS.

Parameters

ruler

the gtkruler

 

metric

the unit of measurement

 

gtk_ruler_set_range ()

void
gtk_ruler_set_range (GtkRuler *ruler,
                     gdouble lower,
                     gdouble upper,
                     gdouble position,
                     gdouble max_size);

gtk_ruler_set_range is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This sets the range of the ruler.

Deprecated : 2.24: GtkRuler has been removed from GTK 3 for being unmaintained and too specialized. There is no replacement.

Parameters

ruler

the gtkruler

 

lower

the lower limit of the ruler

 

upper

the upper limit of the ruler

 

position

the mark on the ruler

 

max_size

the maximum size of the ruler used when calculating the space to leave for the text

 

gtk_ruler_get_metric ()

GtkMetricType
gtk_ruler_get_metric (GtkRuler *ruler);

gtk_ruler_get_metric is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Gets the units used for a GtkRuler. See gtk_ruler_set_metric().

Parameters

ruler

a GtkRuler

 

Returns

the units currently used for ruler

Deprecated : 2.24: GtkRuler has been removed from GTK 3 for being unmaintained and too specialized. There is no replacement.


gtk_ruler_get_range ()

void
gtk_ruler_get_range (GtkRuler *ruler,
                     gdouble *lower,
                     gdouble *upper,
                     gdouble *position,
                     gdouble *max_size);

gtk_ruler_get_range is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Retrieves values indicating the range and current position of a GtkRuler. See gtk_ruler_set_range().

Deprecated : 2.24: GtkRuler has been removed from GTK 3 for being unmaintained and too specialized. There is no replacement.

Parameters

ruler

a GtkRuler

 

lower

location to store lower limit of the ruler, or NULL.

[allow-none]

upper

location to store upper limit of the ruler, or NULL.

[allow-none]

position

location to store the current position of the mark on the ruler, or NULL.

[allow-none]

max_size

location to store the maximum size of the ruler used when calculating the space to leave for the text, or NULL.

 

Types and Values

struct GtkRuler

struct GtkRuler;

GtkRuler is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

All distances are in 1/72nd's of an inch. (According to Adobe thats a point, but points are really 1/72.27 in.)


struct GtkRulerMetric

struct GtkRulerMetric {
  gchar *metric_name;
  gchar *abbrev;
  /* This should be points_per_unit. This is the size of the unit
   * in 1/72nd's of an inch and has nothing to do with screen pixels */
  gdouble pixels_per_unit;
  gdouble ruler_scale[10];
  gint subdivide[5];        /* five possible modes of subdivision */
};

GtkRulerMetric has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code.

GtkRuler has been removed from GTK 3 for being unmaintained and too specialized. There is no replacement.

This should be points_per_unit. This is the size of the unit in 1/72nd's of an inch and has nothing to do with screen pixels.
