Gtk2::Orientable(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Orientable — bestie, it's the interface for flippable widgets 💅 like literally widgets that can go this way or that way and you get to pick, no cap.

---

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

okay so the family tree is giving very much:

Glib::Interface
+----Gtk2::Orientable

so it's an interface sitting under Glib::Interface, and Gtk2::Orientable is its main character descendant ✨

---

🌸 METHODS 🌸

orientation = $orientable->get_orientation

getter era 💖 you call it and it hands you back the current orientation. iconic.

$orientable->set_orientation ($orientation)

setter era 🎀 you pass in the orientation you want and it just... does that. slay.

• $orientation (Gtk2::Orientation) — yeah that's the one and only arg, and it's gotta be a Gtk2::Orientation value, periodt.

---

💖 PROPERTIES 💖

• 'orientation' (Gtk2::Orientation : default "horizontal" : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — this is the orientation of the orientable, the whole point of the whole thing tbh. it's readable AND writable, it's private, it's got a static-nick and a static-blurb, and if you don't say anything it defaults to "horizontal" 🫶

---

🌈 ENUMS AND FLAGS 🌈

enum Gtk2::Orientation

the two vibes you can pick from, and that's it, there is no third option bestie:

• 'horizontal' / GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL — side to side, left to right, the classic 💫
• 'vertical' / GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL — up and down, top to bottom, also iconic 💫
