Description

GtkConstraint describes a constraint between an attribute on a widget and another attribute on another widget, expressed as a linear equation like:

1
 
target.attr1 = source.attr2 × multiplier + constant

Each GtkConstraint is part of a system that will be solved by a GtkConstraintLayout in order to allocate and position each child widget.

The source and target widgets, as well as their attributes, of a GtkConstraint instance are immutable after creation.

Types and Values

GtkConstraint

typedef struct _GtkConstraint GtkConstraint;

An object describing the relation between two widget attributes.

All relations are in the form:

1
 
target.attr_name = source.attr_name × multiplier + constant

A GtkConstraint is immutable once it's created.

GtkConstraintTarget

typedef struct _GtkConstraintTarget GtkConstraintTarget;

The GtkConstraintTarget interface is implemented by objects that can be used as source or target in GtkConstraints. Besides GtkWidget, it is also implemented by GtkConstraintGuide.
