✨ Gtk2::VBox — okay bestie, let's talk vertical boxes ✨

So this is the perl manual page for Gtk2::VBox, and it's basically a lil wrapper around GtkVBox 💖 (that's the manual name, it lives at Gtk2::VBox(3), and yes it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, we love her).

🌈 HIERARCHY

It's giving royalty, fr fr — look at this family tree, every single ancestor is here:

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Box
                         +----Gtk2::VBox

Six levels deep and still slaying 💅

🦋 INTERFACES

She doesn't just inherit, she also does these, iconic behavior:

  • Glib::Object::_Unregistered::AtkImplementorIface
  • Gtk2::Buildable
  • Gtk2::Orientable

🎀 METHODS

widget = Gtk2::VBox->new ($homogeneous=0, $spacing=5)

The one and only constructor, and here's what you can hand her:

  • $homogeneous (boolean) — defaults to 0, meaning the children get to be their own size instead of all matching. Flip it if you want them all matching, bestie.
  • $spacing (integer) — defaults to 5, that's the lil gap between your kids. Personal space matters 🫶
