What this means is basically that a vertically oriented GtkCellAreaBox
will render cells properly even if the height is not constant for every
for of data in the said GtkCellAreaContext (i.e. the height was not allocated
by gtk_cell_area_context_allocate).
This is done completely on the fly and so is much more heavy duty
at render time (considerably slower but not visibly noticable in
lightweight views like GtkTreeMenu). Note that cell alignments
are not possible in an unallocated orientation, each row of data
individually receives only enough space to render the independant
row and no space is reserved for alignments if the size is not
a constant size across rows in the same context.
Since a cell renderer might use more space than the natural
size when recieving expand space it's impossible to know how
much space is actually used to render content.
Adding this virtual method to allow text renderers to implement
it, the base default method uses height-for-width apis and aligns
the cell assuming the renderer uses a fixed size.
This commit removes the similar code from gtkcellarea and
subclasses.
- gtk_cell_area_context_get_height_for_width()
- gtk_cell_area_context_get_width_for_height()
- gtk_cell_area_context_push_height_for_width()
- gtk_cell_area_context_push_width_for_height()
- gtk_cell_area_context_flush_height_for_width()
- gtk_cell_area_context_flush_width_for_height()
- Contextual size changed signal
All of these are not really important for the CellArea to operate
and not of any real consequential value to the user (the user can
accumulate the returned values from height-for-width requests
and do as they please with it).
This is so that treeviews can have some columns oriented vertically and
some horizontally, usually the column will only allocate the areas
width, having vertical columns without fixed row heights just means
it's slower to render.
- Added gtk_cell_area_aligned_cell_area() to get the aligned
internal area use by a cell (for focus painting and for
event areas).
- Provide the event area in "editing-started" signal
- Fire "remove-editable" when editing is canceled by the user,
an implementing layouting widget need only catch "editing-started"
and "remove-editable" now.
- CellAreaScaffold/testcellarea now edit textrenderers.
Now GtkCellAreaBox handles the click event to activate renderers
and checks if the area is in a sibling of a focus renderer, possibly
activating the proper focus sibling renderer.
Also GtkCellArea gains a "focus-changed" signal to allow it to
change the currently focused row according to the button events.
Added concept of "Focus Siblings" to GtkCellArea so that some
static text/icon may be included in the focus/click area of
an activatable or editable cell, implemented focus drawing
as well, updated testcellarea to reflect the changes.
- Fixed focus driving in GtkCellArea with refined apis
- Added gtk_cell_area_activate() to be called when the area has focus
(to activate or start editing the focused cell)
- Added support for this in cellareascaffold
- testcellarea now watches the "toggled" signal for a toggle renderer
and updates the model state accordingly, this currently works with
keyboard navigation, however focus is still not painted on cells.
Now when the GtkCellAreaBox receives key events it cycles
the currently focused cell to the next focusable cell in the box
while observing the navigation direction, it then emits "focus-leave"
when hitting the boundries of the area.
- Added vfunc to get the allocation of a cell inside an area
- Superclass GtkCellArea handles activation of focused cells
by handling key events (as well as editing of editable cells)
- Added signal "editing-started" to GtkCellArea to signal that
editing has started (generally signaled from inside event handling)
- Added properties "focus-cell" and "edited-cell"
The rationale here is that every cell in an area needs to have space
reserved around it, requests have to be fully margin inclusive...
cells need to have the full size fed as the "background area" and
the "cell area" has margins removed... This will be used by GtkTreeViewColumn
to set the focus line width so that cells can paint a background on the
full background, then render themselves into the cell area... and parents
can go ahead and draw focus and other indicators on the background area
but outside of the cell area.
Added get_allocated_cells() which returns a practical list
of cells with allocation for render/event time, this abstracts
whether the cells are individually aligned or aligned into groups,
when there are groups of cells before an alignment, those groups
get allocated on the fly for render time.
Also fixed GtkCellAreaBox to track the iters it creates and flush
them when the overall layout configuration changes (add/remove/reorder/
spacing changed etc).
Added the following to GtkCellAreaBox:
- GtkCellAreaBox:spacing property defines spacing between cells
- GtkCellAreaBox:align-cells property defines whether cells should
be aligned with cells in adjacent rows.
- Implementations for get_preferred_width / get_preferred_height
- Implementations for get_preferred_height_for_width and the other
when the box is oriented in the easy way (i.e. height_for_width()
implemented for a vertical box, no virtual allocations done yet).
Added base class to hold alignment and overall size request information
while itterating over the size requests of various rows of a GtkTreeModel,
updated GtkCellArea/GtkCellAreaBox classes accordingly.
Added the child list to GtkCellAreaBox, added _pack_start() and
_pack_end() apis to GtkCellAreaBox since they are appropriate there
and implemented GtkCellLayoutIface to override the _pack_start()/end()
methods (since the base GtkCellArea class simply forwards these apis
to the generic ->add() api on the base class).
Now GtkCellArea handles attribute connections in the base class,
subclasses only need to add/remove the renderers, render them,
do geometry and handle events.
Now GtkCellArea provides a generic way of applying attributes
from a GtkTreeModel/GtkTreeIter, GtkCellArea bookkeeps a hashtable
of GtkCellLayoutDataFunc's and completely abstracts the applying
of data to cells... GtkCellArea implementations need only to bookkeep
the added renderers and attributes (probably we can abstract the
attribute bookkeeping in the base class as well).
Things starting to take a good and practical shape.
