Adw-1AdwWrapLayoutSince 1.7

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

wrap-box

Adw.WrapLayout is similar to Gtk.BoxLayout, but can wrap lines when the widgets cannot fit otherwise. Unlike Gtk.FlowBox, the children aren't arranged into a grid and behave more like words in a wrapping label.

Like Gtk.BoxLayout, Adw.WrapLayout is orientable and has spacing:

::: note Unlike Gtk.BoxLayout, Adw.WrapLayout cannot follow the CSS border-spacing property.

Use the WrapLayout.natural_line_length property to determine the layout's natural size, e.g. when using it in a Gtk.Popover.

Normally, a horizontal Adw.WrapLayout wraps left to right and top to bottom for left-to-right languages. Both of these directions can be reversed, using the WrapLayout.pack_direction and WrapLayout.wrap_reverse properties. Additionally, the alignment of each line can be controlled with the WrapLayout.align property.

Lines can be justified using the WrapLayout.justify property, filling the entire line by either increasing child size or spacing depending on the value. Set WrapLayout.justify_last_line to justify the last line as well.

By default, Adw.WrapLayout wraps as soon as the previous line cannot fit any more children without shrinking them past their natural size. Set WrapLayout.wrap_policy to 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 WrapLayout.line_homogeneous to TRUE.

Spacing and natural line length can scale with the text scale factor, use the WrapLayout.child_spacing_unit, WrapLayout.line_spacing_unit and/or WrapLayout.natural_line_length_unit properties to enable that behavior.

Properties

Compile-time signal type information.

This instance property is generated only for TypeScript type checking. It is not defined at runtime and should not be accessed in JS code.

Accessors

  • get align(): number

    The alignment of the children within each line.

    0 means the children are placed at the start of the line, 1 means they are placed at the end of the line. 0.5 means they are placed in the middle of the line.

    Alignment is only used when WrapLayout.justify is set to ADW_JUSTIFY_NONE, or on the last line when the WrapLayout.justify_last_line is FALSE.

    Returns number

    1.7

  • set align(val: number): void

    Parameters

    • val: number

    Returns void

  • get justify(): Adw.JustifyMode

    Determines 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 WrapLayout.align.

    By default this doesn't affect the last line, as it will be incomplete. Use WrapLayout.justify_last_line to justify it as well.

    Returns Adw.JustifyMode

    1.7

  • set justify(val: Adw.JustifyMode): void

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • get line_homogeneous(): boolean

    Whether all lines should take the same amount of space.

  • set lineHomogeneous(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get wrap_policy(): Adw.WrapPolicy

    The policy for line wrapping.

    If set to ADW_WRAP_NATURAL, the box will wrap to the next line as soon as the previous line cannot fit any more children without shrinking them past their natural size.

    If set to ADW_WRAP_MINIMUM, the box will try to fit as many children into each line as possible, shrinking them down to their minimum size before wrapping to the next line.

    Returns Adw.WrapPolicy

    1.7

  • set wrap_policy(val: Adw.WrapPolicy): void

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • get wrap_reverse(): boolean

    Whether wrap direction should be reversed.

    By default, lines wrap downwards in a horizontal box, and towards the end in a vertical box. If set to TRUE, they wrap upwards or towards the start respectively.

    Returns boolean

    1.7

  • set wrap_reverse(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get wrapPolicy(): Adw.WrapPolicy

    The policy for line wrapping.

    If set to ADW_WRAP_NATURAL, the box will wrap to the next line as soon as the previous line cannot fit any more children without shrinking them past their natural size.

    If set to ADW_WRAP_MINIMUM, the box will try to fit as many children into each line as possible, shrinking them down to their minimum size before wrapping to the next line.

Accessors - Inherited from Gtk.Orientable

Methods

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target.

    Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

      g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
    

    Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget GObject.Object instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action GObject.Object instance.

    If flags contains GObject.BindingFlags.BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well.

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned GObject.Binding instance.

    Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    Parameters

    Returns GObject.Binding

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Complete version of g_object_bind_property().

    Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    If flags contains GObject.BindingFlags.BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well. The transform_from function is only used in case of bidirectional bindings, otherwise it will be ignored

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. This will release the reference that is being held on the GObject.Binding instance; if you want to hold on to the GObject.Binding instance, you will need to hold a reference to it.

    To remove the binding, call g_binding_unbind().

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    The same user_data parameter will be used for both transform_to and transform_from transformation functions; the notify function will be called once, when the binding is removed. If you need different data for each transformation function, please use g_object_bind_property_with_closures() instead.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target GObject.Object

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: GObject.BindingFlags

      flags to pass to GObject.Binding

    • Optionaltransform_to: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the source to the target, or null to use the default

    • Optionaltransform_from: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the target to the source, or null to use the default

    • Optionalnotify: DestroyNotify

      a function to call when disposing the binding, to free resources used by the transformation functions, or null if not required

    Returns GObject.Binding

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using GClosures instead of function pointers.

    Parameters

    • ...args: never[]

      the property on source to bind

    Returns any

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Disconnects a handler from an instance so it will not be called during any future or currently ongoing emissions of the signal it has been connected to.

    Parameters

    • id: number

      Handler ID of the handler to be disconnected

    Returns void

  • Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one GObject.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.

    This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

    Returns void

  • Gets the alignment of the children within each line.

    Returns number

    the child alignment

  • Gets spacing between widgets on the same line.

    Returns number

    spacing between widgets on the same line

  • Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key for that association

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • Gets whether the last line should be stretched to fill the entire widget.

    Returns boolean

    whether the last line is justified

  • Gets whether all lines should take the same amount of space.

    Returns boolean

    whether lines should be homogeneous

  • Gets the spacing between lines.

    Returns number

    the line spacing

  • Gets the natural size for each line.

    Returns number

    the natural length

  • Gets a property of an object.

    The value can be:

    • an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
    • a GObject.Value initialized with the expected type of the property
    • a GObject.Value initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

    In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling GObject.Value.unset.

    Note that GObject.Object.get_property is really intended for language bindings, GObject.Object.get is much more convenient for C programming.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the property to get

    • value: any

      Return location for the property value. Can be an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT (auto-initialized with expected type since GLib 2.60), a GObject.Value initialized with the expected property type, or a GObject.Value initialized with a transformable type

    Returns any

  • Gets whether wrap direction is reversed.

    Returns boolean

    whether wrap direction is reversed

  • Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

    Parameters

    • names: string[]

      the names of each property to get

    • values: any[]

      the values of each property to get

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      the name of a property installed on the class of object.

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.

    This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().

    One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:

      typedef enum
    {
    PROP_FOO = 1,
    PROP_LAST
    } MyObjectProperty;

    static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];

    static void
    my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
    {
    properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", NULL, NULL,
    0, 100,
    50,
    G_PARAM_READWRITE | G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS);
    g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
    PROP_FOO,
    properties[PROP_FOO]);
    }

    and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:

      g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
    

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Increases the reference count of object.

    Since GLib 2.56, if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater, the type of object will be propagated to the return type (using the GCC typeof() extension), so any casting the caller needs to do on the return type must be explicit.

    Returns GObject.Object

    the same object

  • Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the [floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.

    In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.

    Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

    Returns GObject.Object

    object

  • Sets multiple properties of an object at once. The properties argument should be a dictionary mapping property names to values.

    Parameters

    • properties: { [key: string]: any }

      Object containing the properties to set

    Returns void

  • Sets the alignment of the children within each line.

    0 means the children are placed at the start of the line, 1 means they are placed at the end of the line. 0.5 means they are placed in the middle of the line.

    Alignment is only used when WrapLayout.justify is set to ADW_JUSTIFY_NONE, or on the last line when the WrapLayout.justify_last_line is FALSE.

    Parameters

    • align: number

      the child alignment

    Returns void

  • Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.

    If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

    Internally, the key is converted to a GLib.Quark using g_quark_from_string(). This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values for key in your program, to avoid the GLib.Quark storage growing unbounded.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    • Optionaldata: any

      data to associate with that key

    Returns void

  • 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 WrapLayout.align.

    By default this doesn't affect the last line, as it will be incomplete. Use WrapLayout.justify_last_line to justify it as well.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Sets whether the last line should be stretched to fill the entire widget.

    See WrapLayout.justify.

    Parameters

    • justify_last_line: boolean

      whether to justify the last line

    Returns void

  • Sets whether all lines should take the same amount of space.

    Parameters

    • homogeneous: boolean

      whether lines should be homogeneous

    Returns void

  • Sets the natural size for each line.

    It should be used to limit the line lengths, for example when used in popovers.

    See WrapLayout.natural_line_length_unit.

    Parameters

    • natural_line_length: number

      the natural length

    Returns void

  • Sets the policy for line wrapping.

    If set to ADW_WRAP_NATURAL, the box will wrap to the next line as soon as the previous line cannot fit any more children without shrinking them past their natural size.

    If set to ADW_WRAP_MINIMUM, the box will try to fit as many children into each line as possible, shrinking them down to their minimum size before wrapping to the next line.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Sets whether wrap direction should be reversed.

    By default, lines wrap downwards in a horizontal box, and towards the end in a vertical box. If set to TRUE, they wrap upwards or towards the start respectively.

    Parameters

    • wrap_reverse: boolean

      whether to reverse wrap direction

    Returns void

  • Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:

    void
    object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
    const gchar *new_string)
    {
    // the quark, naming the object data
    GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
    // retrieve the old string list
    GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

    // prepend new string
    list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
    // this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
    g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
    }
    static void
    free_string_list (gpointer data)
    {
    GList *node, *list = data;

    for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
    g_list_free (list);
    }

    Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().

    Parameters

    • quark: number

      A GLib.Quark, naming the user data pointer

    Returns any

    The user data pointer set, or null

  • Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.

    Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one GObject.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.

    It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

    Returns void

  • Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

    If the pointer to the GObject.Object may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to null rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid GObject.Object instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

    Returns void

  • the constructed function is called by g_object_new() as the final step of the object creation process. At the point of the call, all construction properties have been set on the object. The purpose of this call is to allow for object initialisation steps that can only be performed after construction properties have been set. constructed implementors should chain up to the constructed call of their parent class to allow it to complete its initialisation.

    Returns void

  • the dispose function is supposed to drop all references to other objects, but keep the instance otherwise intact, so that client method invocations still work. It may be run multiple times (due to reference loops). Before returning, dispose should chain up to the dispose method of the parent class.

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • the generic setter for all properties of this type. Should be overridden for every type with properties. If implementations of set_property don't emit property change notification explicitly, this will be done implicitly by the type system. However, if the notify signal is emitted explicitly, the type system will not emit it a second time.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.

    Parameters

    Returns void

Methods - Inherited from Gtk

  • Assigns the given width, height, and baseline to a widget, and computes the position and sizes of the children of the widget using the layout management policy of manager.

      the Gtk.Widget using manager

    • width: number

      the new width of the widget

    • height: number

      the new height of the widget

    • baseline: number

    • for_size: number

      Size for the opposite of orientation; for instance, if the orientation is Gtk.Orientation.HORIZONTAL, this is the height of the widget; if the orientation is Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL, this is the width of the widget. This allows to measure the height for the given width, and the width for the given height. Use -1 if the size is not known

    Returns [number, number, number, number]

  • Assigns the given width, height, and baseline to a widget, and computes the position and sizes of the children of the widget using the layout management policy of manager.

    Parameters

      the new width of the widget

    • height: number

      the new height of the widget

    • baseline: number

      the baseline position of the widget, or -1

    Returns void

  • Measures the size of the widget using manager, for the given orientation and size.

    See the Gtk.Widget documentation on layout management for more details.

    Parameters

    • widget: Gtk.Widget

      the Gtk.Widget using manager

    • orientation: Gtk.Orientation

      the orientation to measure

    • for_size: number

      Size for the opposite of orientation; for instance, if the orientation is Gtk.Orientation.HORIZONTAL, this is the height of the widget; if the orientation is Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL, this is the width of the widget. This allows to measure the height for the given width, and the width for the given height. Use -1 if the size is not known

    Returns [number, number, number, number]

  • Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created GObject.ParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.

    This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of GObject.TypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface.

    If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.

    Parameters

    Returns void
