Class Details¶

class Gtk.IconView(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: Gtk.Widget, Gtk.CellLayout, Gtk.Scrollable
Abstract:: No

GtkIconView is a widget which displays data in a grid of icons.

GtkIconView provides an alternative view on a GtkTreeModel. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like [class`Gtk`.TreeView], it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see [method`Gtk`.IconView.set_selection_mode]). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, GtkIconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

Note that if the tree model is backed by an actual tree store (as opposed to a flat list where the mapping to icons is obvious), GtkIconView will only display the first level of the tree and ignore the tree’s branches.

CSS nodes

`` iconview.view ╰── [rubberband] ``

GtkIconView has a single CSS node with name iconview and style class .view. For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

item_activated(path)[source]¶

Parameters:: path (Gtk.TreePath) – The GtkTreePath to be activated

Activates the item determined by path.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

path_is_selected(path)[source]¶

Parameters:: path (Gtk.TreePath) – A GtkTreePath to check selection on.
Returns:: True if path is selected.
Return type:: bool

Returns True if the icon pointed to by path is currently selected. If path does not point to a valid location, False is returned.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

scroll_to_path(path, use_align, row_align, col_align)[source]¶

Parameters:

path (Gtk.TreePath) – The path of the item to move to.
use_align (bool) – whether to use alignment arguments, or False.
row_align (float) – The vertical alignment of the item specified by path.
col_align (float) – The horizontal alignment of the item specified by path.

Moves the alignments of self to the position specified by path. row_align determines where the row is placed, and col_align determines where column is placed. Both are expected to be between 0.0 and 1.0. 0.0 means left/top alignment, 1.0 means right/bottom alignment, 0.5 means center.

If use_align is False, then the alignment arguments are ignored, and the tree does the minimum amount of work to scroll the item onto the screen. This means that the item will be scrolled to the edge closest to its current position. If the item is currently visible on the screen, nothing is done.

This function only works if the model is set, and path is a valid row on the model. If the model changes before the self is realized, the centered path will be modified to reflect this change.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

select_all()[source]¶: Selects all the icons. self must has its selection mode set to Gtk.SelectionMode.MULTIPLE.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

Calls a function for each selected icon. Note that the model or selection cannot be modified from within this function.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_activate_on_single_click(single)[source]¶

Parameters:: single (bool) – True to emit item-activated on a single click

Parameters:

path (Gtk.TreePath) – A GtkTreePath
cell (Gtk.CellRenderer or None) – One of the cell renderers of self
start_editing (bool) – True if the specified cell should start being edited.

Sets the current keyboard focus to be at path, and selects it. This is useful when you want to focus the user’s attention on a particular item. If cell is not None, then focus is given to the cell specified by it. Additionally, if start_editing is True, then editing should be started in the specified cell.

This function is often followed by gtk_widget_grab_focus (icon_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_item_width(item_width)[source]¶

Parameters:: item_width (int) – the width for each item

Sets the ::item-width property which specifies the width to use for each item. If it is set to -1, the icon view will automatically determine a suitable item size.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_margin(margin)[source]¶

Parameters:: margin (int) – the margin

Sets the ::margin property which specifies the space which is inserted at the top, bottom, left and right of the icon view.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_markup_column(column)[source]¶

Parameters:: column (int) – A column in the currently used model, or -1 to display no text

Sets the column with markup information for self to be column. The markup column must be of type G_TYPE_STRING. If the markup column is set to something, it overrides the text column set by Gtk.IconView.set_text_column().

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_model(model)[source]¶

Parameters:: model (Gtk.TreeModel or None) – The model.

Sets the model for a GtkIconView. If the self already has a model set, it will remove it before setting the new model. If model is None, then it will unset the old model.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_pixbuf_column(column)[source]¶

Parameters:: column (int) – A column in the currently used model, or -1 to disable

Sets the column with pixbufs for self to be column. The pixbuf column must be of type GDK_TYPE_PIXBUF

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_reorderable(reorderable)[source]¶

Parameters:: reorderable (bool) – True, if the list of items can be reordered.

This function is a convenience function to allow you to reorder models that support the GtkTreeDragSourceIface and the GtkTreeDragDestIface. Both GtkTreeStore and GtkListStore support these. If reorderable is True, then the user can reorder the model by dragging and dropping rows. The developer can listen to these changes by connecting to the model’s row_inserted and row_deleted signals. The reordering is implemented by setting up the icon view as a drag source and destination. Therefore, drag and drop can not be used in a reorderable view for any other purpose.

This function does not give you any degree of control over the order – any reordering is allowed. If more control is needed, you should probably handle drag and drop manually.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_row_spacing(row_spacing)[source]¶

Parameters:: row_spacing (int) – the row spacing

Sets the ::row-spacing property which specifies the space which is inserted between the rows of the icon view.

Sets the ::spacing property which specifies the space which is inserted between the cells (i.e. the icon and the text) of an item.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_text_column(column)[source]¶

Parameters:: column (int) – A column in the currently used model, or -1 to display no text

Sets the column with text for self to be column. The text column must be of type G_TYPE_STRING.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_tooltip_cell(tooltip, path, cell)[source]¶

Parameters:

tooltip (Gtk.Tooltip) – a GtkTooltip
path (Gtk.TreePath) – a GtkTreePath
cell (Gtk.CellRenderer or None) – a GtkCellRenderer

Sets the tip area of tooltip to the area which cell occupies in the item pointed to by path. See also Gtk.Tooltip.set_tip_area().

See also Gtk.IconView.set_tooltip_column() for a simpler alternative.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead

set_tooltip_column(column)[source]¶

Parameters:: column (int) – an integer, which is a valid column number for self’s model

If you only plan to have simple (text-only) tooltips on full items, you can use this function to have GtkIconView handle these automatically for you. column should be set to the column in self’s model containing the tooltip texts, or -1 to disable this feature.

When enabled, GtkWidget:has-tooltip will be set to True and self will connect a GtkWidget::query-tooltip signal handler.

Note that the signal handler sets the text with Gtk.Tooltip.set_markup(), so &, <, etc have to be escaped in the text.

Deprecated since version 4.10: Use [class`Gtk`.GridView] instead
