Implemented Interfaces

GtkScale implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

Functions

gtk_scale_set_digits ()

void
gtk_scale_set_digits (GtkScale *scale,
                      gint digits);

Sets the number of decimal places that are displayed in the value. Also causes the value of the adjustment to be rounded to this number of digits, so the retrieved value matches the displayed one, if “draw-value” is TRUE when the value changes. If you want to enforce rounding the value when “draw-value” is FALSE, you can set “round-digits” instead.

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

digits

the number of decimal places to display, e.g. use 1 to display 1.0, 2 to display 1.00, etc

 

gtk_scale_set_draw_value ()

void
gtk_scale_set_draw_value (GtkScale *scale,
                          gboolean draw_value);

Specifies whether the current value is displayed as a string next to the slider.

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

draw_value

TRUE to draw the value

 

gtk_scale_set_value_pos ()

void
gtk_scale_set_value_pos (GtkScale *scale,
                         GtkPositionType pos);

Sets the position in which the current value is displayed.

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

pos

the position in which the current value is displayed

 

gtk_scale_get_digits ()

gint
gtk_scale_get_digits (GtkScale *scale);

Gets the number of decimal places that are displayed in the value.

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

Returns

the number of decimal places that are displayed


gtk_scale_get_draw_value ()

gboolean
gtk_scale_get_draw_value (GtkScale *scale);

Returns whether the current value is displayed as a string next to the slider.

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

Returns

whether the current value is displayed as a string


gtk_scale_get_value_pos ()

GtkPositionType
gtk_scale_get_value_pos (GtkScale *scale);

Gets the position in which the current value is displayed.

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

Returns

the position in which the current value is displayed


gtk_scale_get_layout ()

PangoLayout *
gtk_scale_get_layout (GtkScale *scale);

Gets the PangoLayout used to display the scale. The returned object is owned by the scale so does not need to be freed by the caller.

Parameters

scale

A GtkScale

 

Returns

the PangoLayout for this scale, or NULL if the “draw-value” property is FALSE.

[transfer none]

Since: 2.4


gtk_scale_get_layout_offsets ()

void
gtk_scale_get_layout_offsets (GtkScale *scale,
                              gint *x,
                              gint *y);

Obtains the coordinates where the scale will draw the PangoLayout representing the text in the scale. Remember when using the PangoLayout function you need to convert to and from pixels using PANGO_PIXELS() or PANGO_SCALE.

If the “draw-value” property is FALSE, the return values are undefined.

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

x

location to store X offset of layout, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

y

location to store Y offset of layout, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

Since: 2.4


gtk_scale_add_mark ()

void
gtk_scale_add_mark (GtkScale *scale,
                    gdouble value,
                    GtkPositionType position,
                    const gchar *markup);

Adds a mark at value .

A mark is indicated visually by drawing a tick mark next to the scale, and GTK+ makes it easy for the user to position the scale exactly at the marks value.

If markup is not NULL, text is shown next to the tick mark.

To remove marks from a scale, use gtk_scale_clear_marks().

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

value

the value at which the mark is placed, must be between the lower and upper limits of the scales' adjustment

 

position

where to draw the mark. For a horizontal scale, GTK_POS_TOP is drawn above the scale, anything else below. For a vertical scale, GTK_POS_LEFT is drawn to the left of the scale, anything else to the right.

 

markup

Text to be shown at the mark, using Pango markup, or NULL.

[allow-none]

Since: 2.16


gtk_scale_clear_marks ()

void
gtk_scale_clear_marks (GtkScale *scale);

Removes any marks that have been added with gtk_scale_add_mark().

Parameters

scale

a GtkScale

 

Since: 2.16

Types and Values

struct GtkScale

struct GtkScale;

Property Details

The “digits” property

  “digits”                   int

The number of decimal places that are displayed in the value.

Owner: GtkScale

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: [-1,64]

Default value: 1


The “draw-value” property

  “draw-value”               gboolean

Whether the current value is displayed as a string next to the slider.

Owner: GtkScale

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE


The “value-pos” property

  “value-pos”                GtkPositionType

The position in which the current value is displayed.

Owner: GtkScale

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: GTK_POS_TOP

Style Property Details

The “slider-length” style property

  “slider-length”            int

Length of scale's slider.

Owner: GtkScale

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 31


The “value-spacing” style property

  “value-spacing”            int

Space between value text and the slider/trough area.

Owner: GtkScale

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 2

Signal Details

The “format-value” signal

char*
user_function (GtkScale *scale,
               double    value,
               gpointer  user_data)

Signal which allows you to change how the scale value is displayed. Connect a signal handler which returns an allocated string representing value . That string will then be used to display the scale's value.

If no user-provided handlers are installed, the value will be displayed on its own, rounded according to the value of the “digits” property.

Here's an example signal handler which displays a value 1.0 as with "-->1.0<--".

7
static gchar*
format_value_callback (GtkScale *scale,
                       gdouble   value)
{
  return g_strdup_printf ("-->%0.*g<--",
                          gtk_scale_get_digits (scale), value);
 }

Parameters

scale

the object which received the signal

 

value

the value to format

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Returns

allocated string representing value
