Gtk2::G...Geometry(3)

NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual for Gtk2::G...Geometry(3) — it's User Contributed Perl Documentation energy, and the actual package in the NAME section is Gtk2::Gdk::Geometry. it's giving geometry, it's giving Gdk, and we're gonna get through every single method together. no skips. 🫶

METHODS ✨

here's the full roster, queen. every signature stays exactly as written.

• geometry = Gtk2::Gdk::Geometry->new — makes a new geometry object, slay.
• scalar = $object->base_height ($newvalue=undef) — the base_height one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->base_width ($newvalue=undef) — the base_width one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• constrain_size — two call styles, both returning (new_width, new_height).

(new_width, new_height) = $geometry->constrain_size ($width, $height)
(new_width, new_height) = $geometry->constrain_size ($flags, $width,
       $height)

• ... (list)
• $flags (Gtk2::Gdk::WindowHints) optional, usually inferred from $geometry

the $flags argument is the one that describes which fields in the geometry are valid, and it's optional. if you omit it, it will be inferred from the geometry itself. periodt.

• scalar = $object->gravity ($newvalue=undef) — the gravity one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->height_inc ($newvalue=undef) — the height_inc one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->max_aspect ($newvalue=undef) — the max_aspect one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->max_height ($newvalue=undef) — the max_height one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->max_width ($newvalue=undef) — the max_width one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->min_aspect ($newvalue=undef) — the min_aspect one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->min_height ($newvalue=undef) — the min_height one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->min_width ($newvalue=undef) — the min_width one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->width_inc ($newvalue=undef) — the width_inc one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
• scalar = $object->win_gravity ($newvalue=undef) — the win_gravity one, with optional $newvalue.
  • $newvalue (scalar)
