GtkOrientable

GtkOrientable — An interface for flippable widgets

Synopsis

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

                    GtkOrientable;
GtkOrientation      gtk_orientable_get_orientation      (GtkOrientable *orientable);
void                gtk_orientable_set_orientation      (GtkOrientable *orientable,
                                                         GtkOrientation orientation);

Description

The GtkOrientable interface is implemented by all widgets that can be oriented horizontally or vertically. Historically, such widgets have been realized as subclasses of a common base class (e.g GtkBox/GtkHBox/GtkVBox or GtkScale/GtkHScale/GtkVScale). GtkOrientable is more flexible in that it allows the orientation to be changed at runtime, allowing the widgets to 'flip'.

GtkOrientable was introduced in GTK+ 2.16.

gtk_orientable_set_orientation ()

void                gtk_orientable_set_orientation      (GtkOrientable *orientable,
                                                         GtkOrientation orientation);
