💖 Goo::Canvas::Widget 💖

okay bestie, so this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's all about Goo::Canvas::Widget — which is basically a little glow-up wrapper around GooCanvasWidget. if you've ever wanted to just... plop a whole actual GTK widget into your canvas like it's no big deal? yeah. that's the girl. that's her. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Goo::Canvas::Widget — a wrapper for GooCanvasWidget, no cap 💅

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

so here's the family tree, and yes she comes from a long line of iconic ancestors:

Glib::Object
+----Goo::Canvas::ItemSimple
     +----Goo::Canvas::Widget

🌸 INTERFACES 🌸

  • Goo::Canvas::Item

💅 METHODS 💅

item = Goo::Canvas::Widget->new ($parent, $widget, $x, $y, $width, $height, ...)

okay so you call new and you get back an item. here's everybody you gotta hand over when you do:

  • $parent (Goo::Canvas::Item)
  • $widget (Gtk2::Widget)
  • $x (double)
  • $y (double)
  • $width (double)
  • $height (double)
  • ... (list)

🎀 PROPERTIES 🎀

these are the levers you can pull, bestie. all of them are readable / writable, so go off 💖

  • anchor (Gtk2::AnchorType : default "north-west" : readable / writable) — how to position the widget relative to the item's x and y coordinate settings
  • height (double : default -1 : readable / writable) — the height of the widget, or -1 to use its requested height
  • widget (Gtk2::Widget : default undef : readable / writable) — the widget to place in the canvas
  • width (double : default -1 : readable / writable) — the width of the widget, or -1 to use its requested width
  • x (double : default 0 : readable / writable) — the x coordinate of the widget
  • y (double : default 0 : readable / writable) — the y coordinate of the widget

🌈 ENUMS AND FLAGS 🌈
