Class
GtkFlowBox
Description [src]
final class Gtk.FlowBox : Gtk.Widget {
/* No available fields */
}A GtkFlowBox puts child widgets in reflowing grid.
For instance, with the horizontal orientation, the widgets will be arranged from left to right, starting a new row under the previous row when necessary. Reducing the width in this case will require more rows, so a larger height will be requested.
Likewise, with the vertical orientation, the widgets will be arranged from top to bottom, starting a new column to the right when necessary. Reducing the height will require more columns, so a larger width will be requested.
The size request of a GtkFlowBox alone may not be what you expect;
if you need to be able to shrink it along both axes and dynamically
reflow its children, you may have to wrap it in a GtkScrolledWindow
to enable that.
The children of a GtkFlowBox can be dynamically sorted and filtered.
Although a GtkFlowBox must have only GtkFlowBoxChild children, you
can add any kind of widget to it via gtk_flow_box_insert(), and a
GtkFlowBoxChild widget will automatically be inserted between the box
and the widget.
Also see GtkListBox.
