Implemented Interfaces

GtkCellArea implements GtkCellLayout and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

The GtkCellArea is an abstract class for GtkCellLayout widgets (also referred to as "layouting widgets") to interface with an arbitrary number of GtkCellRenderers 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:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
GtkTreeIter iter;
gint        minimum_width;
gint        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 GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width() 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:

1
2

static void
foo_get_preferred_width (GtkWidget       *widget,
                         gint            *minimum_size,
                         gint            *natural_size)
{
  Foo        *foo  = FOO (widget);
  FooPrivate *priv = foo->priv;

  foo_ensure_at_least_one_handfull_of_rows_have_been_requested (foo);

  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;
gint        minimum_height;
gint        natural_height;
gint        full_minimum_height = 0;
gint        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 GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_for_width(). 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 aquired at least for the rows in the visible area of the layouting widget they can be rendered at GtkWidgetClass.draw() time.

A crude example of how to render all the rows at the root level runs as follows:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

16

22
GtkAllocation allocation;
GdkRectangle  cell_area = { 0, };
GtkTreeIter   iter;
gint          minimum_width;
gint          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 “size-allocate” time 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 “focus-changed” signal to fire; as well as “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 GtkWidgetClass.focus() virtual method. The layouting widget is always responsible for knowing where GtkTreeModel rows are rendered inside the widget, so at GtkWidgetClass.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 GtkWidgetClass.focus() virtual method should be implemented:

                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 GtkCellRenderers in very much the same way that GtkContainer introduces child properties for GtkWidgets. 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().

gtk_cell_area_create_context ()

GtkCellAreaContext *
gtk_cell_area_create_context (GtkCellArea *area);

Creates a GtkCellAreaContext to be used with area for all purposes. GtkCellAreaContext 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 GtkCellAreaContext which was used to request the size of those rows of data).

Parameters

area

a GtkCellArea

 

Returns

a newly created GtkCellAreaContext which can be used with area .

gtk_cell_area_copy_context ()

GtkCellAreaContext *
gtk_cell_area_copy_context (GtkCellArea *area,
                            GtkCellAreaContext *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.

For instance, GtkIconView creates all icons (rows) to have the same width and the cells theirin to have the same horizontal alignments. However each row of icons may have a separate collective height. GtkIconView uses this to request the heights of each row based on a context which was already used to request all the row widths that are to be displayed.

Parameters

area

a GtkCellArea

 

context

the GtkCellAreaContext to copy

 

Returns

a newly created GtkCellAreaContext copy of context .

                             GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
                             GdkEvent *event,
                             const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                             GtkCellRendererState flags);

This is used by GtkCellArea subclasses when handling events to activate cells, the base GtkCellArea class activates cells for keyboard events for free in its own GtkCellArea->activate() implementation.

Parameters

area

a GtkCellArea

 

widget

the GtkWidget that area is rendering onto

 

renderer

the GtkCellRenderer in area to activate

 

event

the GdkEvent for which cell activation should occur

 

cell_area

the GdkRectangle in widget relative coordinates of renderer for the current row.

 

flags

the GtkCellRendererState for renderer

 

Returns

whether cell activation was successful

gtk_cell_area_stop_editing ()

void
gtk_cell_area_stop_editing (GtkCellArea *area,
                            gboolean canceled);

Explicitly stops the editing of the currently edited cell.

If canceled is TRUE, the currently edited cell renderer will emit the ::editing-canceled signal, otherwise the the ::editing-done signal will be emitted on the current edit widget.

See gtk_cell_area_get_edited_cell() and gtk_cell_area_get_edit_widget().

Parameters

area

a GtkCellArea

 

canceled

whether editing was canceled.

gtk_cell_area_inner_cell_area ()

void
gtk_cell_area_inner_cell_area (GtkCellArea *area,
                               GtkWidget *widget,
                               const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                               GdkRectangle *inner_area);

This is a convenience function for GtkCellArea implementations to get the inner area where a given GtkCellRenderer will be rendered. It removes any padding previously added by gtk_cell_area_request_renderer().

Parameters

area

a GtkCellArea

 

widget

the GtkWidget that area is rendering onto

 

cell_area

the widget relative coordinates where one of area ’s cells is to be placed

 

inner_area

the return location for the inner cell area.

gtk_cell_area_request_renderer ()

void
gtk_cell_area_request_renderer (GtkCellArea *area,
                                GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
                                GtkOrientation orientation,
                                GtkWidget *widget,
                                gint for_size,
                                gint *minimum_size,
                                gint *natural_size);

This is a convenience function for GtkCellArea implementations to request size for cell renderers. It’s important to use this function to request size and then use gtk_cell_area_inner_cell_area() at render and event time since this function will add padding around the cell for focus painting.

Parameters

area

a GtkCellArea

 

renderer

the GtkCellRenderer to request size for

 

orientation

the GtkOrientation in which to request size

 

widget

the GtkWidget that area is rendering onto

 

for_size

the allocation contextual size to request for, or -1 if the base request for the orientation is to be returned.

 

minimum_size

location to store the minimum size, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

natural_size

location to store the natural size, or NULL.

Members

add ()

adds a GtkCellRenderer to the area.

 

remove ()

removes a GtkCellRenderer from the area.

 

foreach ()

calls the GtkCellCallback function on every GtkCellRenderer in the area with the provided user data until the callback returns TRUE.

 

foreach_alloc ()

Calls the GtkCellAllocCallback function on every GtkCellRenderer in the area with the allocated area for the cell and the provided user data until the callback returns TRUE.

 

event ()

Handle an event in the area, this is generally used to activate a cell at the event location for button events but can also be used to generically pass events to GtkWidgets drawn onto the area.

 

render ()

Actually render the area’s cells to the specified rectangle, background_area should be correctly distributed to the cells corresponding background areas.

 

apply_attributes ()

Apply the cell attributes to the cells. This is implemented as a signal and generally GtkCellArea subclasses don't need to implement it since it is handled by the base class.

 

create_context ()

Creates and returns a class specific GtkCellAreaContext to store cell alignment and allocation details for a said GtkCellArea class.

 

copy_context ()

Creates a new GtkCellAreaContext in the same state as the passed context with any cell alignment data and allocations intact.

 

get_request_mode ()

This allows an area to tell its layouting widget whether it prefers to be allocated in GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH or GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT mode.

 

get_preferred_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 GtkCellArea. While requests are performed over a series of rows, alignments and overall minimum and natural sizes should be stored in the corresponding GtkCellAreaContext.

 

get_preferred_height_for_width ()

Calculates the minimum and natural height for the area if the passed context would be allocated the given width. When implementing this virtual method it is safe to assume that context has already stored the aligned cell widths for every GtkTreeModel row that context will be allocated for since this information was stored at GtkCellAreaClass.get_preferred_width() time. This virtual method should also store any necessary alignments of cell heights for the case that the context is allocated a height.

 

get_preferred_height ()

Calculates the minimum and natural height of the areas cells with the current attributes applied. Essentially this is the same as GtkCellAreaClass.get_preferred_width() only for areas that are being requested as GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT.

 

get_preferred_width_for_height ()

Calculates the minimum and natural width for the area if the passed context would be allocated the given height. The same as GtkCellAreaClass.get_preferred_height_for_width() only for handling requests in the GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT mode.

 

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().

 

get_cell_property ()

This should be implemented to report the values of child cell properties for a given child GtkCellRenderer.

 

focus ()

This virtual method should be implemented to navigate focus from cell to cell inside the GtkCellArea. The GtkCellArea should move focus from cell to cell inside the area and return FALSE if focus logically leaves the area with the following exceptions: When the area contains no activatable cells, the entire area recieves 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 ()

Returns whether the GtkCellArea can respond to GtkCellAreaClass.activate(), usually this does not need to be implemented since the base class takes care of this however it can be enhanced if the GtkCellArea subclass can handle activation in other ways than activating its GtkCellRenderers.

 

activate ()

This is called when the layouting widget rendering the GtkCellArea activates the focus cell (see gtk_cell_area_get_focus_cell()).
