Alignment

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

public class Alignment : Bin, Implementor, Buildable

The Alignment widget controls the alignment and size of its child widget. It has four settings: xscale, yscale, xalign, and yalign.

The scale settings are used to specify how much the child widget should expand to fill the space allocated to the Alignment. The values can range from 0 (meaning the child doesn't expand at all) to 1 (meaning the child expands to fill all of the available space).

The align settings are used to place the child widget within the available area. The values range from 0 (top or left) to 1 (bottom or right). Of course, if the scale settings are both set to 1, the alignment settings have no effect.

Properties:

public uint bottom_padding { set; get; }
The padding to insert at the bottom of the widget.
public uint left_padding { set; get; }

public uint right_padding { set; get; }
The padding to insert at the right of the widget.
public uint top_padding { set; get; }
The padding to insert at the top of the widget.
public float xalign { set; get; }
public float xscale { set; get; }
public float yalign { set; get; }

Creation methods:

public Alignment (float xalign, float yalign, float xscale, float yscale)
Creates a new Alignment.

Methods:

public void get_padding (out uint padding_top, out uint padding_bottom, out uint padding_left, out uint padding_right)
Gets the padding on the different sides of the widget. See set_padding.
public void set (float xalign, float yalign, float xscale, float yscale)
Sets the Alignment values.
public void set_padding (uint padding_top, uint padding_bottom, uint padding_left, uint padding_right)
Sets the padding on the different sides of the widget. The padding adds blank space to the sides of the widget. For instance, this can be used to indent the child widget towards the right by adding padding on the left.
