GI.Gtk.Objects.Scale

Contents

Description

A GtkScale is a slider control used to select a numeric value. To use it, you’ll probably want to investigate the methods on its base class, Range, in addition to the methods for GtkScale itself. To set the value of a scale, you would normally use rangeSetValue. To detect changes to the value, you would normally use the Range::value-changed signal.

Note that using the same upper and lower bounds for the Scale (through the Range methods) will hide the slider itself. This is useful for applications that want to show an undeterminate value on the scale, without changing the layout of the application (such as movie or music players).

GtkScale as GtkBuildable

GtkScale supports a custom <marks> element, which can contain multiple <mark> elements. The “value” and “position” attributes have the same meaning as scaleAddMark parameters of the same name. If the element is not empty, its content is taken as the markup to show at the mark. It can be translated with the usual ”translatable” and “context” attributes.

CSS nodes

    ╰── mark

GtkScale has a main CSS node with name scale and a subnode for its contents, with subnodes named trough and slider.

The main node gets the style class .fine-tune added when the scale is in 'fine-tuning' mode.

If the scale has an origin (see scaleSetHasOrigin), there is a subnode with name highlight below the trough node that is used for rendering the highlighted part of the trough.

If the scale is showing a fill level (see rangeSetShowFillLevel), there is a subnode with name fill below the trough node that is used for rendering the filled in part of the trough.

If marks are present, there is a marks subnode before or after the contents node, below which each mark gets a node with name mark. The marks nodes get either the .top or .bottom style class.

The mark node has a subnode named indicator. If the mark has text, it also has a subnode named label. When the mark is either above or left of the scale, the label subnode is the first when present. Otherwise, the indicator subnode is the first.

The main CSS node gets the 'marks-before' and/or 'marks-after' style classes added depending on what marks are present.

If the scale is displaying the value (see Scale:draw-value), there is subnode with name value.

toScale :: (MonadIO m, IsScale o) => o -> m Scale Source #

Cast to Scale, for types for which this is known to be safe. For general casts, use castTo.

noScale :: Maybe Scale Source #

A convenience alias for Nothing :: Maybe Scale.

Methods

addMark

scaleAddMark Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> Double

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

-> PositionType

position: where to draw the mark. For a horizontal scale, GTK_POS_TOP and PositionTypeLeft are drawn above the scale, anything else below. For a vertical scale, GTK_POS_LEFT and PositionTypeTop are drawn to the left of the scale, anything else to the right.

-> Maybe Text

markup: Text to be shown at the mark, using [Pango markup][PangoMarkupFormat], or Nothing

-> m () 

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 Nothing, text is shown next to the tick mark.

To remove marks from a scale, use scaleClearMarks.

Since: 2.16

clearMarks

scaleClearMarks Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> m () 

Removes any marks that have been added with scaleAddMark.

Since: 2.16

getDigits

scaleGetDigits Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> m Int32

Returns: the number of decimal places that are displayed

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

getDrawValue

scaleGetDrawValue Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> m Bool

Returns: whether the current value is displayed as a string

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

getHasOrigin

scaleGetHasOrigin Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the scale has an origin.

Returns whether the scale has an origin.

Since: 3.4

getLayout

scaleGetLayout Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: A Scale

-> m (Maybe Layout)

Returns: the Layout for this scale, or Nothing if the Scale:draw-value property is False.

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

Since: 2.4

getLayoutOffsets

scaleGetLayoutOffsets Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> m (Int32, Int32) 

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

If the Scale:draw-value property is False, the return values are undefined.

Since: 2.4

getValuePos

scaleGetValuePos Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> m PositionType

Returns: the position in which the current value is displayed

Gets the position in which the current value is displayed.

new

scaleNew Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsAdjustment a) 
=> Orientation

orientation: the scale’s orientation.

-> Maybe a

adjustment: the Adjustment which sets the range of the scale, or Nothing to create a new adjustment.

-> m Scale

Returns: a new Scale

Creates a new Scale.

Since: 3.0

newWithRange

scaleNewWithRange Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> Orientation

orientation: the scale’s orientation.

-> Double

min: minimum value

-> Double

max: maximum value

-> Double

step: step increment (tick size) used with keyboard shortcuts

-> m Scale

Returns: a new Scale

Creates a new scale widget with the given orientation that lets the user input a number between min and max (including min and max) with the increment step. step must be nonzero; it’s the distance the slider moves when using the arrow keys to adjust the scale value.

Note that the way in which the precision is derived works best if step is a power of ten. If the resulting precision is not suitable for your needs, use scaleSetDigits to correct it.

Since: 3.0

setDigits

scaleSetDigits Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> Int32

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

-> m () 

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 Scale:draw-value is True when the value changes. If you want to enforce rounding the value when Scale:draw-value is False, you can set Range:round-digits instead.

Note that rounding to a small number of digits can interfere with the smooth autoscrolling that is built into Scale. As an alternative, you can use the Scale::format-value signal to format the displayed value yourself.

setDrawValue

scaleSetDrawValue Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> Bool

drawValue: True to draw the value

-> m () 

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

setHasOrigin

scaleSetHasOrigin Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> Bool

hasOrigin: True if the scale has an origin

-> m () 

If Scale:has-origin is set to True (the default), the scale will highlight the part of the trough between the origin (bottom or left side) and the current value.

Since: 3.4

setValuePos

scaleSetValuePos Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsScale a) 
=> a

scale: a Scale

-> PositionType

pos: the position in which the current value is displayed

-> m () 

Sets the position in which the current value is displayed.

Signals

formatValue

type C_ScaleFormatValueCallback = Ptr () -> CDouble -> Ptr () -> IO CString Source #

Type for the callback on the (unwrapped) C side.

type ScaleFormatValueCallback Source #

Arguments

 = Double

value: the value to format

-> IO Text

Returns: allocated string representing value

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 Scale:digits property.

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

C code

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

afterScaleFormatValue :: (IsScale a, MonadIO m) => a -> ScaleFormatValueCallback -> m SignalHandlerId Source #

Connect a signal handler for the “format-value” signal, to be run after the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

after scale #formatValue callback

onScaleFormatValue :: (IsScale a, MonadIO m) => a -> ScaleFormatValueCallback -> m SignalHandlerId Source #

Connect a signal handler for the “format-value” signal, to be run before the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

on scale #formatValue callback
