enum Gtk::Align

Overview

Controls how a widget deals with extra space in a single dimension.

Alignment only matters if the widget receives a “too large” allocation, for example if you packed the widget with the Gtk::Widget#hexpand property inside a #Box, then the widget might get extra space. If you have for example a 16x16 icon inside a 32x32 space, the icon could be scaled and stretched, it could be centered, or it could be positioned to one side of the space.

Note that in horizontal context %GTK_ALIGN_START and %GTK_ALIGN_END are interpreted relative to text direction.

%GTK_ALIGN_BASELINE support is optional for containers and widgets, and it is only supported for vertical alignment. When it's not supported by a child or a container it is treated as %GTK_ALIGN_FILL.

Defined in:

lib/gi-crystal/src/auto/gtk-4.0/gtk.cr
