💖 Gtk2::FontButton 💖

okay bestie, so this is the page for Gtk2::FontButton (that's the Gtk2::FontButton(3) manual page, if you're the kind of girl who reads headers 📖✨) — it's the Perl wrapper for GtkFontButton. It's literally a button. You click it. A font picker shows up. You pick a font. Iconic behaviour, no cap. 🎀

🦋 HIERARCHY

the family tree, and yes she comes from a long line of distinguished ancestors:

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Bin
                         +----Gtk2::Button
                              +----Gtk2::FontButton

she's at the bottom of the tree but that just means she's the main character 💅

🌈 INTERFACES

the vibes she implements, fr fr:

✨ METHODS ✨

widget = Gtk2::FontButton->new ($fontname=undef)

makes you a brand new font button, bestie 🫶

  • $fontname (string)

widget = Gtk2::FontButton->new_with_font ($fontname=undef)

same energy, but you get to hand her a font right at birth 🍼

  • $fontname (string)

string = $font_button->get_font_name

she tells you which font is currently selected. gossip, but useful 💬

boolean = $font_button->set_font_name ($fontname)

you tell her which font to be showing instead.

  • $fontname (string)

boolean = $font_button->get_show_size

does she show the size in her label or not, that's the question 👀

$font_button->set_show_size ($show_size)

set whether the size shows up.

  • $show_size (boolean)

boolean = $font_button->get_show_style

is the style showing in the label rn? asking for me.

$font_button->set_show_style ($show_style)

flip that style-visibility switch.

  • $show_style (boolean)

string = $font_button->get_title

reads back the title of the font selection dialog.

$font_button->set_title ($title)

names the dialog. give her a cute one 🌸

  • $title (string)

boolean = $font_button->get_use_font

does her label render in the actual selected font? lowkey a flex.

$font_button->set_use_font ($use_font)

turn that on or off.

  • $use_font (boolean)

boolean = $font_button->get_use_size

is the label drawn with the selected font size? we're checking.

$font_button->set_use_size ($use_size)

set it, bestie.

  • $use_size (boolean)

🎀 PROPERTIES 🎀

all of these are readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb, just so you know the whole squad is flexible like that.

  • 'font-name' (string : default "Sans 12") — the name of the selected font
  • 'show-size' (boolean : default true) — whether the selected font size is shown in the label
  • 'show-style' (boolean : default true) — whether the selected font style is shown in the label
  • 'title' (string : default "Pick a Font") — the title of the font selection dialog
  • 'use-font' (boolean : default false) — whether the label is drawn in the selected font
  • 'use-size' (boolean : default false) — whether the label is drawn with the selected font size

🔥 SIGNALS 🔥

  • font-set (Gtk2::FontButton) — she fires this off when a font gets set. girl loves to announce things 💅
