27 * @Short_Description: Height-for-width geometry management
28 * @Title: GtkSizeRequest
30 * The GtkSizeRequest interface is GTK+'s height-for-width (and width-for-height)
31 * geometry management system. Height-for-width means that a widget can
32 * change how much vertical space it needs, depending on the amount
33 * of horizontal space that it is given (and similar for width-for-height).
34 * The most common example is a label that reflows to fill up the available
35 * width, wraps to fewer lines, and therefore needs less height.
37 * GTK+'s traditional two-pass <link linkend="size-allocation">size-allocation</link>
38 * algorithm does not allow this flexibility. #GtkWidget provides a default
39 * implementation of the #GtkSizeRequest interface for existing widgets,
40 * which always requests the same height, regardless of the available width.
43 * <title>Implementing GtkSizeRequest</title>
45 * Some important things to keep in mind when implementing
46 * the GtkSizeRequest interface and when using it in container
49 * The geometry management system will query a logical hierarchy in
50 * only one orientation at a time. When widgets are initially queried
51 * for their minimum sizes it is generally done in a dual pass
52 * in the direction chosen by the toplevel.
54 * For instance when queried in the normal height-for-width mode:
55 * First the default minimum and natural width for each widget
56 * in the interface will computed and collectively returned to
57 * the toplevel by way of gtk_size_request_get_width().
58 * Next, the toplevel will use the minimum width to query for the
59 * minimum height contextual to that width using
60 * gtk_size_request_get_height_for_width(), which will also be a
61 * highly recursive operation. This minimum-for-minimum size can be
62 * used to set the minimum size constraint on the toplevel.
64 * When allocating, each container can use the minimum and natural
65 * sizes reported by their children to allocate natural sizes and
66 * expose as much content as possible with the given allocation.
68 * That means that the request operation at allocation time will
69 * usually fire again in contexts of different allocated sizes than
70 * the ones originally queried for. #GtkSizeRequest caches a
71 * small number of results to avoid re-querying for the same
72 * allocated size in one allocation cycle.
74 * A widget that does not actually do height-for-width
75 * or width-for-height size negotiations only has to implement
76 * get_width() and get_height().
78 * If a widget does move content around to smartly use up the
79 * allocated size, then it must support the request properly in
80 * both orientations; even if the request only makes sense in
83 * For instance, a GtkLabel that does height-for-width word wrapping
84 * will not expect to have get_height() called because that
85 * call is specific to a width-for-height request, in this case the
86 * label must return the heights contextual to its minimum possible
87 * width. By following this rule any widget that handles height-for-width
88 * or width-for-height requests will always be allocated at least
89 * enough space to fit its own content.
