Detailed Description

Abstract base clase for Gtk::HScale and Gtk::VScale.

A Gtk::Scale is a slider control used to select a numeric value. To use it, you'll probably want to investigate the methods on its base class, Gtk::Range, in addition to the methods for Gtk::Scale itself. To set the value of a scale, you would normally use set_value(). To detect changes to the value, you would normally use signal_value_changed().

The Gtk::Scale widget is an abstract class, used only for deriving the subclasses Gtk::HScale and Gtk::VScale, so you should instantiate them instead.

Gtk::Scalewrap (GtkScale* object, bool take_copy=false)
 
Parameters:
object The C instance

virtual Gtk::Scale::~Scale (  )  [virtual]

Gtk::Scale::Scale (  )  [protected]


Member Function Documentation

virtual int Gtk::Scale::calc_digits_ ( double  step  )  const [protected, virtual]

The position in which the value is displayed.

int Gtk::Scale::get_digits (  )  const

Get the number of decimal digits.

bool Gtk::Scale::get_draw_value (  )  const

Get whether the current value is displayed as a string next to the slider.

Glib::RefPtr<const Pango::Layout> Gtk::Scale::get_layout (  )  const

Gets the Pango::Layout used to display the scale.

The returned object is owned by the scale so does not need to be freed by the caller.

Returns:
The Pango::Layout for this scale, or 0 if the draw_value property is false.
.

Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Layout> Gtk::Scale::get_layout (  ) 

Gets the Pango::Layout used to display the scale.

The returned object is owned by the scale so does not need to be freed by the caller.

Returns:
The Pango::Layout for this scale, or 0 if the draw_value property is false.
.

void Gtk::Scale::get_layout_offsets ( int &  x,
int &  y 
) const

Obtains the coordinates where the scale will draw the Pango::Layout representing the text in the scale.

Remember when using the Pango::Layout function you need to convert to and from pixels using PANGO_PIXELS() or Pango::SCALE.

If the draw_value property is false, the return values are undefined.

Parameters:
x Location to store X offset of layout, or 0.
y Location to store Y offset of layout, or 0.

PositionType Gtk::Scale::get_value_pos (  )  const

Get the position in which the value is displayed.

const GtkScale* Gtk::Scale::gobj (  )  const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Range.

Reimplemented in Gtk::VScale, and Gtk::HScale.

GtkScale* Gtk::Scale::gobj (  )  [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Range.

Reimplemented in Gtk::VScale, and Gtk::HScale.

void Gtk::Scale::set_digits ( int  digits  ) 

Set the number of decimal digits.

This also causes the adjustment to be rounded off so the retrieved value matches the value the user sees. Setting digits to 1 gives for example 1.0, 2 gives 1.00, etc.

void Gtk::Scale::set_draw_value ( bool  draw_value = true  ) 

Set whether the current value is displayed as a string next to the slider.

void Gtk::Scale::set_value_pos ( PositionType  pos  ) 

Set the position in which the value is displayed.

Glib::SignalProxy1< Glib::ustring,double > Gtk::Scale::signal_format_value (  ) 

Determines how the value is formatted.

This can be used to connect a custom function for determining how the value is formatted. The function (or function object) is given a the value as a double and should return the representation of it as a Glib::ustring.

Prototype:
Glib::ustring format_value(double value)


Friends And Related Function Documentation

Gtk::Scale* wrap ( GtkScale *  object,
bool  take_copy = false 
) [related]

Parameters:
object The C instance

Parameters:
take_copy False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns:
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
