Description [src]
abstract class Gtk.CellArea : GObject.InitiallyUnowned
implements Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.CellLayout {
/* No available fields */
}
An abstract class for laying out GtkCellRenderer
s
The GtkCellArea
is an abstract class for GtkCellLayout
widgets (also referred to as “layouting widgets”) to interface with
an arbitrary number of GtkCellRenderer
s and interact with the user
for a given GtkTreeModel
row.
The cell area handles events, focus navigation, drawing and size requests and allocations for a given row of data.
Usually users dont have to interact with the GtkCellArea
directly
unless they are implementing a cell-layouting widget themselves.
Requesting area sizes
As outlined in
GtkWidget’s geometry management section,
GTK uses a height-for-width
geometry management system to compute the sizes of widgets and user
interfaces. GtkCellArea
uses the same semantics to calculate the
size of an area for an arbitrary number of GtkTreeModel
rows.
When requesting the size of a cell area one needs to calculate
the size for a handful of rows, and this will be done differently by
different layouting widgets. For instance a GtkTreeViewColumn
always lines up the areas from top to bottom while a GtkIconView
on the other hand might enforce that all areas received the same
width and wrap the areas around, requesting height for more cell
areas when allocated less width.
It’s also important for areas to maintain some cell
alignments with areas rendered for adjacent rows (cells can
appear “columnized” inside an area even when the size of
cells are different in each row). For this reason the GtkCellArea
uses a GtkCellAreaContext
object to store the alignments
and sizes along the way (as well as the overall largest minimum
and natural size for all the rows which have been calculated
with the said context).
The GtkCellAreaContext
is an opaque object specific to the
GtkCellArea
which created it (see gtk_cell_area_create_context()
).
The owning cell-layouting widget can create as many contexts as
it wishes to calculate sizes of rows which should receive the
same size in at least one orientation (horizontally or vertically),
However, it’s important that the same GtkCellAreaContext
which
was used to request the sizes for a given GtkTreeModel
row be
used when rendering or processing events for that row.
In order to request the width of all the rows at the root level
of a GtkTreeModel
one would do the following:
GtkTreeIter iter;
int minimum_width;
int natural_width;
valid = gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (model, &iter);
while (valid)
{
gtk_cell_area_apply_attributes (area, model, &iter, FALSE, FALSE);
gtk_cell_area_get_preferred_width (area, context, widget, NULL, NULL);
valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_next (model, &iter);
}
gtk_cell_area_context_get_preferred_width (context, &minimum_width, &natural_width);
Note that in this example it’s not important to observe the
returned minimum and natural width of the area for each row
unless the cell-layouting object is actually interested in the
widths of individual rows. The overall width is however stored
in the accompanying GtkCellAreaContext
object and can be consulted
at any time.
This can be useful since GtkCellLayout
widgets usually have to
support requesting and rendering rows in treemodels with an
exceedingly large amount of rows. The GtkCellLayout
widget in
that case would calculate the required width of the rows in an
idle or timeout source (see g_timeout_add()
) and when the widget
is requested its actual width in Gtk.WidgetClass.measure
it can simply consult the width accumulated so far in the
GtkCellAreaContext
object.
A simple example where rows are rendered from top to bottom and take up the full width of the layouting widget would look like:
static void
foo_get_preferred_width (GtkWidget *widget,
int *minimum_size,
int *natural_size)
{
Foo *self = FOO (widget);
FooPrivate *priv = foo_get_instance_private (self);
foo_ensure_at_least_one_handfull_of_rows_have_been_requested (self);
gtk_cell_area_context_get_preferred_width (priv->context, minimum_size, natural_size);
}
In the above example the Foo
widget has to make sure that some
row sizes have been calculated (the amount of rows that Foo
judged
was appropriate to request space for in a single timeout iteration)
before simply returning the amount of space required by the area via
the GtkCellAreaContext
.
Requesting the height for width (or width for height) of an area is
a similar task except in this case the GtkCellAreaContext
does not
store the data (actually, it does not know how much space the layouting
widget plans to allocate it for every row. It’s up to the layouting
widget to render each row of data with the appropriate height and
width which was requested by the GtkCellArea
).
In order to request the height for width of all the rows at the
root level of a GtkTreeModel
one would do the following:
GtkTreeIter iter;
int minimum_height;
int natural_height;
int full_minimum_height = 0;
int full_natural_height = 0;
valid = gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (model, &iter);
while (valid)
{
gtk_cell_area_apply_attributes (area, model, &iter, FALSE, FALSE);
gtk_cell_area_get_preferred_height_for_width (area, context, widget,
width, &minimum_height, &natural_height);
if (width_is_for_allocation)
cache_row_height (&iter, minimum_height, natural_height);
full_minimum_height += minimum_height;
full_natural_height += natural_height;
valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_next (model, &iter);
}
Note that in the above example we would need to cache the heights returned for each row so that we would know what sizes to render the areas for each row. However we would only want to really cache the heights if the request is intended for the layouting widgets real allocation.
In some cases the layouting widget is requested the height for an
arbitrary for_width, this is a special case for layouting widgets
who need to request size for tens of thousands of rows. For this
case it’s only important that the layouting widget calculate
one reasonably sized chunk of rows and return that height
synchronously. The reasoning here is that any layouting widget is
at least capable of synchronously calculating enough height to fill
the screen height (or scrolled window height) in response to a single
call to Gtk.WidgetClass.measure
. Returning
a perfect height for width that is larger than the screen area is
inconsequential since after the layouting receives an allocation
from a scrolled window it simply continues to drive the scrollbar
values while more and more height is required for the row heights
that are calculated in the background.
Rendering Areas
Once area sizes have been acquired at least for the rows in the
visible area of the layouting widget they can be rendered at
Gtk.WidgetClass.snapshot
time.
A crude example of how to render all the rows at the root level runs as follows:
GtkAllocation allocation;
GdkRectangle cell_area = { 0, };
GtkTreeIter iter;
int minimum_width;
int natural_width;
gtk_widget_get_allocation (widget, &allocation);
cell_area.width = allocation.width;
valid = gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (model, &iter);
while (valid)
{
cell_area.height = get_cached_height_for_row (&iter);
gtk_cell_area_apply_attributes (area, model, &iter, FALSE, FALSE);
gtk_cell_area_render (area, context, widget, cr,
&cell_area, &cell_area, state_flags, FALSE);
cell_area.y += cell_area.height;
valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_next (model, &iter);
}
Note that the cached height in this example really depends on how
the layouting widget works. The layouting widget might decide to
give every row its minimum or natural height or, if the model content
is expected to fit inside the layouting widget without scrolling, it
would make sense to calculate the allocation for each row at
the time the widget is allocated using gtk_distribute_natural_allocation()
.
Handling Events and Driving Keyboard Focus
Passing events to the area is as simple as handling events on any
normal widget and then passing them to the gtk_cell_area_event()
API as they come in. Usually GtkCellArea
is only interested in
button events, however some customized derived areas can be implemented
who are interested in handling other events. Handling an event can
trigger the GtkCellArea::focus-changed
signal to fire; as well
as GtkCellArea::add-editable
in the case that an editable cell
was clicked and needs to start editing. You can call
gtk_cell_area_stop_editing()
at any time to cancel any cell editing
that is currently in progress.
The GtkCellArea
drives keyboard focus from cell to cell in a way
similar to GtkWidget
. For layouting widgets that support giving
focus to cells it’s important to remember to pass GTK_CELL_RENDERER_FOCUSED
to the area functions for the row that has focus and to tell the
area to paint the focus at render time.
Layouting widgets that accept focus on cells should implement the
Gtk.WidgetClass.focus
virtual method. The layouting widget is always
responsible for knowing where GtkTreeModel
rows are rendered inside
the widget, so at Gtk.WidgetClass.focus
time the layouting widget
should use the GtkCellArea
methods to navigate focus inside the area
and then observe the GtkDirectionType
to pass the focus to adjacent
rows and areas.
A basic example of how the Gtk.WidgetClass.focus
virtual method
should be implemented:
static gboolean
foo_focus (GtkWidget *widget,
GtkDirectionType direction)
{
Foo *self = FOO (widget);
FooPrivate *priv = foo_get_instance_private (self);
int focus_row = priv->focus_row;
gboolean have_focus = FALSE;
if (!gtk_widget_has_focus (widget))
gtk_widget_grab_focus (widget);
valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_nth_child (priv->model, &iter, NULL, priv->focus_row);
while (valid)
{
gtk_cell_area_apply_attributes (priv->area, priv->model, &iter, FALSE, FALSE);
if (gtk_cell_area_focus (priv->area, direction))
{
priv->focus_row = focus_row;
have_focus = TRUE;
break;
}
else
{
if (direction == GTK_DIR_RIGHT ||
direction == GTK_DIR_LEFT)
break;
else if (direction == GTK_DIR_UP ||
direction == GTK_DIR_TAB_BACKWARD)
{
if (focus_row == 0)
break;
else
{
focus_row--;
valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_nth_child (priv->model, &iter, NULL, focus_row);
}
}
else
{
if (focus_row == last_row)
break;
else
{
focus_row++;
valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_next (priv->model, &iter);
}
}
}
}
return have_focus;
}
Note that the layouting widget is responsible for matching the
GtkDirectionType
values to the way it lays out its cells.
Cell Properties
The GtkCellArea
introduces cell properties for GtkCellRenderer
s.
This provides some general interfaces for defining the relationship
cell areas have with their cells. For instance in a GtkCellAreaBox
a cell might “expand” and receive extra space when the area is allocated
more than its full natural request, or a cell might be configured to “align”
with adjacent rows which were requested and rendered with the same
GtkCellAreaContext
.
Use gtk_cell_area_class_install_cell_property()
to install cell
properties for a cell area class and gtk_cell_area_class_find_cell_property()
or gtk_cell_area_class_list_cell_properties()
to get information about
existing cell properties.
To set the value of a cell property, use gtk_cell_area_cell_set_property()
,
gtk_cell_area_cell_set()
or gtk_cell_area_cell_set_valist()
. To obtain
the value of a cell property, use gtk_cell_area_cell_get_property()
gtk_cell_area_cell_get()
or gtk_cell_area_cell_get_valist()
.

class.copy_context: GtkCellAreaContext* (* copy_context) ( GtkCellArea* area, GtkCellAreaContext* context )
Creates a new
GtkCellAreaContext
in the same state as the passedcontext

This allows an area to tell its layouting widget whether it prefers to be allocated in
GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH
orGTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT
mode.get_preferred_width: void (* get_preferred_width) ( GtkCellArea* area, GtkCellAreaContext* context, GtkWidget* widget, int* minimum_width, int* natural_width )
Calculates the minimum and natural width of the areas cells with the current attributes applied while considering the particular layouting details of the said

that were previously installed on theGtkCellAreaClass
with gtk_cell_area_class_install_cell_property().get_cell_property: void (* get_cell_property) ( GtkCellArea* area, GtkCellRenderer* renderer, guint property_id, GValue* value, GParamSpec* pspec )
This should be implemented to report the values of child cell properties for a given child
GtkCellRenderer
.focus: gboolean (* focus) ( GtkCellArea* area, GtkDirectionType direction )
This virtual method should be implemented to navigate focus from cell to cell inside the
GtkCellArea
. TheGtkCellArea
should move focus from cell to cell inside the area and returnFALSE
if focus logically leaves the area with the following exceptions: When the area contains no activatable cells, the entire area receives focus. Focus should not be given to cells that are actually “focus siblings” of other sibling cells (see gtk_cell_area_get_focus_from_sibling()). Focus is set by calling gtk_cell_area_set_focus_cell().is_activatable: gboolean (* is_activatable) ( GtkCellArea* area )
Returns whether the
GtkCellArea
can respond toGtkCellAreaClass.activate()
, usually this does not need to be implemented since the base class takes care of this however it can be enhanced if theGtkCellArea
subclass can handle activation in other ways than activating itsGtkCellRenderers
.activate: gboolean (* activate) ( GtkCellArea* area, GtkCellAreaContext* context, GtkWidget* widget, const GdkRectangle* cell_area, GtkCellRendererState flags, gboolean edit_only )
This is called when the layouting widget rendering the
GtkCellArea
activates the focus cell (see gtk_cell_area_get_focus_cell()).
Virtual methods
Gtk.CellAreaClass.activate
Activates area
, usually by activating the currently focused
cell, however some subclasses which embed widgets in the area
can also activate a widget if it currently has the focus.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.add
Adds renderer
to area
with the default child cell properties.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.apply_attributes
Applies any connected attributes to the renderers in
area
by pulling the values from tree_model
.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.copy_context
This is sometimes needed for cases where rows need to share alignments in one orientation but may be separately grouped in the opposing orientation.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.create_context
Creates a GtkCellArea
Context to be used with area
for
all purposes. GtkCellArea
Context stores geometry information
for rows for which it was operated on, it is important to use
the same context for the same row of data at all times (i.e.
one should render and handle events with the same GtkCellArea
Context
which was used to request the size of those rows of data).
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.focus
This should be called by the area
’s owning layout widget
when focus is to be passed to area
, or moved within area
for a given direction
and row data.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.foreach_alloc
Calls callback
for every GtkCellRenderer
in area
with the
allocated rectangle inside cell_area
.
Gtk.CellAreaClass.get_cell_property
This should be implemented to report the values of
child cell properties for a given child GtkCellRenderer
.
Gtk.CellAreaClass.get_preferred_height
Retrieves a cell area’s initial minimum and natural height.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.get_preferred_height_for_width
Retrieves a cell area’s minimum and natural height if it would be given
the specified width
.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.get_preferred_width
Retrieves a cell area’s initial minimum and natural width.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.get_preferred_width_for_height
Retrieves a cell area’s minimum and natural width if it would be given
the specified height
.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.get_request_mode
Gets whether the area prefers a height-for-width layout or a width-for-height layout.
Gtk.CellAreaClass.is_activatable
Returns whether the area can do anything when activated,
after applying new attributes to area
.
deprecated: 4.10
Gtk.CellAreaClass.set_cell_property
This should be implemented to handle changes in child
cell properties for a given GtkCellRenderer
that were previously
installed on the GtkCellAreaClass
with gtk_cell_area_class_install_cell_property().
Gtk.CellAreaClass.snapshot
Snapshots area
’s cells according to area
’s layout onto at
the given coordinates.
deprecated: 4.10
Class methods
gtk_cell_area_class_find_cell_property
Finds a cell property of a cell area class by name.
deprecated: 4.10
gtk_cell_area_class_install_cell_property
Installs a cell property on a cell area class.
deprecated: 4.10
gtk_cell_area_class_list_cell_properties
Returns all cell properties of a cell area class.
deprecated: 4.10
