GtkCenterBox

GtkCenterBox — A centering container

Functions

Types and Values

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

The GtkCenterBox widget arranges three children in a horizontal or vertical arrangement, keeping the middle child centered as well as possible.

To add children to GtkCenterBox, use gtk_center_box_set_start_widget(), gtk_center_box_set_center_widget() and gtk_center_box_set_end_widget().

The sizing and positioning of children can be influenced with the align and expand properties of the children.

GtkCenterBox as GtkBuildable

The GtkCenterBox implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing children in the 3 positions by specifying “start”, “center” or “end” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element.


CSS nodes

GtkCenterBox uses a single CSS node with name box.

In horizontal orientation, the nodes of the children are always arranged from left to right. So :first-child will always select the leftmost child, regardless of text direction.

In vertical orientation, the are arranged from top to bottom.
