Method
GtkWidgetsize_request
deprecated: 3.0
Declaration [src]
void
gtk_widget_size_request (
GtkWidget* widget,
GtkRequisition* requisition
)
Description [src]
This function is typically used when implementing a GtkContainer
subclass. Obtains the preferred size of a widget. The container
uses this information to arrange its child widgets and decide what
size allocations to give them with gtk_widget_size_allocate().
You can also call this function from an application, with some caveats. Most notably, getting a size request requires the widget to be associated with a screen, because font information may be needed. Multihead-aware applications should keep this in mind.
Also remember that the size request is not necessarily the size a widget will actually be allocated.
Deprecated since: 3.0
Use gtk_widget_get_preferred_size() instead.
Parameters
