Description

The GtkCellAreaContext object is created by a given GtkCellArea implementation via its GtkCellAreaClass.create_context() virtual method and is used to store cell sizes and alignments for a series of GtkTreeModel rows that are requested and rendered in the same context.

GtkCellLayout widgets can create any number of contexts in which to request and render groups of data rows. However, it’s important that the same context which was used to request sizes for a given GtkTreeModel row also be used for the same row when calling other GtkCellArea APIs such as gtk_cell_area_render() and gtk_cell_area_event().

Functions

gtk_cell_area_context_get_area ()

GtkCellArea *
gtk_cell_area_context_get_area (GtkCellAreaContext *context);

Fetches the GtkCellArea this context was created by.

This is generally unneeded by layouting widgets; however, it is important for the context implementation itself to fetch information about the area it is being used for.

For instance at GtkCellAreaContextClass.allocate() time it’s important to know details about any cell spacing that the GtkCellArea is configured with in order to compute a proper allocation.

Parameters

context

a GtkCellAreaContext

 

Returns

the GtkCellArea this context was created by.

gtk_cell_area_context_allocate ()

void
gtk_cell_area_context_allocate (GtkCellAreaContext *context,
                                gint width,
                                gint height);

Allocates a width and/or a height for all rows which are to be rendered with context .

Usually allocation is performed only horizontally or sometimes vertically since a group of rows are usually rendered side by side vertically or horizontally and share either the same width or the same height. Sometimes they are allocated in both horizontal and vertical orientations producing a homogeneous effect of the rows. This is generally the case for GtkTreeView when “fixed-height-mode” is enabled.

Since 3.0

Parameters

context

a GtkCellAreaContext

 

width

the allocated width for all GtkTreeModel rows rendered with context , or -1.

 

height

the allocated height for all GtkTreeModel rows rendered with context , or -1.

 

gtk_cell_area_context_reset ()

void
gtk_cell_area_context_reset (GtkCellAreaContext *context);

Resets any previously cached request and allocation data.

When underlying GtkTreeModel data changes its important to reset the context if the content size is allowed to shrink. If the content size is only allowed to grow (this is usually an option for views rendering large data stores as a measure of optimization), then only the row that changed or was inserted needs to be (re)requested with gtk_cell_area_get_preferred_width().

When the new overall size of the context requires that the allocated size changes (or whenever this allocation changes at all), the variable row sizes need to be re-requested for every row.

For instance, if the rows are displayed all with the same width from top to bottom then a change in the allocated width necessitates a recalculation of all the displayed row heights using gtk_cell_area_get_preferred_height_for_width().

Since 3.0

Members

allocate ()

This tells the context that an allocation width or height (or both) have been decided for a group of rows. The context should store any allocations for internally aligned cells at this point so that they dont need to be recalculated at gtk_cell_area_render() time.

 

reset ()

Clear any previously stored information about requested and allocated sizes for the context.

 

get_preferred_height_for_width ()

Returns the aligned height for the given width that context must store while collecting sizes for it’s rows.

 

get_preferred_width_for_height ()

Returns the aligned width for the given height that context must store while collecting sizes for it’s rows.
