💖 Gtk2::SizeGroup — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this page is from the Gtk2::SizeGroup(3) manual, living under User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally just a Perl wrapper for GtkSizeGroup. yes queen. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gtk2::SizeGroup — it's a wrapper for GtkSizeGroup, that's the whole vibe 💅

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

the family tree, and she is not the root:

  Glib::Object
  +----Gtk2::SizeGroup

✨ INTERFACES ✨

she also does this:

  Gtk2::Buildable

🎀 METHODS 🎀

sizegroup = Gtk2::SizeGroup->new ($mode)

make a brand new one, bestie ✨

  • $mode (Gtk2::SizeGroupMode) — the mode, obviously. you'll meet it again below.

$size_group->add_widget ($widget)

yeet a widget into the group so she gets sized along with everyone else 🫶

👑 PROPERTIES 👑

  • 'ignore-hidden' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — if TRUE, unmapped widgets are ignored when determining the size of the group. iconic behaviour, honestly.
  • 'mode' (Gtk2::SizeGroupMode : default "horizontal" : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — the directions in which the size group affects the requested sizes of its component widgets. directions, bestie. she's got range 🌈

🌟 ENUMS AND FLAGS 🌟

pick your fighter:

  • 'none' / GTK_SIZE_GROUP_NONE
  • 'horizontal' / GTK_SIZE_GROUP_HORIZONTAL
