Description

The gtk.Misc widget is an abstract widget used to derive subclasses which have alignment and padding attributes. The horizontal and vertical padding attributes allow extra space to be added around the widget. The horizontal and vertical alignment attributes enable the widget to be positioned within its allocated area. The alignment values represent the fraction of available free space (allocation minus the widget size) to place to the left or above the widget for x and y alignment respectively. Note that if the widget is added to a container in such a way that it expands automatically to fill its allocated area, the alignment settings will have no effect.

Methods

gtk.Misc.set_alignment

    def set_alignment(xalign, yalign)
xalign :the horizontal alignment
yalign :the vertical alignment

The set_alignment() method sets the alignment of the widget in its allocated space. xalign sets the fraction (0.0-1.0) of free space (horizontal allocation minus widget width) to place to the left of the widget. yalign sets the fraction (0.0-1.0) of free space (vertical allocation minus widget height) to place above the widget.

gtk.Misc.get_alignment

    def get_alignment()
Returns :a tuple containing the X and Y alignments of the widget

The get_alignment() method returns a tuple containing the X and Y alignments of the widget within its allocation. See set_alignment().

gtk.Misc.set_padding

    def set_padding(xpad, ypad)
xpad :the amount of space to add on the left and right of the widget, in pixels.
ypad :the amount of space to add on the top and bottom of the widget, in pixels.

The set_padding() method sets the amount of space to add around the widget. The xpad value specifies the number of pixels of padding to add to the left and right of the widget. The yalign value specifies the number of pixels to add above and below the widget.

gtk.Misc.get_padding

    def get_padding()
Returns :a tuple containing the horizontal and vertical padding in pixels for the widget.

The get_padding() method returns a tuple containing the padding in the horizontal and vertical directions of the widget. See set_padding().
