## Detailed Description

This interface is implemented by all widgets that can be oriented horizontally or vertically.

Historically, such widgets have been realized as subclasses of a common base class (e.g GtkBox/GtkHBox/GtkVBox and GtkScale/GtkHScale/GtkVScale). GtkOrientable is more flexible in that it allows the orientation to be changed at runtime, allowing the widgets to 'flip'.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::Orientable::~Orientable | ( | ) | `[virtual]`

## Member Function Documentation

static void Gtk::Orientable::add_interface | ( | GType | gtype_implementer ) | `[static]`

Orientation Gtk::Orientable::get_orientation | ( | ) | const

Retrieves the orientation of the orientable.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Returns:
  The orientation of the orientable.

GtkOrientable* Gtk::Orientable::gobj | ( | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::Interface.

Reimplemented in Gtk::AppChooserWidget, Gtk::Box, Gtk::VBox, Gtk::HBox, Gtk::ButtonBox, Gtk::VButtonBox, Gtk::HButtonBox, Gtk::CellAreaBox, Gtk::CellRendererProgress, Gtk::CellView, Gtk::ColorSelection, Gtk::FileChooserButton, Gtk::FileChooserWidget, Gtk::FontSelection, Gtk::Grid, Gtk::InfoBar, Gtk::Paned, Gtk::HPaned, Gtk::VPaned, Gtk::ProgressBar, Gtk::RecentChooserWidget, Gtk::ScaleButton, Gtk::Scrollbar, Gtk::VScrollbar, Gtk::HScrollbar, Gtk::Separator, Gtk::VSeparator, Gtk::HSeparator, Gtk::Statusbar, Gtk::ToolPalette, and Gtk::VolumeButton.

const GtkOrientable* Gtk::Orientable::gobj | ( | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::Interface.

Reimplemented in Gtk::AppChooserWidget, Gtk::Box, Gtk::VBox, Gtk::HBox, Gtk::ButtonBox, Gtk::VButtonBox, Gtk::HButtonBox, Gtk::CellAreaBox, Gtk::CellRendererProgress, Gtk::CellView, Gtk::ColorSelection, Gtk::FileChooserButton, Gtk::FileChooserWidget, Gtk::FontSelection, Gtk::Grid, Gtk::InfoBar, Gtk::Paned, Gtk::HPaned, Gtk::VPaned, Gtk::ProgressBar, Gtk::RecentChooserWidget, Gtk::ScaleButton, Gtk::Scrollbar, Gtk::VScrollbar, Gtk::HScrollbar, Gtk::Separator, Gtk::VSeparator, Gtk::HSeparator, Gtk::Statusbar, Gtk::ToolPalette, and Gtk::VolumeButton.

Glib::PropertyProxy<Orientation> Gtk::Orientable::property_orientation | ( | ) |

The orientation of the orientable.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Reimplemented in Gtk::Grid, and Gtk::ScaleButton.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<Orientation> Gtk::Orientable::property_orientation | ( | ) | const

The orientation of the orientable.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Reimplemented in Gtk::Grid, and Gtk::ScaleButton.

void Gtk::Orientable::set_orientation | ( | Orientation | orientation ) |

Sets the orientation of the orientable.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters:

  orientation | The orientable's new orientation.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::Orientable > wrap | ( | GtkOrientable * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
