Class Details

class Gtk.Grid(**kwargs)

Bases:

Gtk.Container, Gtk.Orientable

Abstract:

No

Structure:

Gtk.GridClass

Gtk.Grid is a container which arranges its child widgets in rows and columns, with arbitrary positions and horizontal/vertical spans.

Children are added using Gtk.Grid.attach(). They can span multiple rows or columns. It is also possible to add a child next to an existing child, using Gtk.Grid.attach_next_to(). The behaviour of Gtk.Grid when several children occupy the same grid cell is undefined.

Gtk.Grid can be used like a Gtk.Box by just using Gtk.Container.add(), which will place children next to each other in the direction determined by the Gtk.Orientable :orientation property. However, if all you want is a single row or column, then Gtk.Box is the preferred widget.

CSS nodes

Gtk.Grid uses a single CSS node with name grid.

classmethod new()

Returns:

the new Gtk.Grid

Return type:

Gtk.Widget

Creates a new grid widget.

attach(child, left, top, width, height)

Parameters:

• child (Gtk.Widget) – the widget to add

• left (int) – the column number to attach the left side of child to

• top (int) – the row number to attach the top side of child to

• width (int) – the number of columns that child will span

• height (int) – the number of rows that child will span

Adds a widget to the grid.

The position of child is determined by left and top. The number of “cells” that child will occupy is determined by width and height.

attach_next_to(child, sibling, side, width, height)

Parameters:

• child (Gtk.Widget) – the widget to add

• sibling (Gtk.Widget or None) – the child of self that child will be placed next to, or None to place child at the beginning or end

• side (Gtk.PositionType) – the side of sibling that child is positioned next to

• width (int) – the number of columns that child will span

• height (int) – the number of rows that child will span

Adds a widget to the grid.

The widget is placed next to sibling, on the side determined by side. When sibling is None, the widget is placed in row (for left or right placement) or column 0 (for top or bottom placement), at the end indicated by side.

Attaching widgets labeled [1], [2], [3] with sibling == None and side == Gtk.PositionType.LEFT yields a layout of ‘3 [2]’[1].

get_baseline_row()

Returns:

the row index defining the global baseline

Return type:

int

Returns which row defines the global baseline of self.

New in version 3.10.

get_child_at(left, top)

Parameters:

• left (int) – the left edge of the cell

• top (int) – the top edge of the cell

Returns:

the child at the given position, or None

Return type:

Gtk.Widget or None

Gets the child of self whose area covers the grid cell whose upper left corner is at left, top.

New in version 3.2.

get_column_homogeneous()

Returns:

whether all columns of self have the same width.

Return type:

bool

Returns whether all columns of self have the same width.

get_column_spacing()

Returns:

the column spacing of self

Return type:

int

Returns the amount of space between the columns of self.

get_row_baseline_position(row)

Parameters:

row (int) – a row index

Returns:

the baseline position of row

Return type:

Gtk.BaselinePosition

Returns the baseline position of row as set by Gtk.Grid.set_row_baseline_position() or the default value Gtk.BaselinePosition.CENTER.

New in version 3.10.

get_row_homogeneous()

Returns:

whether all rows of self have the same height.

Return type:

bool

Returns whether all rows of self have the same height.

get_row_spacing()

Returns:

the row spacing of self

Return type:

int

Returns the amount of space between the rows of self.

insert_column(position)

Parameters:

position (int) – the position to insert the column at

Inserts a column at the specified position.

Children which are attached at or to the right of this position are moved one column to the right. Children which span across this position are grown to span the new column.

New in version 3.2.

insert_next_to(sibling, side)

Parameters:

• sibling (Gtk.Widget) – the child of self that the new row or column will be placed next to

• side (Gtk.PositionType) – the side of sibling that child is positioned next to

Inserts a row or column at the specified position.

The new row or column is placed next to sibling, on the side determined by side. If side is Gtk.PositionType.TOP or Gtk.PositionType.BOTTOM, a row is inserted. If side is Gtk.PositionType.LEFT of Gtk.PositionType.RIGHT, a column is inserted.

New in version 3.2.

insert_row(position)

Parameters:

position (int) – the position to insert the row at

Inserts a row at the specified position.

Children which are attached at or below this position are moved one row down. Children which span across this position are grown to span the new row.

New in version 3.2.

remove_column(position)

Parameters:

position (int) – the position of the column to remove

Removes a column from the grid.

Children that are placed in this column are removed, spanning children that overlap this column have their width reduced by one, and children after the column are moved to the left.

New in version 3.10.

remove_row(position)

Parameters:

position (int) – the position of the row to remove

Removes a row from the grid.

Children that are placed in this row are removed, spanning children that overlap this row have their height reduced by one, and children below the row are moved up.

New in version 3.10.

set_baseline_row(row)

Parameters:

row (int) – the row index

Sets which row defines the global baseline for the entire grid. Each row in the grid can have its own local baseline, but only one of those is global, meaning it will be the baseline in the parent of the self.

New in version 3.10.

set_column_homogeneous(homogeneous)

Parameters:

homogeneous (bool) – True to make columns homogeneous

Sets whether all columns of self will have the same width.

set_column_spacing(spacing)

Parameters:

spacing (int) – the amount of space to insert between columns

Sets the amount of space between columns of self.

set_row_baseline_position(row, pos)

Parameters:

• row (int) – a row index

• pos (Gtk.BaselinePosition) – a Gtk.BaselinePosition

Sets how the baseline should be positioned on row of the grid, in case that row is assigned more space than is requested.

New in version 3.10.

set_row_homogeneous(homogeneous)

Parameters:

homogeneous (bool) – True to make rows homogeneous

Sets whether all rows of self will have the same height.

set_row_spacing(spacing)

Parameters:

spacing (int) – the amount of space to insert between rows

Sets the amount of space between rows of self.
