Class Details¶

class Adw.WrapLayout(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: Gtk.LayoutManager, Gtk.Orientable
Abstract:: No
Structure:: Adw.WrapLayoutClass

A box-like layout that can wrap into multiple lines.

AdwWrapLayout is similar to [class`Gtk`.BoxLayout], but can wrap lines when the widgets cannot fit otherwise. Unlike [class`Gtk`.FlowBox], the children aren’t arranged into a grid and behave more like words in a wrapping label.

Like GtkBoxLayout, AdwWrapLayout is orientable and has spacing:

[property`WrapLayout`:py:data::child-spacing<Adw.WrapLayout.props.child_spacing>] between children in the same line;
[property`WrapLayout`:py:data::line-spacing<Adw.WrapLayout.props.line_spacing>] between lines.

::: note Unlike GtkBoxLayout, AdwWrapLayout cannot follow the CSS border-spacing property.

Use the [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::natural-line-length<Adw.WrapLayout.props.natural_line_length>] property to determine the layout’s natural size, e.g. when using it in a [class`Gtk`.Popover].

Normally, a horizontal AdwWrapLayout wraps left to right and top to bottom for left-to-right languages. Both of these directions can be reversed, using the [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::pack-direction<Adw.WrapLayout.props.pack_direction>] and [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::wrap-reverse<Adw.WrapLayout.props.wrap_reverse>] properties. Additionally, the alignment of each line can be controlled with the [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::align<Adw.WrapLayout.props.align>] property.

Lines can be justified using the [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::justify<Adw.WrapLayout.props.justify>] property, filling the entire line by either increasing child size or spacing depending on the value. Set [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::justify-last-line<Adw.WrapLayout.props.justify_last_line>] to justify the last line as well.

By default, AdwWrapLayout wraps as soon as the previous line cannot fit any more children without shrinking them past their natural size. Set [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::wrap-policy<Adw.WrapLayout.props.wrap_policy>] to [enum`Adw`.WrapPolicy.MINIMUM] to only wrap once all the children in the previous line have been shrunk to their minimum size.

To make each line take the same amount of space, set [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::line-homogeneous<Adw.WrapLayout.props.line_homogeneous>] to TRUE.

Spacing and natural line length can scale with the text scale factor, use the [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::child-spacing-unit<Adw.WrapLayout.props.child_spacing_unit>], [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::line-spacing-unit<Adw.WrapLayout.props.line_spacing_unit>] and/or [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::natural-line-length-unit<Adw.WrapLayout.props.natural_line_length_unit>] properties to enable that behavior.

See [class`WrapBox`].

Alignment is only used when [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::justify<Adw.WrapLayout.props.justify>] is set to ADW_JUSTIFY_NONE, or on the last line when the [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::justify-last-line<Adw.WrapLayout.props.justify_last_line>] is FALSE.

set_child_spacing(child_spacing)¶

Parameters:: child_spacing (int) – the child spacing

Sets whether and how each complete line should be stretched to fill the entire widget.

If set to ADW_JUSTIFY_FILL, each widget in the line will be stretched, keeping consistent spacing, so that the line fills the entire widget.

If set to ADW_JUSTIFY_SPREAD, the spacing between widgets will be increased, keeping widget sizes intact. The first and last widget will be aligned with the beginning and end of the line. If the line only contains a single widget, it will be stretched regardless.

If set to ADW_JUSTIFY_NONE, the line will not be stretched and the children will be placed together within the line, according to [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::align<Adw.WrapLayout.props.align>].

By default this doesn’t affect the last line, as it will be incomplete. Use [property`WrapLayout`:py:data::justify-last-line<Adw.WrapLayout.props.justify_last_line>] to justify it as well.
