Implemented Interfaces

GtkGrid implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

GtkGrid is a container which arranges its child widgets in rows and columns. It is a very similar to GtkTable and GtkBox, but it consistently uses GtkWidget’s “margin” and “expand” properties instead of custom child properties, and it fully supports height-for-width geometry management.

Children are added using gtk_grid_attach(). They can span multiple rows or columns. It is also possible to add a child next to an existing child, using gtk_grid_attach_next_to(). The behaviour of GtkGrid when several children occupy the same grid cell is undefined.

GtkGrid can be used like a GtkBox by just using gtk_container_add(), which will place children next to each other in the direction determined by the “orientation” property.

CSS nodes

GtkGrid uses a single CSS node with name grid.

Functions

gtk_grid_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_grid_new (void);

Creates a new grid widget.

Returns

the new GtkGrid


gtk_grid_attach ()

void
gtk_grid_attach (GtkGrid *grid,
                 GtkWidget *child,
                 gint left,
                 gint top,
                 gint width,
                 gint height);

Adds a widget to the grid.

The position of child is determined by left and top . The number of “cells” that child will occupy is determined by width and height .

Parameters

grid

a GtkGrid

 

child

the widget to add

 

left

the column number to attach the left side of child to

 

top

the row number to attach the top side of child to

 

width

the number of columns that child will span

 

height

the number of rows that child will span

 

gtk_grid_attach_next_to ()

void
gtk_grid_attach_next_to (GtkGrid *grid,
                         GtkWidget *child,
                         GtkWidget *sibling,
                         GtkPositionType side,
                         gint width,
                         gint height);

Adds a widget to the grid.

The widget is placed next to sibling , on the side determined by side . When sibling is NULL, the widget is placed in row (for left or right placement) or column 0 (for top or bottom placement), at the end indicated by side .

Attaching widgets labeled [1], [2], [3] with sibling == NULL and side == GTK_POS_LEFT yields a layout of 3[1].

Parameters

grid

a GtkGrid

 

child

the widget to add

 

sibling

the child of grid that child will be placed next to, or NULL to place child at the beginning or end.

[allow-none]

side

the side of sibling that child is positioned next to

 

width

the number of columns that child will span

 

height

the number of rows that child will span

 

gtk_grid_get_child_at ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_grid_get_child_at (GtkGrid *grid,
                       gint left,
                       gint top);

Gets the child of grid whose area covers the grid cell whose upper left corner is at left , top .

Parameters

grid

a GtkGrid

 

left

the left edge of the cell

 

top

Returns

the child at the given position, or NULL.

void
gtk_grid_insert_row (GtkGrid *grid,
                     gint position);

                         GtkPositionType side);

Inserts a row or column at the specified position.

The new row or column is placed next to sibling , on the side determined by side . If side is GTK_POS_TOP or GTK_POS_BOTTOM, a row is inserted. If side is GTK_POS_LEFT of GTK_POS_RIGHT, a column is inserted.
