"ignore-hidden" Read-Write If True, hidden widgets are ignored when determining the size of the group. Default value: False. Available in GTK+ 2.8 and above. "mode" Read-Write The directions in which the size group effects the requested sizes of its component widgets - one of the . Default value: gtk.SIZE_GROUP_HORIZONTAL.

gtk.SizeGroup Signal Prototypes gobject.GObject Signal Prototypes Description gtk.SizeGroup provides a mechanism for grouping a number of widgets together so they all request the same amount of space. This is typically useful when you want a column of widgets to have the same size, but you can't use a gtk.Table widget. The size requested for each widget in a gtk.SizeGroup is the maximum of the sizes that would have been requested for each widget in the size group if they were not in the size group. The mode of the size group (see set_mode() and the ) determines whether this applies to the horizontal size, the vertical size, or both sizes: Note that size groups only affect the amount of space requested, not the size that the widgets finally receive. If you want the widgets in a gtk.SizeGroup to actually be the same size, you need to pack them in such a way that they get the size they request and not more. For example, if you are packing your widgets into a table, you would not include the gtk.FILL flag. gtk.SizeGroup objects are referenced by each widget in the size group, so once you have added all widgets to a gtk.SizeGroup. If the widgets in the size group are subsequently destroyed, then they will be removed from the size group and drop their references on the size group; when all widgets have been removed, the size group will be freed. Widgets can be part of multiple size groups; PyGTK will compute the horizontal size of a widget from the horizontal requisition of all widgets that can be reached from the widget by a chain of size groups of type gtk.SIZE_GROUP_HORIZONTAL or gtk.SIZE_GROUP_BOTH, and the vertical size from the vertical requisition of all widgets that can be reached from the widget by a chain of size groups of type gtk.SIZE_GROUP_VERTICAL or gtk.SIZE_GROUP_BOTH. Constructor gtk.SizeGroup mode mode : the mode for the new size group. Returns : a new gtk.SizeGroup Creates a new gtk.SizeGroup with the mode specified by the value of mode which is one of the . Methods gtk.SizeGroup.set_mode set_mode mode mode : the mode to set for the size group. The set_mode() method sets the "mode" property of the size group to the value specified by mode. The "mode" of the size group determines whether the widgets in the size group should all have the same horizontal requisition (see the ). gtk.SizeGroup.get_mode get_mode Returns : the current mode of the size group. The get_mode() method returns the value of the "mode" property of the size group. See the set_mode() method. gtk.SizeGroup.set_ignore_hidden set_ignore_hidden ignore_hidden ignore_hidden : If True hidden widgets should be ignored when calculating the size This method is available in PyGTK 2.8 and above. The set_ignore_hidden() method sets the "ignore-hidden" property to the value of ignore_hidden. If ignore_hidden is True invisible widgets will be ignored when calculating size. gtk.SizeGroup.get_ignore_hidden get_ignore_hidden Returns : True if hidden widgets are ignored in size calculations. This method is available in PyGTK 2.8 and above. The get_ignore_hidden() method returns the value of the "ignore-hidden" property of the size group. If "ignore-hidden" is True, invisible widgets are ignored in size calculations. gtk.SizeGroup.add_widget add_widget widget widget : the gtk.Widget to add The add_widget() method adds the widget specified by widget to the gtk.SizeGroup. The requisition of the widget will then be determined as the maximum of its requisition and the requisition of the other widgets in the size group. Whether this applies horizontally, vertically, or in both directions depends on the mode of the size group. See the set_mode() method for more detail. gtk.SizeGroup.get_widgets get_widgets Returns : a list of widgets. The get_widgets() method returns the list of widgets associated with size_group.
