gtk.Ruler Style Properties gtk.Widget Style Properties gtk.Ruler Signal Prototypes gobject.GObject Signal Prototypes gtk.Object Signal Prototypes gtk.Widget Signal Prototypes Description This widget is considered too specialized or little-used for PyGTK and GTK+, and will in the future be moved to some other package. If your application needs this widget, feel free to use it, as the widget does work and is useful in some applications; it's just not of general interest. However, it will eventually move out of the PyGTK and GTK+ distribution. The gtk.Ruler widget is a base class for horizontal and vertical rulers. Rulers are used to show the mouse pointer's location in a window. Within the ruler a small triangle indicates the location of the mouse relative to the horizontal or vertical ruler. See gtk.HRuler to learn about horizontal rulers. See gtk.VRuler to learn about vertical rulers. Methods gtk.Ruler.set_metric set_metric metric metric : the measurement units The set_metric() method sets the measurement units of the ruler to the value specified by metric. Available units are gtk.PIXELS, gtk.INCHES, or gtk.CENTIMETERS. The default unit of measurement is gtk.PIXELS. gtk.Ruler.set_range set_range lower upper position max_size lower : the upper limit of the ruler upper : the lower limit of the ruler position : the position of the mark on the ruler max_size : the maximum size of the rule The set_range() method sets the range of the ruler to the values specified by lower, upper, position and max_size (all values are floats). gtk.Ruler.draw_ticks draw_ticks The draw_ticks() method is overridden by the gtk.Ruler subclasses (gtk.HRuler and gtk.VRuler) to draw the tick marks on the ruler. This method is not used by applications. gtk.Ruler.draw_pos draw_pos The draw_pos() method is overridden by the gtk.Ruler subclasses (gtk.HRuler and gtk.VRuler) to draw the position mark on the ruler. This method is not used by applications. gtk.Ruler.get_metric get_metric Returns : the measurement units currently used for the ruler The get_metric() method returns the units used for a gtk.Ruler. See the set_metric() method. gtk.Ruler.get_range get_range Returns> : a tuple containing: the lower limit of the ruler, the upper limit of the ruler, the current position of the mark on the ruler and the maximum size of the ruler used when calculating the space to leave for the text. The get_range() method returns a tuple containing the values indicating the range and current position of a gtk.Ruler. See the set_range() method.
