  GTK (GIMP Toolkit) is a library for creating graphical user
  interfaces. It is licensed using the LGPL license, so you can develop
  open software, free software, or even commercial non-free software
  using GTK without having to spend anything for licenses or royalties.

  It's called the GIMP toolkit because it was originally written for
  developing the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), but GTK has now
  been used in a large number of software projects, including the GNU
  Network Object Model Environment (GNOME) project. GTK is built on top
  of GDK (GIMP Drawing Kit) which is basically a wrapper around the low-
  level functions for accessing the underlying windowing functions (Xlib
  in the case of the X windows system). The primary authors of GTK are:


  +o  Peter Mattis   petm@xcf.berkeley.edu

  +o  Spencer Kimball spencer@xcf.berkeley.edu

  +o  Josh MacDonald jmacd@xcf.berkeley.edu

  GTK is essentially an object oriented application programmers
  interface (API). Although written completely in C, it is implemented
  using the idea of classes and callback functions (pointers to
  functions).

  There is also a third component called GLib which contains a few
  replacements for some standard calls, as well as some additional
  functions for handling linked lists, etc. The replacement functions
  are used to increase GTK's portability, as some of the functions
  implemented here are not available or are nonstandard on other unixes
  such as g_strerror(). Some also contain enhancements to the libc
  versions, such as g_malloc that has enhanced debugging utilities.

  This tutorial describes the C interface to GTK. There are GTK bindings
  for many other languages including C++, Guile, Perl, Python, TOM,
  Ada95, Objective C, Free Pascal, and Eiffel. If you intend to use
  another language's bindings to GTK, look at that binding's
  documentation first. In some cases that documentation may describe
  some important conventions (which you should know first) and then
  refer you back to this tutorial. There are also some cross-platform
  APIs (such as wxWindows and V) which use GTK as one of their target
  platforms; again, consult their documentation first.

  If you're developing your GTK application in C++, a few extra notes
  are in order. There's a C++ binding to GTK called GTK--, which
  provides a more C++-like interface to GTK; you should probably look
  into this instead. If you don't like that approach for whatever
  reason, there are two alternatives for using GTK. First, you can use
  only the C subset of C++ when interfacing with GTK and then use the C
  interface as described in this tutorial. Second, you can use GTK and
  C++ together by declaring all callbacks as static functions in C++
  classes, and again calling GTK using its C interface. If you choose
  this last approach, you can include as the callback's data value a
  pointer to the object to be manipulated (the so-called "this" value).
  Selecting between these options is simply a matter of preference,
  since in all three approaches you get C++ and GTK. None of these
  approaches requires the use of a specialized preprocessor, so no
  matter what you choose you can use standard C++ with GTK.

  This tutorial is an attempt to document as much as possible of GTK,
  but it is by no means complete. This tutorial assumes a good
  understanding of C, and how to create C programs. It would be a great
  benefit for the reader to have previous X programming experience, but
  it shouldn't be necessary. If you are learning GTK as your first
  widget set, please comment on how you found this tutorial, and what
  you had trouble with. There are also C++, Objective C, ADA, Guile and
  other language bindings available, but I don't follow these.

  This document is a "work in progress". Please look for updates on
  http://www.gtk.org/.

  I would very much like to hear of any problems you have learning GTK
  from this document, and would appreciate input as to how it may be
  improved. Please see the section on ``Contributing'' for further
  information.

  The first thing to do, of course, is download the GTK source and
  install it. You can always get the latest version from ftp.gtk.org in
  /pub/gtk. You can also view other sources of GTK information on
  http://www.gtk.org/. GTK uses GNU autoconf for configuration. Once
  untar'd, type ./configure --help to see a list of options.

  The GTK source distribution also contains the complete source to all
  of the examples used in this tutorial, along with Makefiles to aid
  compilation.

  To begin our introduction to GTK, we'll start with the simplest
  program possible. This program will create a 200x200 pixel window and
  has no way of exiting except to be killed by using the shell.

















  /* example-start base base.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  int main( int   argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
      GtkWidget *window;

      gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

      window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
      gtk_widget_show  (window);

      gtk_main ();

      return(0);
  }
  /* example-end */




  You can compile the above program with gcc using:


       gcc base.c -o base `gtk-config --cflags --libs`




  The meaning of the unusual compilation options is explained below in
  ``Compiling Hello World''.

  All programs will of course include gtk/gtk.h which declares the
  variables, functions, structures, etc. that will be used in your GTK
  application.

  The next line:



       gtk_init (&argc, &argv);




  calls the function gtk_init(gint *argc, gchar ***argv) which will be
  called in all GTK applications. This sets up a few things for us such
  as the default visual and color map and then proceeds to call
  gdk_init(gint *argc, gchar ***argv). This function initializes the
  library for use, sets up default signal handlers, and checks the
  arguments passed to your application on the command line, looking for
  one of the following:


  +o  --gtk-module

  +o  --g-fatal-warnings

  +o  --gtk-debug

  +o  --gtk-no-debug

  +o  --gdk-debug

  +o  --gdk-no-debug

  +o  --display

  +o  --sync

  +o  --no-xshm

  +o  --name

  +o  --class

  It removes these from the argument list, leaving anything it does not
  recognize for your application to parse or ignore. This creates a set
  of standard arguments accepted by all GTK applications.

  The next two lines of code create and display a window.



         window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
         gtk_widget_show (window);




  The GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL argument specifies that we want the window to
  undergo window manager decoration and placement. Rather than create a
  window of 0x0 size, a window without children is set to 200x200 by
  default so you can still manipulate it.

  The gtk_widget_show() function lets GTK know that we are done setting
  the attributes of this widget, and that it can display it.

  The last line enters the GTK main processing loop.



         gtk_main ();




  gtk_main() is another call you will see in every GTK application.
  When control reaches this point, GTK will sleep waiting for X events
  (such as button or key presses), timeouts, or file IO notifications to
  occur. In our simple example, however, events are ignored.


  22..11..  HHeelllloo WWoorrlldd iinn GGTTKK

  Now for a program with a widget (a button).  It's the classic hello
  world a la GTK.













  /* example-start helloworld helloworld.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  /* This is a callback function. The data arguments are ignored
   * in this example. More on callbacks below. */
  void hello( GtkWidget *widget,
              gpointer   data )
  {
      g_print ("Hello World\n");
  }

  gint delete_event( GtkWidget *widget,
                     GdkEvent  *event,
                     gpointer   data )
  {
      /* If you return FALSE in the "delete_event" signal handler,
       * GTK will emit the "destroy" signal. Returning TRUE means
       * you don't want the window to be destroyed.
       * This is useful for popping up 'are you sure you want to quit?'
       * type dialogs. */

      g_print ("delete event occurred\n");

      /* Change TRUE to FALSE and the main window will be destroyed with
       * a "delete_event". */

      return(TRUE);
  }

  /* Another callback */
  void destroy( GtkWidget *widget,
                gpointer   data )
  {
      gtk_main_quit();
  }

  int main( int   argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
      /* GtkWidget is the storage type for widgets */
      GtkWidget *window;
      GtkWidget *button;

      /* This is called in all GTK applications. Arguments are parsed
       * from the command line and are returned to the application. */
      gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

      /* create a new window */
      window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

      /* When the window is given the "delete_event" signal (this is given
       * by the window manager, usually by the "close" option, or on the
       * titlebar), we ask it to call the delete_event () function
       * as defined above. The data passed to the callback
       * function is NULL and is ignored in the callback function. */
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "delete_event",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (delete_event), NULL);

      /* Here we connect the "destroy" event to a signal handler.
       * This event occurs when we call gtk_widget_destroy() on the window,
       * or if we return FALSE in the "delete_event" callback. */
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (destroy), NULL);

      /* Sets the border width of the window. */
      gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

      /* Creates a new button with the label "Hello World". */
      button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Hello World");

      /* When the button receives the "clicked" signal, it will call the
       * function hello() passing it NULL as its argument.  The hello()
       * function is defined above. */
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (hello), NULL);

      /* This will cause the window to be destroyed by calling
       * gtk_widget_destroy(window) when "clicked".  Again, the destroy
       * signal could come from here, or the window manager. */
      gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
                                 GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_widget_destroy),
                                 GTK_OBJECT (window));

      /* This packs the button into the window (a gtk container). */
      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);

      /* The final step is to display this newly created widget. */
      gtk_widget_show (button);

      /* and the window */
      gtk_widget_show (window);

      /* All GTK applications must have a gtk_main(). Control ends here
       * and waits for an event to occur (like a key press or

  To compile use:



       gcc -Wall -g helloworld.c -o helloworld `gtk-config --cflags` \
           `gtk-config --libs`




  This uses the program gtk-config, which comes with GTK. This program
  "knows" what compiler switches are needed to compile programs that use
  GTK. gtk-config --cflags will output a list of include directories for
  the compiler to look in, and gtk-config --libs will output the list of
  libraries for the compiler to link with and the directories to find
  them in. In the above example they could have been combined into a
  single instance, such as `gtk-config --cflags --libs`.

  Note that the type of single quote used in the compile command above
  is significant.

  The libraries that are usually linked in are:


  +o  The GTK library (-lgtk), the widget library, based on top of GDK.

  +o  The GDK library (-lgdk), the Xlib wrapper.

  +o  The gmodule library (-lgmodule), which is used to load run time
     extensions.

  +o  The GLib library (-lglib), containing miscellaneous functions; only
     g_print() is used in this particular example. GTK is built on top
     of glib so you will always require this library. See the section on
     ``GLib'' for details.

  +o  The Xlib library (-lX11) which is used by GDK.

  +o  The Xext library (-lXext). This contains code for shared memory
     pixmaps and other X extensions.

  +o  The math library (-lm). This is used by GTK for various purposes.

  Before we look in detail at _h_e_l_l_o_w_o_r_l_d, we'll discuss signals and
  callbacks. GTK is an event driven toolkit, which means it will sleep
  in gtk_main until an event occurs and control is passed to the
  appropriate function.

  This passing of control is done using the idea of "signals". (Note
  that these signals are not the same as the Unix system signals, and
  are not implemented using them, although the terminology is almost
  identical.) When an event occurs, such as the press of a mouse button,
  the appropriate signal will be "emitted" by the widget that was
  pressed.  This is how GTK does most of its useful work. There are
  signals that all widgets inherit, such as "destroy", and there are
  signals that are widget specific, such as "toggled" on a toggle
  button.

  To make a button perform an action, we set up a signal handler to
  catch these signals and call the appropriate function. This is done by
  using a function such as:



       gint gtk_signal_connect( GtkObject     *object,
                                gchar         *name,
                                GtkSignalFunc  func,
                                gpointer       func_data );




  where the first argument is the widget which will be emitting the
  signal, and the second the name of the signal you wish to catch. The
  third is the function you wish to be called when it is caught, and the
  fourth, the data you wish to have passed to this function.

  The function specified in the third argument is called a "callback
  function", and should generally be of the form



       void callback_func( GtkWidget *widget,
                           gpointer   callback_data );



  where the first argument will be a pointer to the widget that emitted
  the signal, and the second a pointer to the data given as the last
  argument to the gtk_signal_connect() function as shown above.

  Note that the above form for a signal callback function declaration is
  only a general guide, as some widget specific signals generate
  different calling parameters. For example, the CList "select_row"
  signal provides both row and column parameters.

  Another call used in the _h_e_l_l_o_w_o_r_l_d example, is:



       gint gtk_signal_connect_object( GtkObject     *object,
                                       gchar         *name,
                                       GtkSignalFunc  func,
                                       GtkObject     *slot_object );




  gtk_signal_connect_object() is the same as gtk_signal_connect() except
  that the callback function only uses one argument, a pointer to a GTK
  object. So when using this function to connect signals, the callback
  should be of the form



       void callback_func( GtkObject *object );




  where the object is usually a widget. We usually don't setup callbacks
  for gtk_signal_connect_object however. They are usually used to call a
  GTK function that accepts a single widget or object as an argument, as
  is the case in our _h_e_l_l_o_w_o_r_l_d example.

  The purpose of having two functions to connect signals is simply to
  allow the callbacks to have a different number of arguments. Many
  functions in the GTK library accept only a single GtkWidget pointer as
  an argument, so you want to use the gtk_signal_connect_object() for
  these, whereas for your functions, you may need to have additional
  data supplied to the callbacks.

  In addition to the signal mechanism described above, there is a set of
  _e_v_e_n_t_s that reflect the X event mechanism. Callbacks may also be
  attached to these events. These events are:


  +o  event

  +o  button_press_event

  +o  button_release_event

  +o  motion_notify_event

  +o  delete_event

  +o  destroy_event


  +o  expose_event

  +o  key_press_event

  +o  key_release_event

  +o  enter_notify_event

  +o  leave_notify_event

  +o  configure_event

  +o  focus_in_event

  +o  focus_out_event

  +o  map_event

  +o  unmap_event

  +o  property_notify_event

  +o  selection_clear_event

  +o  selection_request_event

  +o  selection_notify_event

  +o  proximity_in_event

  +o  proximity_out_event

  +o  drag_begin_event

  +o  drag_request_event

  +o  drag_end_event

  +o  drop_enter_event

  +o  drop_leave_event

  +o  drop_data_available_event

  +o  other_event

  In order to connect a callback function to one of these events, you
  use the function gtk_signal_connect, as described above, using one of
  the above event names as the name parameter. The callback function for
  events has a slightly different form than that for signals:



       void callback_func( GtkWidget *widget,
                           GdkEvent  *event,
                           gpointer   callback_data );




  GdkEvent is a C union structure whose type will depend upon which of
  the above events has occurred. In order for us to tell which event has
  been issued each of the possible alternatives has a type parameter
  which reflects the event being issued. The other components of the
  event structure will depend upon the type of the event. Possible
  values for the type are:
         GDK_NOTHING
         GDK_DELETE
         GDK_DESTROY
         GDK_EXPOSE
         GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY
         GDK_BUTTON_PRESS
         GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS
         GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS
         GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE
         GDK_KEY_PRESS
         GDK_KEY_RELEASE
         GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY
         GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY
         GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE
         GDK_CONFIGURE
         GDK_MAP
         GDK_UNMAP
         GDK_PROPERTY_NOTIFY
         GDK_SELECTION_CLEAR
         GDK_SELECTION_REQUEST
         GDK_SELECTION_NOTIFY
         GDK_PROXIMITY_IN
         GDK_PROXIMITY_OUT
         GDK_DRAG_BEGIN
         GDK_DRAG_REQUEST
         GDK_DROP_ENTER
         GDK_DROP_LEAVE
         GDK_DROP_DATA_AVAIL
         GDK_CLIENT_EVENT
         GDK_VISIBILITY_NOTIFY
         GDK_NO_EXPOSE
         GDK_OTHER_EVENT       /* Deprecated, use filters instead */




  So, to connect a callback function to one of these events we would use
  something like:



       gtk_signal_connect( GTK_OBJECT(button), "button_press_event",
                           GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(button_press_callback),
                           NULL);




  This assumes that button is a Button widget. Now, when the mouse is
  over the button and a mouse button is pressed, the function
  button_press_callback will be called. This function may be declared
  as:



       static gint button_press_callback( GtkWidget      *widget,
                                          GdkEventButton *event,
                                          gpointer        data );




  Note that we can declare the second argument as type GdkEventButton as
  we know what type of event will occur for this function to be called.


  The value returned from this function indicates whether the event
  should be propagated further by the GTK event handling mechanism.
  Returning TRUE indicates that the event has been handled, and that it
  should not propagate further. Returning FALSE continues the normal
  event handling.  See the section on ``Advanced Event and Signal
  Handling'' for more details on this propagation process.

  For details on the GdkEvent data types, see the appendix entitled
  ``GDK Event Types''.


  22..55..  SStteeppppiinngg TThhrroouugghh HHeelllloo WWoorrlldd

  Now that we know the theory behind this, let's clarify by walking
  through the example _h_e_l_l_o_w_o_r_l_d program.

  Here is the callback function that will be called when the button is
  "clicked". We ignore both the widget and the data in this example, but
  it is not hard to do things with them. The next example will use the
  data argument to tell us which button was pressed.



       void hello( GtkWidget *widget,
                   gpointer   data )
       {
           g_print ("Hello World\n");
       }




  The next callback is a bit special. The "delete_event" occurs when the
  window manager sends this event to the application. We have a choice
  here as to what to do about these events. We can ignore them, make
  some sort of response, or simply quit the application.

  The value you return in this callback lets GTK know what action to
  take.  By returning TRUE, we let it know that we don't want to have
  the "destroy" signal emitted, keeping our application running. By
  returning FALSE, we ask that "destroy" be emitted, which in turn will
  call our "destroy" signal handler.



       gint delete_event( GtkWidget *widget,
                          GdkEvent  *event,
                          gpointer   data )
       {
           g_print ("delete event occurred\n");

           return (TRUE);
       }




  Here is another callback function which causes the program to quit by
  calling gtk_main_quit(). This function tells GTK that it is to exit
  from gtk_main when control is returned to it.






  void destroy( GtkWidget *widget,
                gpointer   data )
  {
      gtk_main_quit ();
  }




  I assume you know about the main() function... yes, as with other
  applications, all GTK applications will also have one of these.



       int main( int   argc,
                 char *argv[] )
       {




  This next part declares pointers to a structure of type GtkWidget.
  These are used below to create a window and a button.



           GtkWidget *window;
           GtkWidget *button;




  Here is our gtk_init again. As before, this initializes the toolkit,
  and parses the arguments found on the command line. Any argument it
  recognizes from the command line, it removes from the list, and
  modifies argc and argv to make it look like they never existed,
  allowing your application to parse the remaining arguments.



           gtk_init (&argc, &argv);




  Create a new window. This is fairly straightforward. Memory is
  allocated for the GtkWidget *window structure so it now points to a
  valid structure. It sets up a new window, but it is not displayed
  until we call gtk_widget_show(window) near the end of our program.



           window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);




  Here are two examples of connecting a signal handler to an object, in
  this case, the window. Here, the "delete_event" and "destroy" signals
  are caught. The first is emitted when we use the window manager to
  kill the window, or when we use the gtk_widget_destroy() call passing
  in the window widget as the object to destroy. The second is emitted
  when, in the "delete_event" handler, we return FALSE.

  The GTK_OBJECT and GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC are macros that perform type
  casting and checking for us, as well as aid the readability of the
  code.



           gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "delete_event",
                               GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (delete_event), NULL);
           gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                               GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (destroy), NULL);




  This next function is used to set an attribute of a container object.
  This just sets the window so it has a blank area along the inside of
  it 10 pixels wide where no widgets will go. There are other similar
  functions which we will look at in the section on ``Setting Widget
  Attributes''

  And again, GTK_CONTAINER is a macro to perform type casting.



           gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);




  This call creates a new button. It allocates space for a new GtkWidget
  structure in memory, initializes it, and makes the button pointer
  point to it. It will have the label "Hello World" on it when
  displayed.



           button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Hello World");




  Here, we take this button, and make it do something useful. We attach
  a signal handler to it so when it emits the "clicked" signal, our
  hello() function is called. The data is ignored, so we simply pass in
  NULL to the hello() callback function. Obviously, the "clicked" signal
  is emitted when we click the button with our mouse pointer.



           gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
                               GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (hello), NULL);




  We are also going to use this button to exit our program. This will
  illustrate how the "destroy" signal may come from either the window
  manager, or our program. When the button is "clicked", same as above,
  it calls the first hello() callback function, and then this one in the
  order they are set up. You may have as many callback functions as you
  need, and all will be executed in the order you connected them.
  Because the gtk_widget_destroy() function accepts only a GtkWidget
  *widget as an argument, we use the gtk_signal_connect_object()
  function here instead of straight gtk_signal_connect().




      gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
                                 GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_widget_destroy),
                                 GTK_OBJECT (window));




  This is a packing call, which will be explained in depth later on in
  ``Packing Widgets''. But it is fairly easy to understand. It simply
  tells GTK that the button is to be placed in the window where it will
  be displayed. Note that a GTK container can only contain one widget.
  There are other widgets, that are described later, which are designed
  to layout multiple widgets in various ways.



           gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);




  Now we have everything set up the way we want it to be. With all the
  signal handlers in place, and the button placed in the window where it
  should be, we ask GTK to "show" the widgets on the screen. The window
  widget is shown last so the whole window will pop up at once rather
  than seeing the window pop up, and then the button form inside of it.
  Although with such a simple example, you'd never notice.



           gtk_widget_show (button);

           gtk_widget_show (window);




  And of course, we call gtk_main() which waits for events to come from
  the X server and will call on the widgets to emit signals when these
  events come.



           gtk_main ();




  And the final return. Control returns here after gtk_quit() is called.



           return (0);




  Now, when we click the mouse button on a GTK button, the widget emits
  a "clicked" signal. In order for us to use this information, our
  program sets up a signal handler to catch that signal, which
  dispatches the function of our choice. In our example, when the button
  we created is "clicked", the hello() function is called with a NULL
  argument, and then the next handler for this signal is called. This
  calls the gtk_widget_destroy() function, passing it the window widget
  as its argument, destroying the window widget. This causes the window
  to emit the "destroy" signal, which is caught, and calls our destroy()
  callback function, which simply exits GTK.

  Another course of events is to use the window manager to kill the
  window, which will cause the "delete_event" to be emitted. This will
  call our "delete_event" handler. If we return TRUE here, the window
  will be left as is and nothing will happen. Returning FALSE will cause
  GTK to emit the "destroy" signal which of course calls the "destroy"
  callback, exiting GTK.

  33..11..  DDaattaa TTyyppeess

  There are a few things you probably noticed in the previous examples
  that need explaining. The gint, gchar, etc. that you see are typedefs
  to int and char, respectively, that are part of the GLlib system. This
  is done to get around that nasty dependency on the size of simple data
  types when doing calculations.

  A good example is "gint32" which will be typedef'd to a 32 bit integer
  for any given platform, whether it be the 64 bit alpha, or the 32 bit
  i386. The typedefs are very straightforward and intuitive. They are
  all defined in glib/glib.h (which gets included from gtk.h).

  You'll also notice GTK's ability to use GtkWidget when the function
  calls for an Object. GTK is an object oriented design, and a widget is
  an object.


  33..22..  MMoorree oonn SSiiggnnaall HHaannddlleerrss

  Lets take another look at the gtk_signal_connect declaration.



       gint gtk_signal_connect( GtkObject *object,
                                gchar *name,
                                GtkSignalFunc func,
                                gpointer func_data );




  Notice the gint return value? This is a tag that identifies your
  callback function. As stated above, you may have as many callbacks per
  signal and per object as you need, and each will be executed in turn,
  in the order they were attached.

  This tag allows you to remove this callback from the list by using:



       void gtk_signal_disconnect( GtkObject *object,
                                   gint id );




  So, by passing in the widget you wish to remove the handler from, and
  the tag returned by one of the signal_connect functions, you can
  disconnect a signal handler.

  You can also temporarily disable signal handlers with the
  gtk_signal_handler_block() and gtk_signal_handler_unblock() family of
  functions.
       void gtk_signal_handler_block( GtkObject *object,
                                      guint      handler_id );

       void gtk_signal_handler_block_by_func( GtkObject     *object,
                                              GtkSignalFunc  func,
                                              gpointer       data );

       void gtk_signal_handler_block_by_data( GtkObject *object,
                                              gpointer   data );

       void gtk_signal_handler_unblock( GtkObject *object,
                                        guint      handler_id );

       void gtk_signal_handler_unblock_by_func( GtkObject     *object,
                                                GtkSignalFunc  func,
                                                gpointer       data );

       void gtk_signal_handler_unblock_by_data( GtkObject *object,
                                                gpointer   data);

  Compile this program using the same linking arguments as our first
  example.  You'll notice this time there is no easy way to exit the
  program, you have to use your window manager or command line to kill
  it. A good exercise for the reader would be to insert a third "Quit"
  button that will exit the program. You may also wish to play with the
  options to gtk_box_pack_start() while reading the next section.  Try
  resizing the window, and observe the behavior.

  Just as a side note, there is another useful define for
  gtk_window_new() - GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG. This interacts with the window
  manager a little differently and should be used for transient windows.


  44..  PPaacckkiinngg WWiiddggeettss

  When creating an application, you'll want to put more than one widget
  inside a window. Our first _h_e_l_l_o_w_o_r_l_d example only used one widget so
  we could simply use a gtk_container_add call to "pack" the widget into
  the window. But when you want to put more than one widget into a
  window, how do you control where that widget is positioned?  This is
  where packing comes in.


  44..11..  TThheeoorryy ooff PPaacckkiinngg BBooxxeess

  Most packing is done by creating boxes as in the example above. These
  are invisible widget containers that we can pack our widgets into
  which come in two forms, a horizontal box, and a vertical box. When
  packing widgets into a horizontal box, the objects are inserted
  horizontally from left to right or right to left depending on the call
  used. In a vertical box, widgets are packed from top to bottom or vice
  versa. You may use any combination of boxes inside or beside other
  boxes to create the desired effect.

  To create a new horizontal box, we use a call to gtk_hbox_new(), and
  for vertical boxes, gtk_vbox_new(). The gtk_box_pack_start() and
  gtk_box_pack_end() functions are used to place objects inside of these
  containers. The gtk_box_pack_start() function will start at the top
  and work its way down in a vbox, and pack left to right in an hbox.
  gtk_box_pack_end() will do the opposite, packing from bottom to top in
  a vbox, and right to left in an hbox. Using these functions allows us
  to right justify or left justify our widgets and may be mixed in any
  way to achieve the desired effect. We will use gtk_box_pack_start() in
  most of our examples. An object may be another container or a widget.
  In fact, many widgets are actually containers themselves, including
  the button, but we usually only use a label inside a button.

  By using these calls, GTK knows where you want to place your widgets
  so it can do automatic resizing and other nifty things. There are also
  a number of options as to how your widgets should be packed. As you
  can imagine, this method gives us a quite a bit of flexibility when
  placing and creating widgets.


  44..22..  DDeettaaiillss ooff BBooxxeess

  Because of this flexibility, packing boxes in GTK can be confusing at
  first. There are a lot of options, and it's not immediately obvious
  how they all fit together. In the end, however, there are basically
  five different styles.

  WIDTH="528" HEIGHT="235" ALT="Box Packing Example Image" > </CENTER >

  Each line contains one horizontal box (hbox) with several buttons. The
  call to gtk_box_pack is shorthand for the call to pack each of the
  buttons into the hbox. Each of the buttons is packed into the hbox the
  same way (i.e., same arguments to the gtk_box_pack_start() function).

  This is the declaration of the gtk_box_pack_start function.



       void gtk_box_pack_start( GtkBox    *box,
                                GtkWidget *child,
                                gint       expand,
                                gint       fill,
                                gint       padding );




  The first argument is the box you are packing the object into, the
  second is the object. The objects will all be buttons for now, so
  we'll be packing buttons into boxes.

  The expand argument to gtk_box_pack_start() and gtk_box_pack_end()
  controls whether the widgets are laid out in the box to fill in all
  the extra space in the box so the box is expanded to fill the area
  allotted to it (TRUE); or the box is shrunk to just fit the widgets
  (FALSE). Setting expand to FALSE will allow you to do right and left
  justification of your widgets.  Otherwise, they will all expand to fit
  into the box, and the same effect could be achieved by using only one
  of gtk_box_pack_start or gtk_box_pack_end.

  The fill argument to the gtk_box_pack functions control whether the
  extra space is allocated to the objects themselves (TRUE), or as extra
  padding in the box around these objects (FALSE). It only has an effect
  if the expand argument is also TRUE.

  When creating a new box, the function looks like this:



       GtkWidget *gtk_hbox_new (gint homogeneous,
                                gint spacing);




  The homogeneous argument to gtk_hbox_new (and the same for
  gtk_vbox_new) controls whether each object in the box has the same
  size (i.e., the same width in an hbox, or the same height in a vbox).
  If it is set, the gtk_box_pack routines function essentially as if the
  expand argument was always turned on.

  What's the difference between spacing (set when the box is created)
  and padding (set when elements are packed)? Spacing is added between
  objects, and padding is added on either side of an object. The
  following figure should make it clearer:

  <CENTER > <IMG ALIGN="center" SRC="gtk_tut_packbox2.gif" WIDTH="509"
  HEIGHT="213" VSPACE="15" HSPACE="10" ALT="Box Packing Example Image" >
  </CENTER >

  Here is the code used to create the above images. I've commented it
  fairly heavily so I hope you won't have any problems following it.
  Compile it yourself and play with it.

  Let's take a look at another way of packing - Tables. These can be
  extremely useful in certain situations.

  Using tables, we create a grid that we can place widgets in. The
  widgets may take up as many spaces as we specify.

  The first thing to look at, of course, is the gtk_table_new function:



       GtkWidget *gtk_table_new( gint rows,
                                 gint columns,
                                 gint homogeneous );




  The first argument is the number of rows to make in the table, while
  the second, obviously, is the number of columns.

  The homogeneous argument has to do with how the table's boxes are
  sized. If homogeneous is TRUE, the table boxes are resized to the size
  of the largest widget in the table. If homogeneous is FALSE, the size
  of a table boxes is dictated by the tallest widget in its same row,
  and the widest widget in its column.

  The rows and columns are laid out from 0 to n, where n was the number
  specified in the call to gtk_table_new. So, if you specify rows = 2
  and columns = 2, the layout would look something like this:

        0          1          2
       0+----------+----------+
        |          |          |
       1+----------+----------+
        |          |          |
       2+----------+----------+




  Note that the coordinate system starts in the upper left hand corner.
  To place a widget into a box, use the following function:



       void gtk_table_attach( GtkTable  *table,
                              GtkWidget *child,
                              gint       left_attach,
                              gint       right_attach,
                              gint       top_attach,
                              gint       bottom_attach,
                              gint       xoptions,
                              gint       yoptions,
                              gint       xpadding,
                              gint       ypadding );





  The first argument ("table") is the table you've created and the
  second ("child") the widget you wish to place in the table.

  The left and right attach arguments specify where to place the widget,
  and how many boxes to use. If you want a button in the lower right
  table entry of our 2x2 table, and want it to fill that entry ONLY,
  left_attach would be = 1, right_attach = 2, top_attach = 1,
  bottom_attach = 2.

  Now, if you wanted a widget to take up the whole top row of our 2x2
  table, you'd use left_attach = 0, right_attach = 2, top_attach = 0,
  bottom_attach = 1.

  The xoptions and yoptions are used to specify packing options and may
  be bitwise OR'ed together to allow multiple options.

  These options are:

  +o  GTK_FILL - If the table box is larger than the widget, and GTK_FILL
     is specified, the widget will expand to use all the room available.

  +o  GTK_SHRINK - If the table widget was allocated less space then was
     requested (usually by the user resizing the window), then the
     widgets would normally just be pushed off the bottom of the window
     and disappear. If GTK_SHRINK is specified, the widgets will shrink
     with the table.

  +o  GTK_EXPAND - This will cause the table to expand to use up any
     remaining space in the window.

  Padding is just like in boxes, creating a clear area around the widget
  specified in pixels.

  gtk_table_attach() has a LOT of options.  So, there's a shortcut:


       void gtk_table_attach_defaults( GtkTable  *table,
                                       GtkWidget *widget,
                                       gint       left_attach,
                                       gint       right_attach,
                                       gint       top_attach,
                                       gint       bottom_attach );




  The X and Y options default to GTK_FILL | GTK_EXPAND, and X and Y
  padding are set to 0. The rest of the arguments are identical to the
  previous function.

  We also have gtk_table_set_row_spacing() and
  gtk_table_set_col_spacing(). These places spacing between the rows at
  the specified row or column.



       void gtk_table_set_row_spacing( GtkTable *table,
                                       gint      row,
                                       gint      spacing );




  and

                                        gint      spacing );




  Note that for columns, the space goes to the right of the column, and
  for rows, the space goes below the row.

  You can also set a consistent spacing of all rows and/or columns with:



       void gtk_table_set_row_spacings( GtkTable *table,
                                        gint      spacing );




  And,



       void gtk_table_set_col_spacings( GtkTable *table,
                                        gint      spacing );




  Note that with these calls, the last row and last column do not get
  any spacing.

  Here we make a window with three buttons in a 2x2 table.  The first
  two buttons will be placed in the upper row.  A third, quit button, is
  placed in the lower row, spanning both columns.  Which means it should
  look something like this:

  The general steps to creating a widget in GTK are:

  1. gtk_*_new - one of various functions to create a new widget.  These
     are all detailed in this section.

  2. Connect all signals and events we wish to use to the appropriate
     handlers.

  3. Set the attributes of the widget.

  4. Pack the widget into a container using the appropriate call such as
     gtk_container_add() or gtk_box_pack_start().

  5. gtk_widget_show() the widget.

  gtk_widget_show() lets GTK know that we are done setting the
  attributes of the widget, and it is ready to be displayed. You may
  also use gtk_widget_hide to make it disappear again. The order in
  which you show the widgets is not important, but I suggest showing the
  window last so the whole window pops up at once rather than seeing the
  individual widgets come up on the screen as they're formed. The
  children of a widget (a window is a widget too) will not be displayed
  until the window itself is shown using the gtk_widget_show() function.

  You'll notice as you go on that GTK uses a type casting system. This
  is always done using macros that both test the ability to cast the
  given item, and perform the cast. Some common ones you will see are:



         GTK_WIDGET(widget)
         GTK_OBJECT(object)
         GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(function)
         GTK_CONTAINER(container)
         GTK_WINDOW(window)
         GTK_BOX(box)




  These are all used to cast arguments in functions. You'll see them in
  the examples, and can usually tell when to use them simply by looking
  at the function's declaration.

  As you can see below in the class hierarchy, all GtkWidgets are
  derived from the Object base class. This means you can use a widget in
  any place the function asks for an object - simply use the
  GTK_OBJECT() macro.

  For example:



       gtk_signal_connect( GTK_OBJECT(button), "clicked",
                           GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(callback_function), callback_data);





  This casts the button into an object, and provides a cast for the
  function pointer to the callback.

  Many widgets are also containers. If you look in the class hierarchy
  below, you'll notice that many widgets derive from the Container
  class. Any one of these widgets may be used with the GTK_CONTAINER
  macro to pass them to functions that ask for containers.

  Unfortunately, these macros are not extensively covered in the
  tutorial, but I recommend taking a look through the GTK header files.
  It can be very educational. In fact, it's not difficult to learn how a
  widget works just by looking at the function declarations.

  We've almost seen all there is to see of the button widget. It's
  pretty simple. There are however two ways to create a button. You can
  use the gtk_button_new_with_label() to create a button with a label,
  or use gtk_button_new() to create a blank button. It's then up to you
  to pack a label or pixmap into this new button. To do this, create a
  new box, and then pack your objects into this box using the usual
  gtk_box_pack_start, and then use gtk_container_add to pack the box
  into the button.

  Here's an example of using gtk_button_new to create a button with a
  picture and a label in it. I've broken up the code to create a box
  from the rest so you can use it in your programs. There are further
  examples of using pixmaps later in the tutorial.

















































  /* example-start buttons buttons.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  /* Create a new hbox with an image and a label packed into it
   * and return the box. */

  GtkWidget *xpm_label_box( GtkWidget *parent,
                            gchar     *xpm_filename,
                            gchar     *label_text )
  {
      GtkWidget *box1;
      GtkWidget *label;
      GtkWidget *pixmapwid;
      GdkPixmap *pixmap;
      GdkBitmap *mask;
      GtkStyle *style;

      /* Create box for xpm and label */
      box1 = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 0);
      gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (box1), 2);

      /* Get the style of the button to get the
       * background color. */
      style = gtk_widget_get_style(parent);

      /* Now on to the xpm stuff */
      pixmap = gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm (parent->window, &mask,
                                           &style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL],
                                           xpm_filename);
      pixmapwid = gtk_pixmap_new (pixmap, mask);

      /* Create a label for the button */
      label = gtk_label_new (label_text);

      /* Pack the pixmap and label into the box */
      gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (box1),
                          pixmapwid, FALSE, FALSE, 3);

      gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (box1), label, FALSE, FALSE, 3);

      gtk_widget_show(pixmapwid);
      gtk_widget_show(label);

      return(box1);
  }

  /* Our usual callback function */
  void callback( GtkWidget *widget,
                 gpointer   data )
  {
      g_print ("Hello again - %s was pressed\n", (char *) data);
  }


  int main( int   argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
      /* GtkWidget is the storage type for widgets */
      GtkWidget *window;
      GtkWidget *button;
      GtkWidget *box1;

      gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

      /* Create a new window */
      window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

      gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Pixmap'd Buttons!");

      /* It's a good idea to do this for all windows. */
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_exit), NULL);

      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "delete_event",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_exit), NULL);

      /* Sets the border width of the window. */
      gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);
      gtk_widget_realize(window);

      /* Create a new button */
      button = gtk_button_new ();

      /* Connect the "clicked" signal of the button to our callback */
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (callback), (gpointer) "cool button");

      /* This calls our box creating function */
      box1 = xpm_label_box(window, "info.xpm", "cool button");

      /* Pack and show all our widgets */
      gtk_widget_show(box1);

      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (button), box1);

      gtk_widget_show(button);

      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);

      gtk_widget_show (window);

      /* Rest in gtk_main and wait for the fun to begin! */
      gtk_main ();

      return(0);
  }
  /* example-end */




  The xpm_label_box function could be used to pack xpm's and labels into
  any widget that can be a container.

  Notice in xpm_label_box how there is a call to gtk_widget_get_style.
  Every widget has a "style", consisting of foreground and background
  colors for a variety of situations, font selection, and other graphics
  data relevant to a widget. These style values are defaulted in each
  widget, and are required by many GDK function calls, such as
  gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm, which here is given the "normal"
  background color. The style data of widgets may be customized, using
  ``GTK's rc files''.

  Also notice the call to gtk_widget_realize after setting the window's
  border width. This function uses GDK to create the X windows related
  to the widget. The function is automatically called when you invoke
  gtk_widget_show for a widget, and so has not been shown in earlier
  examples. But the call to gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm requires that its
  window argument refer to a real X window, so it is necessary to
  realize the widget before this GDK call.

  The Button widget has the following signals:


  +o  pressed - emitted when pointer button is pressed within Button
     widget

  +o  released - emitted when pointer button is released within Button
     widget

  +o  clicked - emitted when pointer button is pressed and then released
     within Button widget

  +o  enter - emitted when pointer enters Button widget

  +o  leave - emitted when pointer leaves Button widget

  Toggle buttons are derived from normal buttons and are very similar,
  except they will always be in one of two states, alternated by a
  click. They may be depressed, and when you click again, they will pop
  back up. Click again, and they will pop back down.

  Toggle buttons are the basis for check buttons and radio buttons, as
  such, many of the calls used for toggle buttons are inherited by radio
  and check buttons. I will point these out when we come to them.

  Creating a new toggle button:



       GtkWidget *gtk_toggle_button_new( void );

       GtkWidget *gtk_toggle_button_new_with_label( gchar *label );




  As you can imagine, these work identically to the normal button widget
  calls. The first creates a blank toggle button, and the second, a
  button with a label widget already packed into it.

  To retrieve the state of the toggle widget, including radio and check
  buttons, we use a construct as shown in our example below. This tests
  the state of the toggle, by accessing the active field of the toggle
  widget's structure, after first using the GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON macro to
  cast the widget pointer into a toggle widget pointer. The signal of
  interest to us emitted by toggle buttons (the toggle button, check
  button, and radio button widgets) is the "toggled" signal. To check
  the state of these buttons, set up a signal handler to catch the
  toggled signal, and access the structure to determine its state. The
  callback will look something like:













  void toggle_button_callback (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
  {
      if (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (widget)->active)
      {
          /* If control reaches here, the toggle button is down */

      } else {

          /* If control reaches here, the toggle button is up */
      }
  }




  To force the state of a toggle button, and its children, the radio and
  check buttons, use this function:



       void gtk_toggle_button_set_active( GtkToggleButton *toggle_button,
                                         gint             state );




  The above call can be used to set the state of the toggle button, and
  its children the radio and check buttons. Passing in your created
  button as the first argument, and a TRUE or FALSE for the second state
  argument to specify whether it should be down (depressed) or up
  (released). Default is up, or FALSE.

  Note that when you use the gtk_toggle_button_set_active() function,
  and the state is actually changed, it causes the "clicked" signal to
  be emitted from the button.



       void gtk_toggle_button_toggled (GtkToggleButton *toggle_button);




  This simply toggles the button, and emits the "toggled" signal.


  66..33..  CChheecckk BBuuttttoonnss

  Check buttons inherit many properties and functions from the the
  toggle buttons above, but look a little different. Rather than being
  buttons with text inside them, they are small squares with the text to
  the right of them. These are often used for toggling options on and
  off in applications.

  The two creation functions are similar to those of the normal button.



       GtkWidget *gtk_check_button_new( void );

       GtkWidget *gtk_check_button_new_with_label ( gchar *label );





  The new_with_label function creates a check button with a label beside
  it.

  Checking the state of the check button is identical to that of the
  toggle button.


  66..44..  RRaaddiioo BBuuttttoonnss

  Radio buttons are similar to check buttons except they are grouped so
  that only one may be selected/depressed at a time. This is good for
  places in your application where you need to select from a short list
  of options.

  Creating a new radio button is done with one of these calls:



       GtkWidget *gtk_radio_button_new( GSList *group );

       GtkWidget *gtk_radio_button_new_with_label( GSList *group,
                                                   gchar  *label );




  You'll notice the extra argument to these calls. They require a group
  to perform their duty properly. The first call to
  gtk_radio_button_new_with_label or gtk_radio_button_new_with_label
  should pass NULL as the first argument. Then create a group using:



       GSList *gtk_radio_button_group( GtkRadioButton *radio_button );




  The important thing to remember is that gtk_radio_button_group must be
  called for each new button added to the group, with the previous
  button passed in as an argument. The result is then passed into the
  next call to gtk_radio_button_new or gtk_radio_button_new_with_label.
  This allows a chain of buttons to be established. The example below
  should make this clear.

  You can shorten this slightly by using the following syntax, which
  removes the need for a variable to hold the list of buttons. This form
  is used in the example to create the third button:



            button2 = gtk_radio_button_new_with_label(
                        gtk_radio_button_group (GTK_RADIO_BUTTON (button1)),
                        "button2");




  It is also a good idea to explicitly set which button should be the
  default depressed button with:



       void gtk_toggle_button_set_active( GtkToggleButton *toggle_button,
                                         gint             state );

  This is described in the section on toggle buttons, and works in
  exactly the same way.  Once the radio buttons are grouped together,
  only one of the group may be active at a time. If the user clicks on
  one radio button, and then on another, the first radio button will
  first emit a "toggled" signal (to report becoming inactive), and then
  the second will emit its "toggled" signal (to report becoming active).

  The following example creates a radio button group with three buttons.

  GTK has various widgets that can be visually adjusted by the user
  using the mouse or the keyboard, such as the range widgets, described
  in the ``Range Widgets'' section. There are also a few widgets that
  display some adjustable portion of a larger area of data, such as the
  text widget and the viewport widget.

  Obviously, an application needs to be able to react to changes the
  user makes in range widgets. One way to do this would be to have each
  widget emit its own type of signal when its adjustment changes, and
  either pass the new value to the signal handler, or require it to look
  inside the widget's data structure in order to ascertain the value.
  But you may also want to connect the adjustments of several widgets
  together, so that adjusting one adjusts the others. The most obvious
  example of this is connecting a scrollbar to a panning viewport or a
  scrolling text area. If each widget has its own way of setting or
  getting the adjustment value, then the programmer may have to write
  their own signal handlers to translate between the output of one
  widget's signal and the "input" of another's adjustment setting
  function.

  GTK solves this problem using the Adjustment object, which is not a
  widget but a way for widgets to store and pass adjustment information
  in an abstract and flexible form. The most obvious use of Adjustment
  is to store the configuration parameters and values of range widgets,
  such as scrollbars and scale controls. However, since Adjustments are
  derived from Object, they have some special powers beyond those of
  normal data structures. Most importantly, they can emit signals, just
  like widgets, and these signals can be used not only to allow your
  program to react to user input on adjustable widgets, but also to
  propagate adjustment values transparently between adjustable widgets.

  You will see how adjustments fit in when you see the other widgets
  that incorporate them: ``Progress Bars'', ``Viewports'', ``Scrolled
  Windows'', and others.


  77..11..  CCrreeaattiinngg aann AAddjjuussttmmeenntt

  Many of the widgets which use adjustment objects do so automatically,
  but some cases will be shown in later examples where you may need to
  create one yourself. You create an adjustment using:
       GtkObject *gtk_adjustment_new( gfloat value,
                                      gfloat lower,
                                      gfloat upper,
                                      gfloat step_increment,
                                      gfloat page_increment,
                                      gfloat page_size );




  The value argument is the initial value you want to give to the
  adjustment, usually corresponding to the topmost or leftmost position
  of an adjustable widget. The lower argument specifies the lowest value
  which the adjustment can hold. The step_increment argument specifies
  the "smaller" of the two increments by which the user can change the
  value, while the page_increment is the "larger" one.  The page_size
  argument usually corresponds somehow to the visible area of a panning
  widget. The upper argument is used to represent the bottom most or
  right most coordinate in a panning widget's child. Therefore it is _n_o_t
  always the largest number that value can take, since the page_size of
  such widgets is usually non-zero.


  77..22..  UUssiinngg AAddjjuussttmmeennttss tthhee EEaassyy WWaayy

  The adjustable widgets can be roughly divided into those which use and
  require specific units for these values and those which treat them as
  arbitrary numbers. The group which treats the values as arbitrary
  numbers includes the range widgets (scrollbars and scales, the
  progress bar widget, and the spin button widget). These widgets are
  all the widgets which are typically "adjusted" directly by the user
  with the mouse or keyboard. They will treat the lower and upper values
  of an adjustment as a range within which the user can manipulate the
  adjustment's value. By default, they will only modify the value of an
  adjustment.

  The other group includes the text widget, the viewport widget, the
  compound list widget, and the scrolled window widget. All of these
  widgets use pixel values for their adjustments. These are also all
  widgets which are typically "adjusted" indirectly using scrollbars.
  While all widgets which use adjustments can either create their own
  adjustments or use ones you supply, you'll generally want to let this
  particular category of widgets create its own adjustments. Usually,
  they will eventually override all the values except the value itself
  in whatever adjustments you give them, but the results are, in
  general, undefined (meaning, you'll have to read the source code to
  find out, and it may be different from widget to widget).

  Now, you're probably thinking, since text widgets and viewports insist
  on setting everything except the value of their adjustments, while
  scrollbars will _o_n_l_y touch the adjustment's value, if you _s_h_a_r_e an
  adjustment object between a scrollbar and a text widget, manipulating
  the scrollbar will automagically adjust the text widget?  Of course it
  will! Just like this:



         /* creates its own adjustments */
         text = gtk_text_new (NULL, NULL);
         /* uses the newly-created adjustment for the scrollbar as well */
         vscrollbar = gtk_vscrollbar_new (GTK_TEXT(text)->vadj);





  77..33..  AAddjjuussttmmeenntt IInntteerrnnaallss

  Ok, you say, that's nice, but what if I want to create my own handlers
  to respond when the user adjusts a range widget or a spin button, and
  how do I get at the value of the adjustment in these handlers?  To
  answer these questions and more, let's start by taking a look at
  struct _GtkAdjustment itself:



       struct _GtkAdjustment
       {
         GtkData data;

         gfloat lower;
         gfloat upper;
         gfloat value;
         gfloat step_increment;
         gfloat page_increment;
         gfloat page_size;
       };




  The first thing you should know is that there aren't any handy-dandy
  macros or accessor functions for getting the value out of an
  Adjustment, so you'll have to (horror of horrors) do it like a _r_e_a_l C
  programmer.  Don't worry - the GTK_ADJUSTMENT (Object) macro does run-
  time type checking (as do all the GTK type-casting macros, actually).

  Since, when you set the value of an adjustment, you generally want the
  change to be reflected by every widget that uses this adjustment, GTK
  provides this convenience function to do this:



       void gtk_adjustment_set_value( GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                                      gfloat         value );




  As mentioned earlier, Adjustment is a subclass of Object just like all
  the various widgets, and thus it is able to emit signals.  This is, of
  course, why updates happen automagically when you share an adjustment
  object between a scrollbar and another adjustable widget; all
  adjustable widgets connect signal handlers to their adjustment's
  value_changed signal, as can your program. Here's the definition of
  this signal in struct _GtkAdjustmentClass:



         void (* value_changed) (GtkAdjustment *adjustment);




  The various widgets that use the Adjustment object will emit this
  signal on an adjustment whenever they change its value. This happens
  both when user input causes the slider to move on a range widget, as
  well as when the program explicitly changes the value with
  gtk_adjustment_set_value(). So, for example, if you have a scale
  widget, and you want to change the rotation of a picture whenever its
  value changes, you would create a callback like this:

       void cb_rotate_picture (GtkAdjustment *adj, GtkWidget *picture)
       {
         set_picture_rotation (picture, adj->value);
       ...




  and connect it to the scale widget's adjustment like this:



       gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (adj), "value_changed",
                           GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (cb_rotate_picture), picture);




  What about when a widget reconfigures the upper or lower fields of its
  adjustment, such as when a user adds more text to a text widget?  In
  this case, it emits the changed signal, which looks like this:



         void (* changed)       (GtkAdjustment *adjustment);




  Range widgets typically connect a handler to this signal, which
  changes their appearance to reflect the change - for example, the size
  of the slider in a scrollbar will grow or shrink in inverse proportion
  to the difference between the lower and upper values of its
  adjustment.

  You probably won't ever need to attach a handler to this signal,
  unless you're writing a new type of range widget.  However, if you
  change any of the values in a Adjustment directly, you should emit
  this signal on it to reconfigure whatever widgets are using it, like
  this:



       gtk_signal_emit_by_name (GTK_OBJECT (adjustment), "changed");




  Now go forth and adjust!

  88..  RRaannggee WWiiddggeettss

  The category of range widgets includes the ubiquitous scrollbar widget
  and the less common "scale" widget. Though these two types of widgets
  are generally used for different purposes, they are quite similar in
  function and implementation. All range widgets share a set of common
  graphic elements, each of which has its own X window and receives
  events. They all contain a "trough" and a "slider" (what is sometimes
  called a "thumbwheel" in other GUI environments). Dragging the slider
  with the pointer moves it back and forth within the trough, while
  clicking in the trough advances the slider towards the location of the
  click, either completely, or by a designated amount, depending on
  which mouse button is used.

  As mentioned in ``Adjustments'' above, all range widgets are
  associated with an adjustment object, from which they calculate the
  length of the slider and its position within the trough. When the user
  manipulates the slider, the range widget will change the value of the
  adjustment.


  88..11..  SSccrroollllbbaarr WWiiddggeettss

  These are your standard, run-of-the-mill scrollbars. These should be
  used only for scrolling some other widget, such as a list, a text box,
  or a viewport (and it's generally easier to use the scrolled window
  widget in most cases).  For other purposes, you should use scale
  widgets, as they are friendlier and more featureful.

  There are separate types for horizontal and vertical scrollbars.
  There really isn't much to say about these. You create them with the
  following functions, defined in <gtk/gtkhscrollbar.h> and
  <gtk/gtkvscrollbar.h>:



       GtkWidget *gtk_hscrollbar_new( GtkAdjustment *adjustment );

       GtkWidget *gtk_vscrollbar_new( GtkAdjustment *adjustment );




  and that's about it (if you don't believe me, look in the header
  files!).  The adjustment argument can either be a pointer to an
  existing Adjustment, or NULL, in which case one will be created for
  you. Specifying NULL might actually be useful in this case, if you
  wish to pass the newly-created adjustment to the constructor function
  of some other widget which will configure it for you, such as a text
  widget.

  88..22..  SSccaallee WWiiddggeettss

  Scale widgets are used to allow the user to visually select and
  manipulate a value within a specific range. You might want to use a
  scale widget, for example, to adjust the magnification level on a
  zoomed preview of a picture, or to control the brightness of a color,
  or to specify the number of minutes of inactivity before a screensaver
  takes over the screen.


  88..22..11..  CCrreeaattiinngg aa SSccaallee WWiiddggeett

  As with scrollbars, there are separate widget types for horizontal and
  vertical scale widgets. (Most programmers seem to favour horizontal
  scale widgets.) Since they work essentially the same way, there's no
  need to treat them separately here. The following functions, defined
  in <gtk/gtkvscale.h> and <gtk/gtkhscale.h>, create vertical and
  horizontal scale widgets, respectively:



       GtkWidget *gtk_vscale_new( GtkAdjustment *adjustment );

       GtkWidget *gtk_hscale_new( GtkAdjustment *adjustment );




  The adjustment argument can either be an adjustment which has already
  been created with gtk_adjustment_new(), or NULL, in which case, an
  anonymous Adjustment is created with all of its values set to 0.0
  (which isn't very useful in this case). In order to avoid confusing
  yourself, you probably want to create your adjustment with a page_size
  of 0.0 so that its upper value actually corresponds to the highest
  value the user can select.  (If you're _a_l_r_e_a_d_y thoroughly confused,
  read the section on ``Adjustments'' again for an explanation of what
  exactly adjustments do and how to create and manipulate them.)


  88..22..22..  FFuunnccttiioonnss aanndd SSiiggnnaallss ((wweellll,, ffuunnccttiioonnss,, aatt lleeaasstt))

  Scale widgets can display their current value as a number beside the
  trough. The default behaviour is to show the value, but you can change
  this with this function:



       void gtk_scale_set_draw_value( GtkScale *scale,
                                      gint      draw_value );




  As you might have guessed, draw_value is either TRUE or FALSE, with
  predictable consequences for either one.

  The value displayed by a scale widget is rounded to one decimal point
  by default, as is the value field in its GtkAdjustment. You can change
  this with:



       void gtk_scale_set_digits( GtkScale *scale,
                                   gint     digits );




  where digits is the number of decimal places you want. You can set
  digits to anything you like, but no more than 13 decimal places will
  actually be drawn on screen.

  Finally, the value can be drawn in different positions relative to the
  trough:



       void gtk_scale_set_value_pos( GtkScale        *scale,
                                     GtkPositionType  pos );




  The argument pos is of type GtkPositionType, which is defined in
  <gtk/gtkenums.h>, and can take one of the following values:



         GTK_POS_LEFT
         GTK_POS_RIGHT
         GTK_POS_TOP
         GTK_POS_BOTTOM





  If you position the value on the "side" of the trough (e.g., on the
  top or bottom of a horizontal scale widget), then it will follow the
  slider up and down the trough.

  All the preceding functions are defined in <gtk/gtkscale.h>. The
  header files for all GTK widgets are automatically included when you
  include <gtk/gtk.h>. But you should look over the header files of all
  widgets that interest you,


  88..33..  CCoommmmoonn RRaannggee FFuunnccttiioonnss

  The Range widget class is fairly complicated internally, but, like all
  the "base class" widgets, most of its complexity is only interesting
  if you want to hack on it. Also, almost all of the functions and
  signals it defines are only really used in writing derived widgets.
  There are, however, a few useful functions that are defined in
  <gtk/gtkrange.h> and will work on all range widgets.


  88..33..11..  SSeettttiinngg tthhee UUppddaattee PPoolliiccyy

  The "update policy" of a range widget defines at what points during
  user interaction it will change the value field of its Adjustment and
  emit the "value_changed" signal on this Adjustment. The update
  policies, defined in <gtk/gtkenums.h> as type enum GtkUpdateType, are:


  +o  GTK_UPDATE_POLICY_CONTINUOUS - This is the default. The
     "value_changed" signal is emitted continuously, i.e., whenever the
     slider is moved by even the tiniest amount.

  +o  GTK_UPDATE_POLICY_DISCONTINUOUS - The "value_changed" signal is
     only emitted once the slider has stopped moving and the user has
     released the mouse button.

  +o  GTK_UPDATE_POLICY_DELAYED - The "value_changed" signal is emitted
     when the user releases the mouse button, or if the slider stops
     moving for a short period of time.

  The update policy of a range widget can be set by casting it using the
  GTK_RANGE (Widget) macro and passing it to this function:



       void gtk_range_set_update_policy( GtkRange      *range,
                                         GtkUpdateType  policy) ;





  88..33..22..  GGeettttiinngg aanndd SSeettttiinngg AAddjjuussttmmeennttss

  Getting and setting the adjustment for a range widget "on the fly" is
  done, predictably, with:



       GtkAdjustment* gtk_range_get_adjustment( GtkRange *range );

       void gtk_range_set_adjustment( GtkRange      *range,
                                      GtkAdjustment *adjustment );



  gtk_range_get_adjustment() returns a pointer to the adjustment to
  which range is connected.

  gtk_range_set_adjustment() does absolutely nothing if you pass it the
  adjustment that range is already using, regardless of whether you
  changed any of its fields or not. If you pass it a new Adjustment, it
  will unreference the old one if it exists (possibly destroying it),
  connect the appropriate signals to the new one, and call the private
  function gtk_range_adjustment_changed(), which will (or at least, is
  supposed to...) recalculate the size and/or position of the slider and
  redraw if necessary. As mentioned in the section on adjustments, if
  you wish to reuse the same Adjustment, when you modify its values
  directly, you should emit the "changed" signal on it, like this:



       gtk_signal_emit_by_name (GTK_OBJECT (adjustment), "changed");




  88..44..  KKeeyy aanndd MMoouussee bbiinnddiinnggss

  All of the GTK range widgets react to mouse clicks in more or less the
  same way. Clicking button-1 in the trough will cause its adjustment's
  page_increment to be added or subtracted from its value, and the
  slider to be moved accordingly. Clicking mouse button-2 in the trough
  will jump the slider to the point at which the button was clicked.
  Clicking any button on a scrollbar's arrows will cause its
  adjustment's value to change step_increment at a time.

  It may take a little while to get used to, but by default, scrollbars
  as well as scale widgets can take the keyboard focus in GTK. If you
  think your users will find this too confusing, you can always disable
  this by unsetting the GTK_CAN_FOCUS flag on the scrollbar, like this:



       GTK_WIDGET_UNSET_FLAGS (scrollbar, GTK_CAN_FOCUS);




  The key bindings (which are, of course, only active when the widget
  has focus) are slightly different between horizontal and vertical
  range widgets, for obvious reasons. They are also not quite the same
  for scale widgets as they are for scrollbars, for somewhat less
  obvious reasons (possibly to avoid confusion between the keys for
  horizontal and vertical scrollbars in scrolled windows, where both
  operate on the same area).


  88..44..11..  VVeerrttiiccaall RRaannggee WWiiddggeettss

  All vertical range widgets can be operated with the up and down arrow
  keys, as well as with the Page Up and Page Down keys. The arrows move
  the slider up and down by step_increment, while Page Up and Page Down
  move it by page_increment.

  The user can also move the slider all the way to one end or the other
  of the trough using the keyboard. With the VScale widget, this is done
  with the Home and End keys, whereas with the VScrollbar widget, this
  is done by typing Control-Page Up and Control-Page Down.



  88..44..22..  HHoorriizzoonnttaall RRaannggee WWiiddggeettss

  The left and right arrow keys work as you might expect in these
  widgets, moving the slider back and forth by step_increment. The Home
  and End keys move the slider to the ends of the trough.  For the
  HScale widget, moving the slider by page_increment is accomplished
  with Control-Left and Control-Right, while for HScrollbar, it's done
  with Control-Home and Control-End.

  88..55..  EExxaammppllee

  This example is a somewhat modified version of the "range controls"
  test from testgtk.c. It basically puts up a window with three range
  widgets all connected to the same adjustment, and a couple of controls
  for adjusting some of the parameters mentioned above and in the
  section on adjustments, so you can see how they affect the way these
  widgets work for the user.

  You will notice that the program does not call gtk_signal_connect for
  the "delete_event", but only for the "destroy" signal. This will still
  perform the desired function, because an unhandled "delete_event" will
  result in a "destroy" signal being given to the window.

  Labels are used a lot in GTK, and are relatively simple. Labels emit
  no signals as they do not have an associated X window. If you need to
  catch signals, or do clipping, place it inside a ``EventBox'' widget
  or a Button widget.

  To create a new label, use:



       GtkWidget *gtk_label_new( char *str );




  The sole argument is the string you wish the label to display.

  To change the label's text after creation, use the function:



       void gtk_label_set_text( GtkLabel *label,
                                char     *str );



  The first argument is the label you created previously (cast using the
  GTK_LABEL() macro), and the second is the new string.

  The space needed for the new string will be automatically adjusted if
  needed. You can produce multi-line labels by putting line breaks in
  the label string.

  To retrieve the current string, use:



       void gtk_label_get( GtkLabel  *label,
                           char     **str );




  The first argument is the label you've created, and the second, the
  return for the string. Do not free the return string, as it is used
  internally by GTK.

  The label text can be justified using:



       void gtk_label_set_justify( GtkLabel         *label,
                                   GtkJustification  jtype );




  Values for jtype are:


         GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT
         GTK_JUSTIFY_RIGHT
         GTK_JUSTIFY_CENTER (the default)
         GTK_JUSTIFY_FILL




  The label widget is also capable of line wrapping the text
  automatically. This can be activated using:



       void gtk_label_set_line_wrap (GtkLabel *label,
                                     gboolean  wrap);




  The wrap argument takes a TRUE or FALSE value.

  If you want your label underlined, then you can set a pattern on the
  label:



       void       gtk_label_set_pattern   (GtkLabel          *label,
                                           const gchar       *pattern);




  The pattern argument indicates how the underlining should look. It
  consists of a string of underscore and space characters. An underscore
  indicates that the corresponding character in the label should be
  underlined. For example, the string

  "__     __"


  first two characters and eight and ninth characters.

  Below is a short example to illustrate these functions. This example
  makes use of the Frame widget to better demonstrate the label styles.
  You can ignore this for now as the ``Frame'' widget is explained later
  on.

  The Arrow widget draws an arrowhead, facing in a number of possible
  directions and having a number of possible styles. It can be very
  useful when placed on a button in many applications. Like the Label
  widget, it emits no signals.

  There are only two functions for manipulating an Arrow widget:



       GtkWidget *gtk_arrow_new( GtkArrowType   arrow_type,
                                 GtkShadowType  shadow_type );

       void gtk_arrow_set( GtkArrow      *arrow,
                           GtkArrowType   arrow_type,
                           GtkShadowType  shadow_type );




  The first creates a new arrow widget with the indicated type and
  appearance. The second allows these values to be altered
  retrospectively. The arrow_type argument may take one of the following
  values:
         GTK_ARROW_UP
         GTK_ARROW_DOWN
         GTK_ARROW_LEFT
         GTK_ARROW_RIGHT




  These values obviously indicate the direction in which the arrow will
  point. The shadow_type argument may take one of these values:



         GTK_SHADOW_IN
         GTK_SHADOW_OUT (the default)
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_IN
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT




  Here's a brief example to illustrate their use.












































  /* example-start arrow arrow.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  /* Create an Arrow widget with the specified parameters

    GtkWidget *button;
    GtkWidget *arrow;

    arrow = gtk_arrow_new (arrow_type, shadow_type);

    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (button), arrow);

    gtk_widget_show(arrow);

    return(button);

  These are the little text strings that pop up when you leave your
  pointer over a button or other widget for a few seconds. They are easy
  to use, so I will just explain them without giving an example. If you
  want to see some code, take a look at the testgtk.c program
  distributed with GTK.

  Widgets that do not receive events (widgets that do not have their own
  window) will not work with tooltips.

  The first call you will use creates a new tooltip. You only need to do
  this once for a set of tooltips as the GtkTooltips object this
  function returns can be used to create multiple tooltips.



       GtkTooltips *gtk_tooltips_new( void );




  Once you have created a new tooltip, and the widget you wish to use it
  on, simply use this call to set it:



       void gtk_tooltips_set_tip( GtkTooltips *tooltips,
                                  GtkWidget   *widget,
                                  const gchar *tip_text,
                                  const gchar *tip_private );




  The first argument is the tooltip you've already created, followed by
  the widget you wish to have this tooltip pop up for, and the text you
  wish it to say. The last argument is a text string that can be used as
  an identifier when using GtkTipsQuery to implement context sensitive
  help. For now, you can set it to NULL.


  Here's a short example:










  GtkTooltips *tooltips;
  GtkWidget *button;
  .
  .
  .
  tooltips = gtk_tooltips_new ();
  button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("button 1");
  .
  .
  .
  gtk_tooltips_set_tip (tooltips, button, "This is button 1", NULL);




  There are other calls that can be used with tooltips. I will just list
  them with a brief description of what they do.



       void gtk_tooltips_enable( GtkTooltips *tooltips );




  Enable a disabled set of tooltips.



       void gtk_tooltips_disable( GtkTooltips *tooltips );




  Disable an enabled set of tooltips.



       void gtk_tooltips_set_delay( GtkTooltips *tooltips,
                                    gint         delay );




  Sets how many milliseconds you have to hold your pointer over the
  widget before the tooltip will pop up. The default is 500 milliseconds
  (half a second).



       void gtk_tooltips_set_colors( GtkTooltips *tooltips,
                                     GdkColor    *background,
                                     GdkColor    *foreground );




  Set the foreground and background color of the tooltips.

  And that's all the functions associated with tooltips. More than
  you'll ever want to know :-)

  Progress bars are used to show the status of an operation. They are
  pretty easy to use, as you will see with the code below. But first
  lets start out with the calls to create a new progress bar.

  There are two ways to create a progress bar, one simple that takes no
  arguments, and one that takes an Adjustment object as an argument. If
  the former is used, the progress bar creates its own adjustment
  object.



       GtkWidget *gtk_progress_bar_new( void );

       GtkWidget *gtk_progress_bar_new_with_adjustment( GtkAdjustment *adjustment );




  The second method has the advantage that we can use the adjustment
  object to specify our own range parameters for the progress bar.

  The adjustment of a progress object can be changed dynamically using:



       void gtk_progress_set_adjustment( GtkProgress   *progress,
                                         GtkAdjustment *adjustment );




  Now that the progress bar has been created we can use it.



       void gtk_progress_bar_update( GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                     gfloat          percentage );




  The first argument is the progress bar you wish to operate on, and the
  second argument is the amount "completed", meaning the amount the
  progress bar has been filled from 0-100%. This is passed to the
  function as a real number ranging from 0 to 1.

  GTK v1.2 has added new functionality to the progress bar that enables
  it to display its value in different ways, and to inform the user of
  its current value and its range.

  A progress bar may be set to one of a number of orientations using the
  function



       void gtk_progress_bar_set_orientation( GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                              GtkProgressBarOrientation orientation );




  The orientation argument may take one of the following values to
  indicate the direction in which the progress bar moves:

         GTK_PROGRESS_LEFT_TO_RIGHT
         GTK_PROGRESS_RIGHT_TO_LEFT
         GTK_PROGRESS_BOTTOM_TO_TOP
         GTK_PROGRESS_TOP_TO_BOTTOM




  When used as a measure of how far a process has progressed, the
  ProgressBar can be set to display its value in either a continuous or
  discrete mode. In continuous mode, the progress bar is updated for
  each value. In discrete mode, the progress bar is updated in a number
  of discrete blocks. The number of blocks is also configurable.

  The style of a progress bar can be set using the following function.



       void gtk_progress_bar_set_bar_style( GtkProgressBar      *pbar,
                                            GtkProgressBarStyle  style );




  The style parameter can take one of two values:



         GTK_PROGRESS_CONTINUOUS
         GTK_PROGRESS_DISCRETE




  The number of discrete blocks can be set by calling



       void gtk_progress_bar_set_discrete_blocks( GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                                  guint           blocks );




  As well as indicating the amount of progress that has occured, the
  progress bar may be set to just indicate that there is some activity.
  This can be useful in situations where progress cannot be measured
  against a value range. Activity mode is not effected by the bar style
  that is described above, and overrides it. This mode is either TRUE or
  FALSE, and is selected by the following function.



       void gtk_progress_set_activity_mode( GtkProgress *progress,
                                            guint        activity_mode );




  The step size of the activity indicator, and the number of blocks are
  set using the following functions.





  void gtk_progress_bar_set_activity_step( GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                           guint           step );

  void gtk_progress_bar_set_activity_blocks( GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                             guint           blocks );




  When in continuous mode, the progress bar can also display a
  configurable text string within its trough, using the following
  function.



       void gtk_progress_set_format_string( GtkProgress *progress,
                                            gchar       *format);




  The format argument is similiar to one that would be used in a C
  printf statement. The following directives may be used within the
  format string:


  +o  %p - percentage

  +o  %v - value

  +o  %l - lower range value

  +o  %u - upper range value

  The displaying of this text string can be toggled using:



       void gtk_progress_set_show_text( GtkProgress *progress,
                                        gint         show_text );




  The show_text argument is a boolean TRUE/FALSE value. The appearance
  of the text can be modified further using:



       void gtk_progress_set_text_alignment( GtkProgress   *progress,
                                             gfloat         x_align,
                                             gfloat         y_align );




  The x_align and y_align arguments take values between 0.0 and 1.0.
  Their values indicate the position of the text string within the
  trough. Values of 0.0 for both would place the string in the top left
  hand corner; values of 0.5 (the default) centres the text, and values
  of 1.0 places the text in the lower right hand corner.

  The current text setting of a progress object can be retrieved using
  the current or a specified adjustment value using the following two
  functions. The character string returned by these functions should be
  freed by the application (using the g_free() function). These
  functions return the formatted string that would be displayed within
  the trough.



       gchar *gtk_progress_get_current_text( GtkProgress   *progress );

       gchar *gtk_progress_get_text_from_value( GtkProgress *progress,
                                                gfloat       value );




  There is yet another way to change the range and value of a progress
  object using the following function:



       void gtk_progress_configure( GtkProgress  *progress,
                                    gfloat        value,
                                    gfloat        min,
                                    gfloat        max );




  This function provides quite a simple interface to the range and value
  of a progress object.

  The remaining functions can be used to get and set the current value
  of a progess object in various types and formats:



       void gtk_progress_set_percentage( GtkProgress *progress,
                                         gfloat       percentage );

       void gtk_progress_set_value( GtkProgress *progress,
                                    gfloat       value );

       gfloat gtk_progress_get_value( GtkProgress *progress );

       gfloat gtk_progress_get_current_percentage( GtkProgress *progress );

       gfloat gtk_progress_get_percentage_from_value( GtkProgress *progress,
                                                      gfloat       value );




  These functions are pretty self explanatory. The last function uses
  the the adjustment of the specified progess object to compute the
  percentage value of the given range value.

  Progress Bars are usually used with timeouts or other such functions
  (see section on ``Timeouts, I/O and Idle Functions'') to give the
  illusion of multitasking. All will employ the gtk_progress_bar_update
  function in the same manner.

  Here is an example of the progress bar, updated using timeouts. This
  code also shows you how to reset the Progress Bar.

  The Dialog widget is very simple, and is actually just a window with a
  few things pre-packed into it for you. The structure for a Dialog is:



       struct GtkDialog
       {
             GtkWindow window;

             GtkWidget *vbox;
             GtkWidget *action_area;
       };




  So you see, it simply creates a window, and then packs a vbox into the
  top, which contains a separator and then an hbox called the
  "action_area".

  The Dialog widget can be used for pop-up messages to the user, and
  other similar tasks. It is really basic, and there is only one
  function for the dialog box, which is:



       GtkWidget *gtk_dialog_new( void );




  So to create a new dialog box, use,





      GtkWidget *window;
      window = gtk_dialog_new ();




  This will create the dialog box, and it is now up to you to use it.
  You could pack a button in the action_area by doing something like
  this:



           button = ...
           gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (GTK_DIALOG (window)->action_area),
                               button, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
           gtk_widget_show (button);




  And you could add to the vbox area by packing, for instance, a label
  in it, try something like this:



           label = gtk_label_new ("Dialogs are groovy");
           gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (GTK_DIALOG (window)->vbox),
                               label, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
           gtk_widget_show (label);




  As an example in using the dialog box, you could put two buttons in
  the action_area, a Cancel button and an Ok button, and a label in the
  vbox area, asking the user a question or giving an error etc. Then you
  could attach a different signal to each of the buttons and perform the
  operation the user selects.

  If the simple functionality provided by the default vertical and
  horizontal boxes in the two areas doesn't give you enough control for
  your application, then you can simply pack another layout widget into
  the boxes provided. For example, you could pack a table into the
  vertical box.

  Pixmaps are data structures that contain pictures. These pictures can
  be used in various places, but most commonly as icons on the X
  desktop, or as cursors.

  A pixmap which only has 2 colors is called a bitmap, and there are a
  few additional routines for handling this common special case.

  To understand pixmaps, it would help to understand how X window system
  works. Under X, applications do not need to be running on the same
  computer that is interacting with the user. Instead, the various
  applications, called "clients", all communicate with a program which
  displays the graphics and handles the keyboard and mouse. This program
  which interacts directly with the user is called a "display server" or
  "X server." Since the communication might take place over a network,
  it's important to keep some information with the X server.  Pixmaps,
  for example, are stored in the memory of the X server. This means that
  once pixmap values are set, they don't need to keep getting
  transmitted over the network; instead a command is sent to "display
  pixmap number XYZ here." Even if you aren't using X with GTK
  currently, using constructs such as Pixmaps will make your programs
  work acceptably under X.

  To use pixmaps in GTK, we must first build a GdkPixmap structure using
  routines from the GDK layer. Pixmaps can either be created from in-
  memory data, or from data read from a file. We'll go through each of
  the calls to create a pixmap.



       GdkPixmap *gdk_bitmap_create_from_data( GdkWindow *window,
                                               gchar     *data,
                                               gint       width,
                                               gint       height );




  This routine is used to create a single-plane pixmap (2 colors) from
  data in memory. Each bit of the data represents whether that pixel is
  off or on. Width and height are in pixels. The GdkWindow pointer is to
  the current window, since a pixmap's resources are meaningful only in
  the context of the screen where it is to be displayed.



       GdkPixmap *gdk_pixmap_create_from_data( GdkWindow *window,
                                               gchar     *data,
                                               gint       width,
                                               gint       height,
                                               gint       depth,
                                               GdkColor  *fg,
                                               GdkColor  *bg );




  This is used to create a pixmap of the given depth (number of colors)
  from the bitmap data specified. fg and bg are the foreground and
  background color to use.



       GdkPixmap *gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm( GdkWindow   *window,
                                              GdkBitmap  **mask,
                                              GdkColor    *transparent_color,
                                              const gchar *filename );




  XPM format is a readable pixmap representation for the X Window
  System. It is widely used and many different utilities are available
  for creating image files in this format. The file specified by
  filename must contain an image in that format and it is loaded into
  the pixmap structure. The mask specifies which bits of the pixmap are
  opaque. All other bits are colored using the color specified by
  transparent_color. An example using this follows below.







  GdkPixmap *gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d( GdkWindow  *window,
                                           GdkBitmap **mask,
                                           GdkColor   *transparent_color,
                                           gchar     **data );




  Small images can be incorporated into a program as data in the XPM
  format. A pixmap is created using this data, instead of reading it
  from a file. An example of such data is



       /* XPM */
       static const char * xpm_data[] = {
       "16 16 3 1",
       "       c None",
       ".      c #000000000000",
       "X      c #FFFFFFFFFFFF",
       "                ",
       "   ......       ",
       "   .XXX.X.      ",
       "   .XXX.XX.     ",
       "   .XXX.XXX.    ",
       "   .XXX.....    ",
       "   .XXXXXXX.    ",
       "   .XXXXXXX.    ",
       "   .XXXXXXX.    ",
       "   .XXXXXXX.    ",
       "   .XXXXXXX.    ",
       "   .XXXXXXX.    ",
       "   .XXXXXXX.    ",
       "   .........    ",
       "                ",
       "                "};




  When we're done using a pixmap and not likely to reuse it again soon,
  it is a good idea to release the resource using gdk_pixmap_unref().
  Pixmaps should be considered a precious resource, because they take up
  memory in the end-user's X server process. Even though the X client
  you write may run on a powerful "server" computer, the user may be
  running the X server on a small personal computer.

  Once we've created a pixmap, we can display it as a GTK widget. We
  must create a GTK pixmap widget to contain the GDK pixmap. This is
  done using



       GtkWidget *gtk_pixmap_new( GdkPixmap *pixmap,
                                  GdkBitmap *mask );




  The other pixmap widget calls are






  guint gtk_pixmap_get_type( void );

  void  gtk_pixmap_set( GtkPixmap  *pixmap,
                        GdkPixmap  *val,
                        GdkBitmap  *mask );

  void  gtk_pixmap_get( GtkPixmap  *pixmap,
                        GdkPixmap **val,
                        GdkBitmap **mask);




  gtk_pixmap_set is used to change the pixmap that the widget is
  currently managing. Val is the pixmap created using GDK.

  The following is an example of using a pixmap in a button.

















































  /* example-start pixmap pixmap.c */

  "X      c #FFFFFFFFFFFF",

  "                "};


  /* when invoked (via signal delete_event), terminates the application.
   */
  gint close_application( GtkWidget *widget,
                          GdkEvent  *event,
                          gpointer   data )
  {
      gtk_main_quit();
      return(FALSE);
  }


  /* is invoked when the button is clicked.  It just prints a message.
   */
  void button_clicked( GtkWidget *widget,
                       gpointer   data ) {
      g_print( "button clicked\n" );
  }

  int main( int   argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
      /* GtkWidget is the storage type for widgets */
      GtkWidget *window, *pixmapwid, *button;
      GdkPixmap *pixmap;
      GdkBitmap *mask;
      GtkStyle *style;

      /* create the main window, and attach delete_event signal to terminating
         the application */
      gtk_init( &argc, &argv );
      window = gtk_window_new( GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL );
      gtk_signal_connect( GTK_OBJECT (window), "delete_event",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (close_application), NULL );
      gtk_container_set_border_width( GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10 );
      gtk_widget_show( window );

      /* now for the pixmap from gdk */
      style = gtk_widget_get_style( window );
      pixmap = gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d( window->window,  &mask,
                                             &style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL],
                                             (gchar **)xpm_data );

      /* a pixmap widget to contain the pixmap */
      pixmapwid = gtk_pixmap_new( pixmap, mask );
      gtk_widget_show( pixmapwid );

      /* a button to contain the pixmap widget */
      button = gtk_button_new();
      gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(button), pixmapwid );
      gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(window), button );
      gtk_widget_show( button );

      gtk_signal_connect( GTK_OBJECT(button), "clicked",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(button_clicked), NULL );

      /* show the window */
      gtk_main ();

      return 0;
  }
  /* example-end */




  To load a file from an XPM data file called icon0.xpm in the current
  directory, we would have created the pixmap thus



           /* load a pixmap from a file */
           pixmap = gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm( window->window, &mask,
                                                &style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL],
                                                "./icon0.xpm" );
           pixmapwid = gtk_pixmap_new( pixmap, mask );
           gtk_widget_show( pixmapwid );
           gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(window), pixmapwid );




  A disadvantage of using pixmaps is that the displayed object is always
  rectangular, regardless of the image. We would like to create desktops
  and applications with icons that have more natural shapes. For
  example, for a game interface, we would like to have round buttons to
  push. The way to do this is using shaped windows.

  A shaped window is simply a pixmap where the background pixels are
  transparent. This way, when the background image is multi-colored, we
  don't overwrite it with a rectangular, non-matching border around our
  icon. The following example displays a full wheelbarrow image on the
  desktop.











  /* example-start wheelbarrow wheelbarrow.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  /* XPM */

  To make the wheelbarrow image sensitive, we could attach the button

  makes the application terminate.

  99..77..  RRuulleerrss

  Ruler widgets are used to indicate the location of the mouse pointer
  in a given window. A window can have a vertical ruler spanning across
  the width and a horizontal ruler spanning down the height. A small
  triangular indicator on the ruler shows the exact location of the
  pointer relative to the ruler.

  A ruler must first be created. Horizontal and vertical rulers are
  created using



       GtkWidget *gtk_hruler_new( void );    /* horizontal ruler */

       GtkWidget *gtk_vruler_new( void );    /* vertical ruler   */




  Once a ruler is created, we can define the unit of measurement. Units
  of measure for rulers can beGTK_PIXELS, GTK_INCHES or GTK_CENTIMETERS.
  This is set using



       void gtk_ruler_set_metric( GtkRuler      *ruler,
                                  GtkMetricType  metric );




  The default measure is GTK_PIXELS.



           gtk_ruler_set_metric( GTK_RULER(ruler), GTK_PIXELS );




  Other important characteristics of a ruler are how to mark the units
  of scale and where the position indicator is initially placed. These
  are set for a ruler using



       void gtk_ruler_set_range( GtkRuler *ruler,
                                 gfloat    lower,
                                 gfloat    upper,
                                 gfloat    position,
                                 gfloat    max_size );




  The lower and upper arguments define the extent of the ruler, and
  max_size is the largest possible number that will be displayed.
  Position defines the initial position of the pointer indicator within
  the ruler.

  A vertical ruler can span an 800 pixel wide window thus




      gtk_ruler_set_range( GTK_RULER(vruler), 0, 800, 0, 800);




  The markings displayed on the ruler will be from 0 to 800, with a
  number for every 100 pixels. If instead we wanted the ruler to range
  from 7 to 16, we would code



           gtk_ruler_set_range( GTK_RULER(vruler), 7, 16, 0, 20);




  The indicator on the ruler is a small triangular mark that indicates
  the position of the pointer relative to the ruler. If the ruler is
  used to follow the mouse pointer, the motion_notify_event signal
  should be connected to the motion_notify_event method of the ruler.
  To follow all mouse movements within a window area, we would use



       #define EVENT_METHOD(i, x) GTK_WIDGET_CLASS(GTK_OBJECT(i)->klass)->x

           gtk_signal_connect_object( GTK_OBJECT(area), "motion_notify_event",
                  (GtkSignalFunc)EVENT_METHOD(ruler, motion_notify_event),
                  GTK_OBJECT(ruler) );




  The following example creates a drawing area with a horizontal ruler
  above it and a vertical ruler to the left of it. The size of the
  drawing area is 600 pixels wide by 400 pixels high. The horizontal
  ruler spans from 7 to 13 with a mark every 100 pixels, while the
  vertical ruler spans from 0 to 400 with a mark every 100 pixels.
  Placement of the drawing area and the rulers is done using a table.

  #define EVENT_METHOD(i, x) GTK_WIDGET_CLASS(GTK_OBJECT(i)->klass)->x

  Statusbars are simple widgets used to display a text message. They
  keep a stack of the messages pushed onto them, so that popping the
  current message will re-display the previous text message.

  In order to allow different parts of an application to use the same
  statusbar to display messages, the statusbar widget issues Context
  Identifiers which are used to identify different "users". The message
  on top of the stack is the one displayed, no matter what context it is
  in. Messages are stacked in last-in-first-out order, not context
  identifier order.

  A statusbar is created with a call to:



       GtkWidget *gtk_statusbar_new( void );




  A new Context Identifier is requested using a call to the following
  function with a short textual description of the context:



       guint gtk_statusbar_get_context_id( GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                                           const gchar  *context_description );




  There are three functions that can operate on statusbars:












  guint gtk_statusbar_push( GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                            guint         context_id,
                            gchar        *text );

  void gtk_statusbar_pop( GtkStatusbar *statusbar)
                          guint         context_id );

  void gtk_statusbar_remove( GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                             guint         context_id,
                             guint         message_id );




  The first, gtk_statusbar_push, is used to add a new message to the
  statusbar.  It returns a Message Identifier, which can be passed later
  to the function gtk_statusbar_remove to remove the message with the
  given Message and Context Identifiers from the statusbar's stack.

  The function gtk_statusbar_pop removes the message highest in the
  stack with the given Context Identifier.

  The following example creates a statusbar and two buttons, one for
  pushing items onto the statusbar, and one for popping the last item
  back off.

  The Entry widget allows text to be typed and displayed in a single
  line text box. The text may be set with function calls that allow new
  text to replace, prepend or append the current contents of the Entry
  widget.

  There are two functions for creating Entry widgets:



       GtkWidget *gtk_entry_new( void );

       GtkWidget *gtk_entry_new_with_max_length( guint16 max );




  The first just creates a new Entry widget, whilst the second creates a
  new Entry and sets a limit on the length of the text within the Entry.

  There are several functions for altering the text which is currently
  within the Entry widget.



       void gtk_entry_set_text( GtkEntry    *entry,
                                const gchar *text );

       void gtk_entry_append_text( GtkEntry    *entry,
                                   const gchar *text );

       void gtk_entry_prepend_text( GtkEntry    *entry,
                                    const gchar *text );




  The function gtk_entry_set_text sets the contents of the Entry widget,
  replacing the current contents. The functions gtk_entry_append_text
  and gtk_entry_prepend_text allow the current contents to be appended
  and prepended to.

  The next function allows the current insertion point to be set.



       void gtk_entry_set_position( GtkEntry *entry,
                                    gint      position );

  The contents of the Entry can be retrieved by using a call to the
  following function. This is useful in the callback functions described
  below.



       gchar *gtk_entry_get_text( GtkEntry *entry );




  The value returned by this function is used internally, and must not
  be freed using either free() or g_free()

  If we don't want the contents of the Entry to be changed by someone
  typing into it, we can change its editable state.



       void gtk_entry_set_editable( GtkEntry *entry,
                                    gboolean  editable );




  The function above allows us to toggle the editable state of the Entry
  widget by passing in a TRUE or FALSE value for the editable argument.

  If we are using the Entry where we don't want the text entered to be
  visible, for example when a password is being entered, we can use the
  following function, which also takes a boolean flag.



       void gtk_entry_set_visibility( GtkEntry *entry,
                                      gboolean  visible );




  A region of the text may be set as selected by using the following
  function. This would most often be used after setting some default
  text in an Entry, making it easy for the user to remove it.



       void gtk_entry_select_region( GtkEntry *entry,
                                     gint      start,
                                     gint      end );




  If we want to catch when the user has entered text, we can connect to
  the activate or changed signal. Activate is raised when the user hits
  the enter key within the Entry widget. Changed is raised when the text
  changes at all, e.g., for every character entered or removed.

  The following code is an example of using an Entry widget.







  /* example-start entry entry.c */

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  void enter_callback( GtkWidget *widget,
                       GtkWidget *entry )
  {
    gchar *entry_text;
    entry_text = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry));
    printf("Entry contents: %s\n", entry_text);
  }

  void entry_toggle_editable( GtkWidget *checkbutton,
                              GtkWidget *entry )
  {
    gtk_entry_set_editable(GTK_ENTRY(entry),
                           GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(checkbutton)->active);
  }

  void entry_toggle_visibility( GtkWidget *checkbutton,
                                GtkWidget *entry )
  {
    gtk_entry_set_visibility(GTK_ENTRY(entry),
                           GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(checkbutton)->active);

  The Spin Button widget is generally used to allow the user to select a
  value from a range of numeric values. It consists of a text entry box
  with up and down arrow buttons attached to the side. Selecting one of
  the buttons causes the value to "spin" up and down the range of
  possible values. The entry box may also be edited directly to enter a
  specific value.

  The Spin Button allows the value to have zero or a number of decimal
  places and to be incremented/decremented in configurable steps. The
  action of holding down one of the buttons optionally results in an
  acceleration of change in the value according to how long it is
  depressed.

  The Spin Button uses an ``Adjustment'' object to hold information
  about the range of values that the spin button can take. This makes
  for a powerful Spin Button widget.

  Recall that an adjustment widget is created with the following
  function, which illustrates the information that it holds:



       GtkObject *gtk_adjustment_new( gfloat value,
                                      gfloat lower,
                                      gfloat upper,
                                      gfloat step_increment,
                                      gfloat page_increment,
                                      gfloat page_size );



  These attributes of an Adjustment are used by the Spin Button in the
  following way:


  +o  value: initial value for the Spin Button

  +o  lower: lower range value

  +o  upper: upper range value

  +o  step_increment: value to increment/decrement when pressing mouse
     button 1 on a button

  +o  page_increment: value to increment/decrement when pressing mouse
     button 2 on a button

  +o  page_size: unused

  Additionally, mouse button 3 can be used to jump directly to the upper
  or lower values when used to select one of the buttons. Lets look at
  how to create a Spin Button:



       GtkWidget *gtk_spin_button_new( GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                                       gfloat         climb_rate,
                                       guint          digits );




  The climb_rate argument take a value between 0.0 and 1.0 and indicates
  the amount of acceleration that the Spin Button has. The digits
  argument specifies the number of decimal places to which the value
  will be displayed.

  A Spin Button can be reconfigured after creation using the following
  function:



       void gtk_spin_button_configure( GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                                       GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                                       gfloat         climb_rate,
                                       guint          digits );




  The spin_button argument specifies the Spin Button widget that is to
  be reconfigured. The other arguments are as specified above.

  The adjustment can be set and retrieved independantly using the
  following two functions:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_adjustment( GtkSpinButton  *spin_button,
                                            GtkAdjustment  *adjustment );

       GtkAdjustment *gtk_spin_button_get_adjustment( GtkSpinButton *spin_button );





  The number of decimal places can also be altered using:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_digits( GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                                        guint          digits) ;




  The value that a Spin Button is currently displaying can be changed
  using the following function:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_value( GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                                       gfloat         value );




  The current value of a Spin Button can be retrieved as either a
  floating point or integer value with the following functions:



       gfloat gtk_spin_button_get_value_as_float( GtkSpinButton *spin_button );

       gint gtk_spin_button_get_value_as_int( GtkSpinButton *spin_button );




  If you want to alter the value of a Spin Value relative to its current
  value, then the following function can be used:



       void gtk_spin_button_spin( GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                                  GtkSpinType    direction,
                                  gfloat         increment );




  The direction parameter can take one of the following values:



         GTK_SPIN_STEP_FORWARD
         GTK_SPIN_STEP_BACKWARD
         GTK_SPIN_PAGE_FORWARD
         GTK_SPIN_PAGE_BACKWARD
         GTK_SPIN_HOME
         GTK_SPIN_END
         GTK_SPIN_USER_DEFINED




  This function packs in quite a bit of functionality, which I will
  attempt to clearly explain. Many of these settings use values from the
  Adjustment object that is associated with a Spin Button.

  GTK_SPIN_STEP_FORWARD and GTK_SPIN_STEP_BACKWARD change the value of
  the Spin Button by the amount specified by increment, unless increment
  is equal to 0, in which case the value is changed by the value of
  step_increment in theAdjustment.

  GTK_SPIN_PAGE_FORWARD and GTK_SPIN_PAGE_BACKWARD simply alter the
  value of the Spin Button by increment.

  GTK_SPIN_HOME sets the value of the Spin Button to the bottom of the
  Adjustments range.

  GTK_SPIN_END sets the value of the Spin Button to the top of the
  Adjustments range.

  GTK_SPIN_USER_DEFINED simply alters the value of the Spin Button by
  the specified amount.

  We move away from functions for setting and retreving the range
  attributes of the Spin Button now, and move onto functions that effect
  the appearance and behaviour of the Spin Button widget itself.

  The first of these functions is used to constrain the text box of the
  Spin Button such that it may only contain a numeric value. This
  prevents a user from typing anything other than numeric values into
  the text box of a Spin Button:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_numeric( GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                                         gboolean       numeric );




  You can set whether a Spin Button will wrap around between the upper
  and lower range values with the following function:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_wrap( GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                                      gboolean       wrap );




  You can set a Spin Button to round the value to the nearest
  step_increment, which is set within the Adjustment object used with
  the Spin Button. This is accomplished with the following function:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_snap_to_ticks( GtkSpinButton  *spin_button,
                                               gboolean        snap_to_ticks );




  The update policy of a Spin Button can be changed with the following
  function:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_update_policy( GtkSpinButton  *spin_button,
                                           GtkSpinButtonUpdatePolicy policy );




  The possible values of policy are either GTK_UPDATE_ALWAYS or
  GTK_UPDATE_IF_VALID.

  These policies affect the behavior of a Spin Button when parsing
  inserted text and syncing its value with the values of the Adjustment.

  In the case of GTK_UPDATE_IF_VALID the Spin Button only value gets
  changed if the text input is a numeric value that is within the range
  specified by the Adjustment. Otherwise the text is reset to the
  current value.

  In case of GTK_UPDATE_ALWAYS we ignore errors while converting text
  into a numeric value.

  The appearance of the buttons used in a Spin Button can be changed
  using the following function:



       void gtk_spin_button_set_shadow_type( GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                                             GtkShadowType  shadow_type );




  As usual, the shadow_type can be one of:



         GTK_SHADOW_IN
         GTK_SHADOW_OUT
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_IN
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT




  Finally, you can explicitly request that a Spin Button update itself:



       void gtk_spin_button_update( GtkSpinButton  *spin_button );




  It's example time again.

  The combo box is another fairly simple widget that is really just a
  collection of other widgets. From the user's point of view, the widget
  consists of a text entry box and a pull down menu from which the user
  can select one of a set of predefined entries. Alternatively, the user
  can type a different option directly into the text box.

  The following extract from the structure that defines a Combo Box
  identifies several of the components:



       struct _GtkCombo {
               GtkHBox hbox;
               GtkWidget *entry;
               GtkWidget *button;
               GtkWidget *popup;
               GtkWidget *popwin;
               GtkWidget *list;
               ...  };




  As you can see, the Combo Box has two principal parts that you really
  care about: an entry and a list.

  First off, to create a combo box, use:



       GtkWidget *gtk_combo_new( void );

  Now, if you want to set the string in the entry section of the combo
  box, this is done by manipulating the entry widget directly:



           gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(GTK_COMBO(combo)->entry), "My String.");




  To set the values in the popdown list, one uses the function:



       void gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings( GtkCombo *combo,
                                           GList    *strings );




  Before you can do this, you have to assemble a GList of the strings
  that you want. GList is a linked list implementation that is part of
  ``GLib'', a library supporing GTK. For the moment, the quick and dirty
  explanation is that you need to set up a GList pointer, set it equal
  to NULL, then append strings to it with



       GList *g_list_append( GList *glist,
                             gpointer data );




  It is important that you set the initial GList pointer to NULL. The
  value returned from the g_list_append function must be used as the new
  pointer to the GList.

  Here's a typical code segment for creating a set of options:



           GList *glist=NULL;

           glist = g_list_append(glist, "String 1");
           glist = g_list_append(glist, "String 2");
           glist = g_list_append(glist, "String 3");
           glist = g_list_append(glist, "String 4");

           gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings( GTK_COMBO(combo), glist) ;




  The combo widget makes a copy of the strings passed to it in the glist
  structure. As a result, you need to make sure you free the memory used
  by the list if that is appropriate for your application.

  At this point you have a working combo box that has been set up.
  There are a few aspects of its behavior that you can change. These are
  accomplished with the functions:





  void gtk_combo_set_use_arrows( GtkCombo *combo,
                                 gint      val );

  void gtk_combo_set_use_arrows_always( GtkCombo *combo,
                                        gint      val );

  void gtk_combo_set_case_sensitive( GtkCombo *combo,
                                     gint      val );




  gtk_combo_set_use_arrows() lets the user change the value in the entry
  using the up/down arrow keys. This doesn't bring up the list, but
  rather replaces the current text in the entry with the next list entry
  (up or down, as your key choice indicates). It does this by searching
  in the list for the item corresponding to the current value in the
  entry and selecting the previous/next item accordingly. Usually in an
  entry the arrow keys are used to change focus (you can do that anyway
  using TAB). Note that when the current item is the last of the list
  and you press arrow-down it changes the focus (the same applies with
  the first item and arrow-up).

  If the current value in the entry is not in the list, then the
  function of gtk_combo_set_use_arrows() is disabled.

  gtk_combo_set_use_arrows_always() similarly allows the use the the
  up/down arrow keys to cycle through the choices in the dropdown list,
  except that it wraps around the values in the list, completely
  disabling the use of the up and down arrow keys for changing focus.

  gtk_combo_set_case_sensitive() toggles whether or not GTK searches for
  entries in a case sensitive manner. This is used when the Combo widget
  is asked to find a value from the list using the current entry in the
  text box. This completion can be performed in either a case sensitive
  or insensitive manner, depending upon the use of this function. The
  Combo widget can also simply complete the current entry if the user
  presses the key combination MOD-1 and "Tab". MOD-1 is often mapped to
  the "Alt" key, by the xmodmap utility. Note, however that some window
  managers also use this key combination, which will override its use
  within GTK.

  Now that we have a combo box, tailored to look and act how we want it,
  all that remains is being able to get data from the combo box. This is
  relatively straightforward. The majority of the time, all you are
  going to care about getting data from is the entry. The entry is
  accessed simply by GTK_ENTRY(GTK_COMBO(combo)->entry). The two
  principal things that you are going to want to do with it are attach
  to the activate signal, which indicates that the user has pressed the
  Return or Enter key, and read the text. The first is accomplished
  using something like:



           gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(GTK_COMB(combo)->entry), "activate",
                              GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (my_callback_function), my_data);




  Getting the text at any arbitrary time is accomplished by simply using
  the entry function:




  gchar *gtk_entry_get_text(GtkEntry *entry);




  Such as:



           char *string;

           string = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(GTK_COMBO(combo)->entry));




  That's about all there is to it. There is a function



       void gtk_combo_disable_activate(GtkCombo *combo);




  that will disable the activate signal on the entry widget in the combo
  box. Personally, I can't think of why you'd want to use it, but it
  does exist.

  The Calendar widget is an effective way to display and retrieve
  monthly date related information. It is a very simple widget to create
  and work with.

  Creating a GtkCalendar widget is a simple as:



       GtkWidget *gtk_calendar_new();




  There might be times where you need to change a lot of information
  within this widget and the following functions allow you to make
  multiple change to a Calendar widget without the user seeing multiple
  on-screen updates.



       void gtk_calendar_freeze( GtkCalendar *Calendar );

       void gtk_calendar_thaw  ( GtkCalendar *Calendar );




  They work just like the freeze/thaw functions of every other widget.

  The Calendar widget has a few options that allow you to change the way
  the widget both looks and operates by using the function


       void gtk_calendar_display_options( GtkCalendar               *calendar,
                                          GtkCalendarDisplayOptions  flags );




  The flags argument can be formed by combining either of the following
  five options using the logical bitwise OR (|) operation:

  +o  GTK_CALENDAR_SHOW_HEADING - this option specifies that the month
     and year should be shown when drawing the calendar.

  +o  GTK_CALENDAR_SHOW_DAY_NAMES - this option specifies that the three
     letter descriptions should be displayed for each day (eg
     MON,TUE...).

  +o  GTK_CALENDAR_NO_MONTH_CHANGE - this option states that the user
     should not and can not change the currently displayed month. This
     can be good if you only need to display a particular month such as
     if you are displaying 12 calendar widgets for every month in a
     particular year.

  +o  GTK_CALENDAR_SHOW_WEEK_NUMBERS - this option specifies that the
     number for each week should be displayed down the left side of the
     calendar. (eg. Jan 1 = Week 1,Dec 31 = Week 52).

  +o  GTK_CALENDAR_WEEK_START_MONDAY - this option states that the
     calander week will start on Monday instead of Sunday which is the
     default. This only affects the order in which days are displayed
     from left to right.

  The following functions are used to set the the currently displayed
  date:


       gint gtk_calendar_select_month( GtkCalendar *calendar,
                                       guint        month,
                                       guint        year );

       void gtk_calendar_select_day( GtkCalendar *calendar,
                                     guint        day );




  The return value from gtk_calendar_select_month() is a boolean value
  indicating whether the selection was successful.

  With gtk_calendar_select_day() the specified day number is selected
  within the current month, if that is possible. A day value of 0 will
  deselect any current selection.

  In addition to having a day selected, any number of days in the month
  may be "marked". A marked day is highlighted within the calendar
  display. The following functions are provided to manipulate marked
  days:










  gint gtk_calendar_mark_day( GtkCalendar *calendar,
                              guint        day);

  gint gtk_calendar_unmark_day( GtkCalendar *calendar,
                                guint        day);

  void gtk_calendar_clear_marks( GtkCalendar *calendar);




  The currently marked days are stored within an array within the
  GtkCalendar structure. This array is 31 elements long so to test
  whether a particular day is currently marked, you need to access the
  corresponding element of the array (don't forget in C that array
  elements are numbered 0 to n-1). For example:



           GtkCalendar *calendar;
           calendar = gtk_calendar_new();

           ...

           /* Is day 7 marked? */
           if (calendar->marked_date[7-1])
              /* day is marked */




  Note that marks are persistent across month and year changes.

  The final Calendar widget function is used to retrieve the currently
  selected date, month and/or year.



       void gtk_calendar_get_date( GtkCalendar *calendar,
                                   guint       *year,
                                   guint       *month,
                                   guint       *day );




  This function requires you to pass the addresses of guint variables,
  into which the result will be placed. Passing NULL as a value will
  result in the corresponding value not being returned.

  The Calendar widget can generate a number of signals indicating date
  selection and change. The names of these signals are self explanatory,
  and are:


  +o  month_changed

  +o  day_selected

  +o  day_selected_double_click

  +o  prev_month

  +o  next_month


  +o  prev_year

  +o  next_year

  That just leaves us with the need to put all of this together into
  example code.

  The color selection widget is, not surprisingly, a widget for
  interactive selection of colors. This composite widget lets the user
  select a color by manipulating RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and HSV (Hue,
  Saturation, Value) triples.  This is done either by adjusting single
  values with sliders or entries, or by picking the desired color from a
  hue-saturation wheel/value bar.  Optionally, the opacity of the color
  can also be set.

  The color selection widget currently emits only one signal,
  "color_changed", which is emitted whenever the current color in the
  widget changes, either when the user changes it or if it's set
  explicitly through gtk_color_selection_set_color().

  Lets have a look at what the color selection widget has to offer us.
  The widget comes in two flavours: gtk_color_selection and
  gtk_color_selection_dialog.



       GtkWidget *gtk_color_selection_new( void );




  You'll probably not be using this constructor directly. It creates an
  orphan ColorSelection widget which you'll have to parent yourself. The
  ColorSelection widget inherits from the VBox widget.


       GtkWidget *gtk_color_selection_dialog_new( const gchar *title );




  This is the most common color selection constructor. It creates a
  ColorSelectionDialog. It consists of a Frame containing a
  ColorSelection widget, an HSeparator and an HBox with three buttons,
  "Ok", "Cancel" and "Help". You can reach these buttons by accessing
  the "ok_button", "cancel_button" and "help_button" widgets in the
  ColorSelectionDialog structure, (i.e.,
  GTK_COLOR_SELECTION_DIALOG(colorseldialog)->ok_button)).



       void gtk_color_selection_set_update_policy( GtkColorSelection *colorsel,
                                                   GtkUpdateType      policy );




  This function sets the update policy. The default policy is
  GTK_UPDATE_CONTINUOUS which means that the current color is updated
  continuously when the user drags the sliders or presses the mouse and
  drags in the hue-saturation wheel or value bar. If you experience
  performance problems, you may want to set the policy to
  GTK_UPDATE_DISCONTINUOUS or GTK_UPDATE_DELAYED.



       void gtk_color_selection_set_opacity( GtkColorSelection *colorsel,
                                             gint               use_opacity );




  The color selection widget supports adjusting the opacity of a color
  (also known as the alpha channel). This is disabled by default.
  Calling this function with use_opacity set to TRUE enables opacity.
  Likewise, use_opacity set to FALSE will disable opacity.



       void gtk_color_selection_set_color( GtkColorSelection *colorsel,
                                           gdouble           *color );




  You can set the current color explicitly by calling this function with
  a pointer to an array of colors (gdouble). The length of the array
  depends on whether opacity is enabled or not. Position 0 contains the
  red component, 1 is green, 2 is blue and opacity is at position 3
  (only if opacity is enabled, see gtk_color_selection_set_opacity()).
  All values are between 0.0 and 1.0.



       void gtk_color_selection_get_color( GtkColorSelection *colorsel,
                                           gdouble           *color );




  When you need to query the current color, typically when you've
  received a "color_changed" signal, you use this function. Color is a
  pointer to the array of colors to fill in. See the
  gtk_color_selection_set_color() function for the description of this
  array.


  Here's a simple example demonstrating the use of the
  ColorSelectionDialog. The program displays a window containing a
  drawing area. Clicking on it opens a color selection dialog, and
  changing the color in the color selection dialog changes the
  background color.

  The file selection widget is a quick and simple way to display a File
  dialog box. It comes complete with Ok, Cancel, and Help buttons, a
  great way to cut down on programming time.

  To create a new file selection box use:



       GtkWidget *gtk_file_selection_new( gchar *title );




  To set the filename, for example to bring up a specific directory, or
  give a default filename, use this function:



       void gtk_file_selection_set_filename( GtkFileSelection *filesel,
                                             gchar            *filename );




  To grab the text that the user has entered or clicked on, use this
  function:



       gchar *gtk_file_selection_get_filename( GtkFileSelection *filesel );




  There are also pointers to the widgets contained within the file
  selection widget. These are:



         dir_list
         file_list
         selection_entry
         selection_text
         main_vbox
         ok_button
         cancel_button
         help_button

  Most likely you will want to use the ok_button, cancel_button, and
  help_button pointers in signaling their use.

  Included here is an example stolen from testgtk.c, modified to run on
  its own. As you will see, there is nothing much to creating a file
  selection widget. While in this example the Help button appears on the
  screen, it does nothing as there is not a signal attached to it.



       /* example-start filesel filesel.c */

       #include <gtk/gtk.h>

       /* Get the selected filename and print it to the console */
       void file_ok_sel( GtkWidget        *w,
                         GtkFileSelection *fs )
       {
           g_print ("%s\n", gtk_file_selection_get_filename (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (fs)));
       }

       void destroy( GtkWidget *widget,
                     gpointer   data )
       {
           gtk_main_quit ();
       }

       int main( int   argc,
                 char *argv[] )
       {
           GtkWidget *filew;

           gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

           /* Create a new file selection widget */
           filew = gtk_file_selection_new ("File selection");

           gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (filew), "destroy",
                               (GtkSignalFunc) destroy, &filew);
           /* Connect the ok_button to file_ok_sel function */
           gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (filew)->ok_button),
                               "clicked", (GtkSignalFunc) file_ok_sel, filew );

           /* Connect the cancel_button to destroy the widget */
           gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (GTK_FILE_SELECTION
                                                   (filew)->cancel_button),
                                      "clicked", (GtkSignalFunc) gtk_widget_destroy,
                                      GTK_OBJECT (filew));

           /* Lets set the filename, as if this were a save dialog, and we are giving
            a default filename */
           gtk_file_selection_set_filename (GTK_FILE_SELECTION(filew),
                                            "penguin.png");

           gtk_widget_show(filew);
           gtk_main ();
           return 0;

  Some GTK widgets don't have associated X windows, so they just draw on
  their parents. Because of this, they cannot receive events and if they
  are incorrectly sized, they don't clip so you can get messy
  overwriting, etc. If you require more from these widgets, the EventBox
  is for you.

  At first glance, the EventBox widget might appear to be totally
  useless. It draws nothing on the screen and responds to no events.
  However, it does serve a function - it provides an X window for its
  child widget. This is important as many GTK widgets do not have an
  associated X window. Not having an X window saves memory and improves
  performance, but also has some drawbacks. A widget without an X window
  cannot receive events, and does not perform any clipping on its
  contents. Although the name _E_v_e_n_t_B_o_x emphasizes the event-handling
  function, the widget can also be used for clipping.  (and more, see
  the example below).

  To create a new EventBox widget, use:



       GtkWidget *gtk_event_box_new( void );




  A child widget can then be added to this EventBox:



           gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(event_box), child_widget );




  The following example demonstrates both uses of an EventBox - a label
  is created that is clipped to a small box, and set up so that a mouse-
  click on the label causes the program to exit. Resizing the window
  reveals varying amounts of the label.






















  /* example-start eventbox eventbox.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  int main( int argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
      GtkWidget *window;
      GtkWidget *event_box;
      GtkWidget *label;

      gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

      window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

      gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Event Box");

      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_exit), NULL);

      gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

      /* Create an EventBox and add it to our toplevel window */

      event_box = gtk_event_box_new ();
      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER(window), event_box);
      gtk_widget_show (event_box);

      /* Create a long label */

      label = gtk_label_new ("Click here to quit, quit, quit, quit, quit");
      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (event_box), label);
      gtk_widget_show (label);

      /* Clip it short. */
      gtk_widget_set_usize (label, 110, 20);

      /* And bind an action to it */
      gtk_widget_set_events (event_box, GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK);
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT(event_box), "button_press_event",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_exit), NULL);

      /* Yet one more thing you need an X window for ... */

      gtk_widget_realize (event_box);
      gdk_window_set_cursor (event_box->window, gdk_cursor_new (GDK_HAND1));

      gtk_widget_show (window);

  The alignment widget allows you to place a widget within its window at
  a position and size relative to the size of the Alignment widget
  itself. For example, it can be very useful for centering a widget
  within the window.
  There are only two functions associated with the Alignment widget:



       GtkWidget* gtk_alignment_new( gfloat xalign,
                                     gfloat yalign,
                                     gfloat xscale,
                                     gfloat yscale );

       void gtk_alignment_set( GtkAlignment *alignment,
                               gfloat        xalign,
                               gfloat        yalign,
                               gfloat        xscale,
                               gfloat        yscale );




  The first function creates a new Alignment widget with the specified
  parameters. The second function allows the alignment paramters of an
  exisiting Alignment widget to be altered.

  All four alignment parameters are floating point numbers which can
  range from 0.0 to 1.0. The xalign and yalign arguments affect the
  position of the widget placed within the Alignment widget. The xscale
  and yscale arguments effect the amount of space allocated to the
  widget.

  A child widget can be added to this Alignment widget using:



           gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(alignment), child_widget );




  For an example of using an Alignment widget, refer to the example for
  the ``Progress Bar'' widget.

  The Fixed container allows you to place widgets at a fixed position
  within its window, relative to its upper left hand corner. The
  position of the widgets can be changed dynamically.

  There are only three functions associated with the fixed widget:



       GtkWidget* gtk_fixed_new( void );

       void gtk_fixed_put( GtkFixed  *fixed,
                           GtkWidget *widget,
                           gint16     x,
                           gint16     y );

       void gtk_fixed_move( GtkFixed  *fixed,
                            GtkWidget *widget,
                            gint16     x,
                            gint16     y );




  The function gtk_fixed_new allows you to create a new Fixed container.

  gtk_fixed_put places widget in the container fixed at the position
  specified by x and y.

  gtk_fixed_move allows the specified widget to be moved to a new
  position.

  The following example illustrates how to use the Fixed Container.

























































  /* example-start fixed fixed.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  /* I'm going to be lazy and use some global variables to
   * store the position of the widget within the fixed
   * container */
  gint x=50;
  gint y=50;

  /* This callback function moves the button to a new position
   * in the Fixed container. */
  void move_button( GtkWidget *widget,
                    GtkWidget *fixed )
  {
    x = (x+30)%300;
    y = (y+50)%300;
    gtk_fixed_move( GTK_FIXED(fixed), widget, x, y);
  }

  int main( int   argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
    /* GtkWidget is the storage type for widgets */
    GtkWidget *window;
    GtkWidget *fixed;
    GtkWidget *button;
    gint i;

    /* Initialise GTK */
    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    /* Create a new window */
    window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
    gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Fixed Container");

    /* Here we connect the "destroy" event to a signal handler */
    gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                        GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_main_quit), NULL);

    /* Sets the border width of the window. */
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

    /* Create a Fixed Container */
    fixed = gtk_fixed_new();
    gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), fixed);
    gtk_widget_show(fixed);

    for (i = 1 ; i <= 3 ; i++) {
      /* Creates a new button with the label "Press me" */
      button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Press me");

      /* When the button receives the "clicked" signal, it will call the
       * function move_button() passing it the Fixed Container as its
       * argument. */
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (move_button), fixed);

      /* This packs the button into the fixed containers window. */
      gtk_fixed_put (GTK_FIXED (fixed), button, i*50, i*50);

      /* The final step is to display this newly created widget. */
      gtk_widget_show (button);
    }

    /* Display the window */
    gtk_widget_show (window);

    /* Enter the event loop */
    gtk_main ();

    return(0);
  }
  /* example-end */

  The Layout container is similar to the Fixed container except that it
  implements an infinite (where infinity is less than 2^32) scrolling
  area. The X window system has a limitation where windows can be at
  most 32767 pixels wide or tall. The Layout container gets around this
  limitation by doing some exotic stuff using window and bit gravities,
  so that you can have smooth scrolling even when you have many child
  widgets in your scrolling area.

  A Layout container is created using:



       GtkWidget *gtk_layout_new( GtkAdjustment *hadjustment,
                                  GtkAdjustment *vadjustment );




  As you can see, you can optionally specify the Adjustment objects that
  the Layout widget will use for its scrolling.

  You can add and move widgets in the Layout container using the
  following two functions:



       void gtk_layout_put( GtkLayout *layout,
                            GtkWidget *widget,
                            gint       x,
                            gint       y );

       void gtk_layout_move( GtkLayout *layout,
                             GtkWidget *widget,
                             gint       x,
                             gint       y );




  The size of the Layout container can be set using the next function:



       void gtk_layout_set_size( GtkLayout *layout,
                                 guint      width,
                                 guint      height );





  Layout containers are one of the very few widgets in the GTK widget
  set that actively repaint themselves on screen as they are changed
  using the above functions (the vast majority of widgets queue requests
  which are then processed when control returns to the gtk_main()
  function).

  When you want to make a large number of changes to a Layout container,
  you can use the following two functions to disable and re-enable this
  repainting functionality:



       void gtk_layout_freeze( GtkLayout *layout );

       void gtk_layout_thaw( GtkLayout *layout );




  The final four functions for use with Layout widgets are for
  manipulating the horizontal and vertical adjustment widgets:



       GtkAdjustment* gtk_layout_get_hadjustment( GtkLayout *layout );

       GtkAdjustment* gtk_layout_get_vadjustment( GtkLayout *layout );

       void gtk_layout_set_hadjustment( GtkLayout     *layout,
                                        GtkAdjustment *adjustment );

       void gtk_layout_set_vadjustment( GtkLayout     *layout,
                                        GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

  Frames can be used to enclose one or a group of widgets with a box
  which can optionally be labelled. The position of the label and the
  style of the box can be altered to suit.

  A Frame can be created with the following function:



       GtkWidget *gtk_frame_new( const gchar *label );




  The label is by default placed in the upper left hand corner of the
  frame. A value of NULL for the label argument will result in no label
  being displayed. The text of the label can be changed using the next
  function.



       void gtk_frame_set_label( GtkFrame    *frame,
                                 const gchar *label );




  The position of the label can be changed using this function:



       void gtk_frame_set_label_align( GtkFrame *frame,
                                       gfloat    xalign,
                                       gfloat    yalign );




  xalign and yalign take values between 0.0 and 1.0. xalign indicates
  the position of the label along the top horizontal of the frame.
  yalign is not currently used. The default value of xalign is 0.0 which
  places the label at the left hand end of the frame.

  The next function alters the style of the box that is used to outline
  the frame.



       void gtk_frame_set_shadow_type( GtkFrame      *frame,
                                       GtkShadowType  type);




  The type argument can take one of the following values:


         GTK_SHADOW_NONE
         GTK_SHADOW_IN
         GTK_SHADOW_OUT
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_IN (the default)
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT




  The following code example illustrates the use of the Frame widget.


























  /* example-start frame frame.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  int main( int   argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
    /* GtkWidget is the storage type for widgets */
    GtkWidget *window;
    GtkWidget *frame;
    GtkWidget *button;
    gint i;

    /* Initialise GTK */
    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    /* Create a new window */
    window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
    gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Frame Example");

    /* Here we connect the "destroy" event to a signal handler */
    gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                        GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_main_quit), NULL);

    gtk_widget_set_usize(window, 300, 300);
    /* Sets the border width of the window. */
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

    /* Create a Frame */
    frame = gtk_frame_new(NULL);
    gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), frame);

    /* Set the frame's label */
    gtk_frame_set_label( GTK_FRAME(frame), "GTK Frame Widget" );

    /* Align the label at the right of the frame */
    gtk_frame_set_label_align( GTK_FRAME(frame), 1.0, 0.0);

    /* Set the style of the frame */
    gtk_frame_set_shadow_type( GTK_FRAME(frame), GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT);

    gtk_widget_show(frame);

    /* Display the window */
    gtk_widget_show (window);

    /* Enter the event loop */
    gtk_main ();

    return(0);
  }
  /* example-end */

  The aspect frame widget is like a frame widget, except that it also
  enforces the aspect ratio (that is, the ratio of the width to the
  height) of the child widget to have a certain value, adding extra
  space if necessary. This is useful, for instance, if you want to
  preview a larger image. The size of the preview should vary when the
  user resizes the window, but the aspect ratio needs to always match
  the original image.

  To create a new aspect frame use:



       GtkWidget *gtk_aspect_frame_new( const gchar *label,
                                        gfloat       xalign,
                                        gfloat       yalign,
                                        gfloat       ratio,
                                        gint         obey_child);




  xalign and yalign specify alignment as with Alignment widgets. If
  obey_child is true, the aspect ratio of a child widget will match the
  aspect ratio of the ideal size it requests.  Otherwise, it is given by
  ratio.

  To change the options of an existing aspect frame, you can use:



       void gtk_aspect_frame_set( GtkAspectFrame *aspect_frame,
                                  gfloat          xalign,
                                  gfloat          yalign,
                                  gfloat          ratio,
                                  gint            obey_child);




  As an example, the following program uses an AspectFrame to present a
  drawing area whose aspect ratio will always be 2:1, no matter how the
  user resizes the top-level window.






























  /* example-start aspectframe aspectframe.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  int main( int argc,
            char *argv[] )
  {
      GtkWidget *window;
      GtkWidget *aspect_frame;
      GtkWidget *drawing_area;
      gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

      window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
      gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Aspect Frame");
      gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
      gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

      /* Create an aspect_frame and add it to our toplevel window */

      aspect_frame = gtk_aspect_frame_new ("2x1", /* label */
                                           0.5, /* center x */
                                           0.5, /* center y */
                                           2, /* xsize/ysize = 2 */
                                           FALSE /* ignore child's aspect */);

      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER(window), aspect_frame);
      gtk_widget_show (aspect_frame);

      /* Now add a child widget to the aspect frame */

      drawing_area = gtk_drawing_area_new ();

      /* Ask for a 200x200 window, but the AspectFrame will give us a 200x100
       * window since we are forcing a 2x1 aspect ratio */
      gtk_widget_set_usize (drawing_area, 200, 200);
      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER(aspect_frame), drawing_area);
      gtk_widget_show (drawing_area);

  The paned window widgets are useful when you want to divide an area
  into two parts, with the relative size of the two parts controlled by
  the user. A groove is drawn between the two portions with a handle
  that the user can drag to change the ratio. The division can either be
  horizontal (HPaned) or vertical (VPaned).

  To create a new paned window, call one of:



       GtkWidget *gtk_hpaned_new (void);

       GtkWidget *gtk_vpaned_new (void);

  After creating the paned window widget, you need to add child widgets
  to its two halves. To do this, use the functions:



       void gtk_paned_add1 (GtkPaned *paned, GtkWidget *child);

       void gtk_paned_add2 (GtkPaned *paned, GtkWidget *child);




  gtk_paned_add1() adds the child widget to the left or top half of the
  paned window. gtk_paned_add2() adds the child widget to the right or
  bottom half of the paned window.

  A paned widget can be changed visually using the following two
  functions.



       void gtk_paned_set_handle_size( GtkPaned *paned,
                                       guint16   size);

       void gtk_paned_set_gutter_size( GtkPaned *paned,
                                       guint16   size);




  The first of these sets the size of the handle and the second sets the
  size of the gutter that is between the two parts of the paned window.

  As an example, we will create part of the user interface of an
  imaginary email program. A window is divided into two portions
  vertically, with the top portion being a list of email messages and
  the bottom portion the text of the email message. Most of the program
  is pretty straightforward. A couple of points to note: text can't be
  added to a Text widget until it is realized. This could be done by
  calling gtk_widget_realize(), but as a demonstration of an alternate
  technique, we connect a handler to the "realize" signal to add the
  text. Also, we need to add the GTK_SHRINK option to some of the items
  in the table containing the text window and its scrollbars, so that
  when the bottom portion is made smaller, the correct portions shrink
  instead of being pushed off the bottom of the window.

  It is unlikely that you will ever need to use the Viewport widget
  directly. You are much more likely to use the ``Scrolled Window''
  widget which itself uses the Viewport.

  A viewport widget allows you to place a larger widget within it such
  that you can view a part of it at a time. It uses ``Adjustments'' to
  define the area that is currently in view.

  A Viewport is created with the function



       GtkWidget *gtk_viewport_new( GtkAdjustment *hadjustment,
                                    GtkAdjustment *vadjustment );




  As you can see you can specify the horizontal and vertical Adjustments
  that the widget is to use when you create the widget. It will create
  its own if you pass NULL as the value of the arguments.

  You can get and set the adjustments after the widget has been created
  using the following four functions:



       GtkAdjustment *gtk_viewport_get_hadjustment (GtkViewport *viewport );

       GtkAdjustment *gtk_viewport_get_vadjustment (GtkViewport *viewport );

       void gtk_viewport_set_hadjustment( GtkViewport   *viewport,
                                          GtkAdjustment *adjustment );

       void gtk_viewport_set_vadjustment( GtkViewport   *viewport,
                                          GtkAdjustment *adjustment );




  The only other viewport function is used to alter its appearance:



       void gtk_viewport_set_shadow_type( GtkViewport   *viewport,
                                          GtkShadowType  type );



  Possible values for the type parameter are:


         GTK_SHADOW_NONE,
         GTK_SHADOW_IN,
         GTK_SHADOW_OUT,
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_IN,
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT

  Scrolled windows are used to create a scrollable area with another
  widget inside it. You may insert any type of widget into a scrolled
  window, and it will be accessible regardless of the size by using the
  scrollbars.

  The following function is used to create a new scrolled window.



       GtkWidget *gtk_scrolled_window_new( GtkAdjustment *hadjustment,
                                           GtkAdjustment *vadjustment );




  Where the first argument is the adjustment for the horizontal
  direction, and the second, the adjustment for the vertical direction.
  These are almost always set to NULL.



       void gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy( GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                            GtkPolicyType      hscrollbar_policy,
                                            GtkPolicyType      vscrollbar_policy );




  This sets the policy to be used with respect to the scrollbars.  The
  first argument is the scrolled window you wish to change. The second
  sets the policy for the horizontal scrollbar, and the third the policy
  for the vertical scrollbar.

  The policy may be one of GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC or GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS.
  GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC will automatically decide whether you need
  scrollbars, whereas GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS will always leave the scrollbars
  there.

  You can then place your object into the scrolled window using the
  following function.



       void gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport( GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                                   GtkWidget         *child);




  Here is a simple example that packs a table eith 100 toggle buttons
  into a scrolled window. I've only commented on the parts that may be
  new to you.

      gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (GTK_DIALOG (window)->action_area), button, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

      /* This grabs this button to be the default button. Simply hitting

      gtk_widget_show (button);

      gtk_widget_show (window);

      gtk_main();

      return(0);
  }

  Try playing with resizing the window. You'll notice how the scrollbars
  react. You may also wish to use the gtk_widget_set_usize() call to set
  the default size of the window or other widgets.

  Button Boxes are a convenient way to quickly layout a group of
  buttons. They come in both horizontal and vertical flavours. You
  create a new Button Box with one of the following calls, which create
  a horizontal or vertical box, respectively:



       GtkWidget *gtk_hbutton_box_new( void );

       GtkWidget *gtk_vbutton_box_new( void );




  The only attributes pertaining to button boxes effect how the buttons
  are laid out. You can change the spacing between the buttons with:



       void gtk_hbutton_box_set_spacing_default( gint spacing );

       void gtk_vbutton_box_set_spacing_default( gint spacing );



  Similarly, the current spacing values can be queried using:



       gint gtk_hbutton_box_get_spacing_default( void );

       gint gtk_vbutton_box_get_spacing_default( void );




  The second attribute that we can access effects the layout of the
  buttons within the box. It is set using one of:



       void gtk_hbutton_box_set_layout_default( GtkButtonBoxStyle layout );

       void gtk_vbutton_box_set_layout_default( GtkButtonBoxStyle layout );




  The layout argument can take one of the following values:



         GTK_BUTTONBOX_DEFAULT_STYLE
         GTK_BUTTONBOX_SPREAD
         GTK_BUTTONBOX_EDGE
         GTK_BUTTONBOX_START
         GTK_BUTTONBOX_END




  The current layout setting can be retrieved using:



       GtkButtonBoxStyle gtk_hbutton_box_get_layout_default( void );

       GtkButtonBoxStyle gtk_vbutton_box_get_layout_default( void );




  Buttons are added to a Button Box using the usual function:



           gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(button_box), child_widget );




  Here's an example that illustrates all the different layout settings
  for Button Boxes.








  /* example-start buttonbox buttonbox.c */

  Toolbars are usually used to group some number of widgets in order to
  simplify customization of their look and layout. Typically a toolbar
  consists of buttons with icons, labels and tooltips, but any other
  widget can also be put inside a toolbar. Finally, items can be
  arranged horizontally or vertically and buttons can be displayed with
  icons, labels, or both.

  Creating a toolbar is (as one may already suspect) done with the
  following function:



       GtkWidget *gtk_toolbar_new( GtkOrientation orientation,
                                   GtkToolbarStyle  style );




  where orientation may be one of:



         GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL
         GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL




  and style one of:



         GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT
         GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
         GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH




  The style applies to all the buttons created with the `item' functions
  (not to buttons inserted into toolbar as separate widgets).

  After creating a toolbar one can append, prepend and insert items
  (that means simple text strings) or elements (that means any widget
  types) into the toolbar. To describe an item we need a label text, a
  tooltip text, a private tooltip text, an icon for the button and a
  callback function for it. For example, to append or prepend an item
  you may use the following functions:



       GtkWidget *gtk_toolbar_append_item( GtkToolbar    *toolbar,
                                           const char    *text,
                                           const char    *tooltip_text,
                                           const char    *tooltip_private_text,
                                           GtkWidget     *icon,
                                           GtkSignalFunc  callback,
                                           gpointer       user_data );

       GtkWidget *gtk_toolbar_prepend_item( GtkToolbar    *toolbar,
                                            const char    *text,
                                            const char    *tooltip_text,
                                            const char    *tooltip_private_text,
                                            GtkWidget     *icon,
                                            GtkSignalFunc  callback,
                                            gpointer       user_data );


  If you want to use gtk_toolbar_insert_item, the only additional
  parameter which must be specified is the position in which the item
  should be inserted, thus:



       GtkWidget *gtk_toolbar_insert_item( GtkToolbar    *toolbar,
                                           const char    *text,
                                           const char    *tooltip_text,
                                           const char    *tooltip_private_text,
                                           GtkWidget     *icon,
                                           GtkSignalFunc  callback,
                                           gpointer       user_data,
                                           gint           position );




  To simplify adding spaces between toolbar items, you may use the
  following functions:



       void gtk_toolbar_append_space( GtkToolbar *toolbar );

       void gtk_toolbar_prepend_space( GtkToolbar *toolbar );

       void gtk_toolbar_insert_space( GtkToolbar *toolbar,
                                      gint        position );





  While the size of the added space can be set globally for a whole
  toolbar with the function:



       void gtk_toolbar_set_space_size( GtkToolbar *toolbar,
                                        gint        space_size) ;




  If it's required, the orientation of a toolbar and its style can be
  changed "on the fly" using the following functions:



       void gtk_toolbar_set_orientation( GtkToolbar     *toolbar,
                                         GtkOrientation  orientation );

       void gtk_toolbar_set_style( GtkToolbar      *toolbar,
                                   GtkToolbarStyle  style );

       void gtk_toolbar_set_tooltips( GtkToolbar *toolbar,
                                      gint        enable );




  Where orientation is one of GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL or
  GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL. The style is used to set appearance of the
  toolbar items by using one of GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS, GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT, or
  GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH.
  To show some other things that can be done with a toolbar, let's take
  the following program (we'll interrupt the listing with some
  additional explanations):



       #include <gtk/gtk.h>

       #include "gtk.xpm"

       /* This function is connected to the Close button or
        * closing the window from the WM */
       gint delete_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, gpointer data)
       {
         gtk_main_quit ();
         return(FALSE);
       }




  The above beginning seems for sure familiar to you if it's not your
  first GTK program. There is one additional thing though, we include a
  nice XPM picture to serve as an icon for all of the buttons.



       GtkWidget* close_button; /* This button will emit signal to close
                                 * application */
       GtkWidget* tooltips_button; /* to enable/disable tooltips */
       GtkWidget* text_button,
                * icon_button,
                * both_button; /* radio buttons for toolbar style */
       GtkWidget* entry; /* a text entry to show packing any widget into
                          * toolbar */




  In fact not all of the above widgets are needed here, but to make
  things clearer I put them all together.



       /* that's easy... when one of the buttons is toggled, we just
        * check which one is active and set the style of the toolbar
        * accordingly
        * ATTENTION: our toolbar is passed as data to callback ! */
       void radio_event (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
       {
         if (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (text_button)->active)
           gtk_toolbar_set_style(GTK_TOOLBAR ( data ), GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT);
         else if (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (icon_button)->active)
           gtk_toolbar_set_style(GTK_TOOLBAR ( data ), GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS);
         else if (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (both_button)->active)
           gtk_toolbar_set_style(GTK_TOOLBAR ( data ), GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH);
       }

       /* even easier, just check given toggle button and enable/disable
        * tooltips */
       void toggle_event (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
       {
         gtk_toolbar_set_tooltips (GTK_TOOLBAR ( data ),
                                   GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (widget)->active );
       }

  The above are just two callback functions that will be called when one
  of the buttons on a toolbar is pressed. You should already be familiar
  with things like this if you've already used toggle buttons (and radio
  buttons).



       int main (int argc, char *argv[])
       {
         /* Here is our main window (a dialog) and a handle for the handlebox */
         GtkWidget* dialog;
         GtkWidget* handlebox;

         /* Ok, we need a toolbar, an icon with a mask (one for all of
            the buttons) and an icon widget to put this icon in (but
            we'll create a separate widget for each button) */
         GtkWidget * toolbar;
         GdkPixmap * icon;
         GdkBitmap * mask;
         GtkWidget * iconw;

         /* this is called in all GTK application. */
         gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

         /* create a new window with a given title, and nice size */
         dialog = gtk_dialog_new ();
         gtk_window_set_title ( GTK_WINDOW ( dialog ) , "GTKToolbar Tutorial");
         gtk_widget_set_usize( GTK_WIDGET ( dialog ) , 600 , 300 );
         GTK_WINDOW ( dialog ) ->allow_shrink = TRUE;

         /* typically we quit if someone tries to close us */
         gtk_signal_connect ( GTK_OBJECT ( dialog ), "delete_event",
                              GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC ( delete_event ), NULL);

         /* we need to realize the window because we use pixmaps for
          * items on the toolbar in the context of it */
         gtk_widget_realize ( dialog );

         /* to make it nice we'll put the toolbar into the handle box,
          * so that it can be detached from the main window */
         handlebox = gtk_handle_box_new ();
         gtk_box_pack_start ( GTK_BOX ( GTK_DIALOG(dialog)->vbox ),
                              handlebox, FALSE, FALSE, 5 );




  The above should be similar to any other GTK application. Just
  initialization of GTK, creating the window, etc. There is only one
  thing that probably needs some explanation: a handle box. A handle box
  is just another box that can be used to pack widgets in to. The
  difference between it and typical boxes is that it can be detached
  from a parent window (or, in fact, the handle box remains in the
  parent, but it is reduced to a very small rectangle, while all of its
  contents are reparented to a new freely floating window). It is
  usually nice to have a detachable toolbar, so these two widgets occur
  together quite often.









    /* toolbar will be horizontal, with both icons and text, and
     * with 5pxl spaces between items and finally,
     * we'll also put it into our handlebox */
    toolbar = gtk_toolbar_new ( GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL,
                                GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH );
    gtk_container_set_border_width ( GTK_CONTAINER ( toolbar ) , 5 );
    gtk_toolbar_set_space_size ( GTK_TOOLBAR ( toolbar ), 5 );
    gtk_container_add ( GTK_CONTAINER ( handlebox ) , toolbar );

    /* now we create icon with mask: we'll reuse it to create
     * icon widgets for toolbar items */
    icon = gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d ( dialog->window, &mask,
        &dialog->style->white, gtk_xpm );




  Well, what we do above is just a straightforward initialization of the
  toolbar widget and creation of a GDK pixmap with its mask. If you want
  to know something more about using pixmaps, refer to GDK documentation
  or to the ``Pixmaps'' section earlier in this tutorial.



         /* our first item is <close> button */
         iconw = gtk_pixmap_new ( icon, mask ); /* icon widget */
         close_button =
           gtk_toolbar_append_item ( GTK_TOOLBAR (toolbar), /* our toolbar */
                                     "Close",               /* button label */
                                     "Closes this app",     /* this button's tooltip */
                                     "Private",             /* tooltip private info */
                                     iconw,                 /* icon widget */
                                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (delete_event), /* a signal */
                                      NULL );
         gtk_toolbar_append_space ( GTK_TOOLBAR ( toolbar ) ); /* space after item */




  In the above code you see the simplest case: adding a button to
  toolbar.  Just before appending a new item, we have to construct a
  pixmap widget to serve as an icon for this item; this step will have
  to be repeated for each new item. Just after the item we also add a
  space, so the following items will not touch each other. As you see
  gtk_toolbar_append_item returns a pointer to our newly created button
  widget, so that we can work with it in the normal way.



         /* now, let's make our radio buttons group... */
         iconw = gtk_pixmap_new ( icon, mask );
         icon_button = gtk_toolbar_append_element(
                           GTK_TOOLBAR(toolbar),
                           GTK_TOOLBAR_CHILD_RADIOBUTTON, /* a type of element */
                           NULL,                          /* pointer to widget */
                           "Icon",                        /* label */
                           "Only icons in toolbar",       /* tooltip */
                           "Private",                     /* tooltip private string */
                           iconw,                         /* icon */
                           GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (radio_event), /* signal */
                           toolbar);                      /* data for signal */
         gtk_toolbar_append_space ( GTK_TOOLBAR ( toolbar ) );




  Here we begin creating a radio buttons group. To do this we use
  gtk_toolbar_append_element.  In fact, using this function one can also
  +add simple items or even spaces (type = GTK_TOOLBAR_CHILD_SPACE or
  +GTK_TOOLBAR_CHILD_BUTTON). In the above case we start creating a
  radio group. In creating other radio buttons for this group a pointer
  to the previous button in the group is required, so that a list of
  buttons can be easily constructed (see the section on ``Radio
  Buttons'' earlier in this tutorial).



         /* following radio buttons refer to previous ones */
         iconw = gtk_pixmap_new ( icon, mask );
         text_button =
           gtk_toolbar_append_element(GTK_TOOLBAR(toolbar),
                                      GTK_TOOLBAR_CHILD_RADIOBUTTON,
                                      icon_button,
                                      "Text",
                                      "Only texts in toolbar",
                                      "Private",
                                      iconw,
                                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (radio_event),
                                      toolbar);
         gtk_toolbar_append_space ( GTK_TOOLBAR ( toolbar ) );

         iconw = gtk_pixmap_new ( icon, mask );
         both_button =
           gtk_toolbar_append_element(GTK_TOOLBAR(toolbar),
                                      GTK_TOOLBAR_CHILD_RADIOBUTTON,
                                      text_button,
                                      "Both",
                                      "Icons and text in toolbar",
                                      "Private",
                                      iconw,
                                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (radio_event),
                                      toolbar);
         gtk_toolbar_append_space ( GTK_TOOLBAR ( toolbar ) );
         gtk_toggle_button_set_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(both_button),TRUE);




  In the end we have to set the state of one of the buttons manually
  (otherwise they all stay in active state, preventing us from switching
  between them).



         /* here we have just a simple toggle button */
         iconw = gtk_pixmap_new ( icon, mask );
         tooltips_button =
           gtk_toolbar_append_element(GTK_TOOLBAR(toolbar),
                                      GTK_TOOLBAR_CHILD_TOGGLEBUTTON,
                                      NULL,
                                      "Tooltips",
                                      "Toolbar with or without tips",
                                      "Private",
                                      iconw,
                                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (toggle_event),
                                      toolbar);
         gtk_toolbar_append_space ( GTK_TOOLBAR ( toolbar ) );
         gtk_toggle_button_set_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(tooltips_button),TRUE);




  A toggle button can be created in the obvious way (if one knows how to
  create radio buttons already).



         /* to pack a widget into toolbar, we only have to
          * create it and append it with an appropriate tooltip */
         entry = gtk_entry_new ();
         gtk_toolbar_append_widget( GTK_TOOLBAR (toolbar),
                                    entry,
                                    "This is just an entry",
                                    "Private" );

         /* well, it isn't created within thetoolbar, so we must still show it */
         gtk_widget_show ( entry );




  As you see, adding any kind of widget to a toolbar is simple. The one
  thing you have to remember is that this widget must be shown manually
  (contrary to other items which will be shown together with the
  toolbar).



         /* that's it ! let's show everything. */
         gtk_widget_show ( toolbar );
         gtk_widget_show (handlebox);
         gtk_widget_show ( dialog );

         /* rest in gtk_main and wait for the fun to begin! */
         gtk_main ();

         return 0;
       }




  So, here we are at the end of toolbar tutorial. Of course, to
  appreciate it in full you need also this nice XPM icon, so here it is:

  static char * gtk_xpm[] = {
  "32 39 5 1",
  ".      c none",
  "+      c black",

  1100..1122..  NNootteebbooookkss

  The NoteBook Widget is a collection of "pages" that overlap each
  other, each page contains different information with only one page
  visible at a time. This widget has become more common lately in GUI
  programming, and it is a good way to show blocks of similar
  information that warrant separation in their display.

  The first function call you will need to know, as you can probably
  guess by now, is used to create a new notebook widget.




  GtkWidget *gtk_notebook_new( void );




  Once the notebook has been created, there are a number of functions
  that operate on the notebook widget. Let's look at them individually.

  The first one we will look at is how to position the page indicators.
  These page indicators or "tabs" as they are referred to, can be
  positioned in four ways: top, bottom, left, or right.



       void gtk_notebook_set_tab_pos( GtkNotebook     *notebook,
                                      GtkPositionType  pos );




  GtkPositionType will be one of the following, which are pretty self
  explanatory:


         GTK_POS_LEFT
         GTK_POS_RIGHT
         GTK_POS_TOP
         GTK_POS_BOTTOM




  GTK_POS_TOP is the default.

  Next we will look at how to add pages to the notebook. There are three
  ways to add pages to the NoteBook. Let's look at the first two
  together as they are quite similar.



       void gtk_notebook_append_page( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                      GtkWidget   *child,
                                      GtkWidget   *tab_label );

       void gtk_notebook_prepend_page( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                       GtkWidget   *child,
                                       GtkWidget   *tab_label );




  These functions add pages to the notebook by inserting them from the
  back of the notebook (append), or the front of the notebook (prepend).
  child is the widget that is placed within the notebook page, and
  tab_label is the label for the page being added. The child widget must
  be created separately, and is typically a set of options setup witin
  one of the other container widgets, such as a table.

  The final function for adding a page to the notebook contains all of
  the properties of the previous two, but it allows you to specify what
  position you want the page to be in the notebook.





  void gtk_notebook_insert_page( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                 GtkWidget   *child,
                                 GtkWidget   *tab_label,
                                 gint         position );




  The parameters are the same as _append_ and _prepend_ except it
  contains an extra parameter, position.  This parameter is used to
  specify what place this page will be inserted into the first page
  having position zero.

  Now that we know how to add a page, lets see how we can remove a page
  from the notebook.



       void gtk_notebook_remove_page( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                      gint         page_num );




  This function takes the page specified by page_num and removes it from
  the widget pointed to by notebook.

  To find out what the current page is in a notebook use the function:



       gint gtk_notebook_get_current_page( GtkNotebook *notebook );




  These next two functions are simple calls to move the notebook page
  forward or backward. Simply provide the respective function call with
  the notebook widget you wish to operate on. Note: When the NoteBook is
  currently on the last page, and gtk_notebook_next_page is called, the
  notebook will wrap back to the first page. Likewise, if the NoteBook
  is on the first page, and gtk_notebook_prev_page is called, the
  notebook will wrap to the last page.



       void gtk_notebook_next_page( GtkNoteBook *notebook );

       void gtk_notebook_prev_page( GtkNoteBook *notebook );




  This next function sets the "active" page. If you wish the notebook to
  be opened to page 5 for example, you would use this function.  Without
  using this function, the notebook defaults to the first page.



       void gtk_notebook_set_page( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                   gint         page_num );





  The next two functions add or remove the notebook page tabs and the
  notebook border respectively.



       void gtk_notebook_set_show_tabs( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                        gboolean     show_tabs);

       void gtk_notebook_set_show_border( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                          gboolean     show_border );




  The next function is useful when the you have a large number of pages,
  and the tabs don't fit on the page. It allows the tabs to be scrolled
  through using two arrow buttons.



       void gtk_notebook_set_scrollable( GtkNotebook *notebook,
                                         gboolean     scrollable );




  show_tabs, show_border and scrollable can be either TRUE or FALSE.

  Now let's look at an example, it is expanded from the testgtk.c code
  that comes with the GTK distribution. This small program creates a
  window with a notebook and six buttons. The notebook contains 11
  pages, added in three different ways, appended, inserted, and
  prepended. The buttons allow you rotate the tab positions, add/remove
  the tabs and border, remove a page, change pages in both a forward and
  backward manner, and exit the program.































  /* example-start notebook notebook.c */

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  /* This function rotates the position of the tabs */
  void rotate_book( GtkButton   *button,
                    GtkNotebook *notebook )
  {
      gtk_notebook_set_tab_pos (notebook, (notebook->tab_pos +1) %4);
  }

  /* Add/Remove the page tabs and the borders */
  void tabsborder_book( GtkButton   *button,
                        GtkNotebook *notebook )
  {
      gint tval = FALSE;
      gint bval = FALSE;
      if (notebook->show_tabs == 0)
              tval = TRUE;
      if (notebook->show_border == 0)
              bval = TRUE;

      gtk_notebook_set_show_tabs (notebook, tval);
      gtk_notebook_set_show_border (notebook, bval);
  }

  /* Remove a page from the notebook */
  void remove_book( GtkButton   *button,
                    GtkNotebook *notebook )
  {
      gint page;

      page = gtk_notebook_get_current_page(notebook);
      gtk_notebook_remove_page (notebook, page);
      /* Need to refresh the widget --
       This forces the widget to redraw itself. */
      gtk_widget_draw(GTK_WIDGET(notebook), NULL);
  }

  gint delete( GtkWidget *widget,
               GtkWidget *event,
               gpointer   data )
  {
      gtk_main_quit();
      return(FALSE);
  }

  int main( int argc,
            char *argv[] )

      GtkWidget *label;
      GtkWidget *checkbutton;
      int i;

  I hope this helps you on your way with creating notebooks for your GTK

  The CList widget has replaced the List widget (which is still
  available).

  The CList widget is a multi-column list widget that is capable of
  handling literally thousands of rows of information. Each column can
  optionally have a title, which itself is optionally active, allowing
  us to bind a function to its selection.




  1111..11..  CCrreeaattiinngg aa CCLLiisstt wwiiddggeett

  Creating a CList is quite straightforward, once you have learned about
  widgets in general. It provides the almost standard two ways, that is
  the hard way, and the easy way. But before we create it, there is one
  thing we should figure out beforehand: how many columns should it
  have?

  Not all columns have to be visible and can be used to store data that
  is related to a certain cell in the list.



       GtkWidget *gtk_clist_new ( gint columns );

       GtkWidget *gtk_clist_new_with_titles( gint   columns,
                                             gchar *titles[] );




  The first form is very straightforward, the second might require some
  explanation. Each column can have a title associated with it, and this
  title can be a label or a button that reacts when we click on it. If
  we use the second form, we must provide pointers to the title texts,
  and the number of pointers should equal the number of columns
  specified. Of course we can always use the first form, and manually
  add titles later.

  Note: The CList widget does not have its own scrollbars and should be
  placed within a ScrolledWindow widget if your require this
  functionality. This is a change from the GTK 1.0 implementation.


  1111..22..  MMooddeess ooff ooppeerraattiioonn

  There are several attributes that can be used to alter the behaviour
  of a CList. First there is



       void gtk_clist_set_selection_mode( GtkCList         *clist,
                                          GtkSelectionMode  mode );




  which, as the name implies, sets the selection mode of the CList. The
  first argument is the CList widget, and the second specifies the cell
  selection mode (they are defined in gtkenums.h). At the time of this
  writing, the following modes are available to us:


  +o  GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE - The selection is either NULL or contains a
     GList pointer for a single selected item.

  +o  GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE - The selection is NULL if the list contains
     no widgets or insensitive ones only, otherwise it contains a GList
     pointer for one GList structure, and therefore exactly one list
     item.

  +o  GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE - The selection is NULL if no list items are
     selected or a GList pointer for the first selected item. That in
     turn points to a GList structure for the second selected item and
     so on. This is currently the ddeeffaauulltt for the CList widget.

  +o  GTK_SELECTION_EXTENDED - The selection is always NULL.

  Others might be added in later revisions of GTK.

  We can also define what the border of the CList widget should look
  like. It is done through



       void gtk_clist_set_shadow_type( GtkCList      *clist,
                                       GtkShadowType  border );




  The possible values for the second argument are



         GTK_SHADOW_NONE
         GTK_SHADOW_IN
         GTK_SHADOW_OUT
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_IN
         GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT





  1111..33..  WWoorrkkiinngg wwiitthh ttiittlleess

  When you create a CList widget, you will also get a set of title
  buttons automatically. They live in the top of the CList window, and
  can act either as normal buttons that respond to being pressed, or
  they can be passive, in which case they are nothing more than a title.
  There are four different calls that aid us in setting the status of
  the title buttons.



       void gtk_clist_column_title_active( GtkCList *clist,
                                            gint     column );

       void gtk_clist_column_title_passive( GtkCList *clist,
                                            gint      column );

       void gtk_clist_column_titles_active( GtkCList *clist );

       void gtk_clist_column_titles_passive( GtkCList *clist );




  An active title is one which acts as a normal button, a passive one is
  just a label. The first two calls above will activate/deactivate the
  title button above the specific column, while the last two calls
  activate/deactivate all title buttons in the supplied clist widget.

  But of course there are those cases when we don't want them at all,
  and so they can be hidden and shown at will using the following two
  calls.





  void gtk_clist_column_titles_show( GtkCList *clist );

  void gtk_clist_column_titles_hide( GtkCList *clist );




  For titles to be really useful we need a mechanism to set and change
  them, and this is done using



       void gtk_clist_set_column_title( GtkCList *clist,
                                        gint      column,
                                        gchar    *title );




  Note that only the title of one column can be set at a time, so if all
  the titles are known from the beginning, then I really suggest using
  gtk_clist_new_with_titles (as described above) to set them. It saves
  you coding time, and makes your program smaller. There are some cases
  where getting the job done the manual way is better, and that's when
  not all titles will be text. CList provides us with title buttons that
  can in fact incorporate whole widgets, for example a pixmap. It's all
  done through



       void gtk_clist_set_column_widget( GtkCList  *clist,
                                         gint       column,
                                         GtkWidget *widget );




  which should require no special explanation.


  1111..44..  MMaanniippuullaattiinngg tthhee lliisstt iittsseellff

  It is possible to change the justification for a column, and it is
  done through



       void gtk_clist_set_column_justification( GtkCList         *clist,
                                                gint              column,
                                                GtkJustification  justification );




  The GtkJustification type can take the following values:


  +o  GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT - The text in the column will begin from the left
     edge.

  +o  GTK_JUSTIFY_RIGHT - The text in the column will begin from the
     right edge.

  +o  GTK_JUSTIFY_CENTER - The text is placed in the center of the
     column.

  +o  GTK_JUSTIFY_FILL - The text will use up all available space in the
     column. It is normally done by inserting extra blank spaces between
     words (or between individual letters if it's a single word). Much
     in the same way as any ordinary WYSIWYG text editor.

  The next function is a very important one, and should be standard in
  the setup of all CList widgets. When the list is created, the width of
  the various columns are chosen to match their titles, and since this
  is seldom the right width we have to set it using



       void gtk_clist_set_column_width( GtkCList *clist,
                                        gint      column,
                                        gint      width );




  Note that the width is given in pixels and not letters. The same goes
  for the height of the cells in the columns, but as the default value
  is the height of the current font this isn't as critical to the
  application. Still, it is done through



       void gtk_clist_set_row_height( GtkCList *clist,
                                      gint      height );




  Again, note that the height is given in pixels.

  We can also move the list around without user interaction, however, it
  does require that we know what we are looking for. Or in other words,
  we need the row and column of the item we want to scroll to.



       void gtk_clist_moveto( GtkCList *clist,
                              gint      row,
                              gint      column,
                              gfloat    row_align,
                              gfloat    col_align );




  The gfloat row_align is pretty important to understand. It's a value
  between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 means that we should scroll the list so
  the row appears at the top, while if the value of row_align is 1.0,
  the row will appear at the bottom instead. All other values between
  0.0 and 1.0 are also valid and will place the row between the top and
  the bottom. The last argument, gfloat col_align works in the same way,
  though 0.0 marks left and 1.0 marks right instead.

  Depending on the application's needs, we don't have to scroll to an
  item that is already visible to us. So how do we know if it is
  visible? As usual, there is a function to find that out as well.



       GtkVisibility gtk_clist_row_is_visible( GtkCList *clist,
                                               gint      row );

  The return value is is one of the following:



         GTK_VISIBILITY_NONE
         GTK_VISIBILITY_PARTIAL
         GTK_VISIBILITY_FULL




  Note that it will only tell us if a row is visible. Currently there is
  no way to determine this for a column. We can get partial information
  though, because if the return is GTK_VISIBILITY_PARTIAL, then some of
  it is hidden, but we don't know if it is the row that is being cut by
  the lower edge of the listbox, or if the row has columns that are
  outside.

  We can also change both the foreground and background colors of a
  particular row. This is useful for marking the row selected by the
  user, and the two functions that is used to do it are



       void gtk_clist_set_foreground( GtkCList *clist,
                                      gint      row,
                                      GdkColor *color );

       void gtk_clist_set_background( GtkCList *clist,
                                      gint      row,
                                      GdkColor *color );




  Please note that the colors must have been previously allocated.


  1111..55..  AAddddiinngg rroowwss ttoo tthhee lliisstt

  We can add rows in three ways. They can be prepended or appended to
  the list using



       gint gtk_clist_prepend( GtkCList *clist,
                               gchar    *text[] );

       gint gtk_clist_append( GtkCList *clist,
                              gchar    *text[] );




  The return value of these two functions indicate the index of the row
  that was just added. We can insert a row at a given place using



       void gtk_clist_insert( GtkCList *clist,
                              gint      row,
                              gchar    *text[] );




  In these calls we have to provide a collection of pointers that are
  the texts we want to put in the columns. The number of pointers should
  equal the number of columns in the list. If the text[] argument is
  NULL, then there will be no text in the columns of the row. This is
  useful, for example, if we want to add pixmaps instead (something that
  has to be done manually).

  Also, please note that the numbering of both rows and columns start at
  0.

  To remove an individual row we use



       void gtk_clist_remove( GtkCList *clist,
                              gint      row );




  There is also a call that removes all rows in the list. This is a lot
  faster than calling gtk_clist_remove once for each row, which is the
  only alternative.



       void gtk_clist_clear( GtkCList *clist );




  There are also two convenience functions that should be used when a
  lot of changes have to be made to the list. This is to prevent the
  list flickering while being repeatedly updated, which may be highly
  annoying to the user. So instead it is a good idea to freeze the list,
  do the updates to it, and finally thaw it which causes the list to be
  updated on the screen.



       void gtk_clist_freeze( GtkCList * clist );

       void gtk_clist_thaw( GtkCList * clist );





  1111..66..  SSeettttiinngg tteexxtt aanndd ppiixxmmaappss iinn tthhee cceellllss

  A cell can contain a pixmap, text or both. To set them the following
  functions are used.














  void gtk_clist_set_text( GtkCList    *clist,
                           gint         row,
                           gint         column,
                           const gchar *text );

  void gtk_clist_set_pixmap( GtkCList  *clist,
                             gint       row,
                             gint       column,
                             GdkPixmap *pixmap,
                             GdkBitmap *mask );

  void gtk_clist_set_pixtext( GtkCList  *clist,
                              gint       row,
                              gint       column,
                              gchar     *text,
                              guint8     spacing,
                              GdkPixmap *pixmap,
                              GdkBitmap *mask );




  It's quite straightforward. All the calls have the CList as the first
  argument, followed by the row and column of the cell, followed by the
  data to be set. The spacing argument in gtk_clist_set_pixtext is the
  number of pixels between the pixmap and the beginning of the text. In
  all cases the data is copied into the widget.

  To read back the data, we instead use



       gint gtk_clist_get_text( GtkCList  *clist,
                                gint       row,
                                gint       column,
                                gchar    **text );

       gint gtk_clist_get_pixmap( GtkCList   *clist,
                                  gint        row,
                                  gint        column,
                                  GdkPixmap **pixmap,
                                  GdkBitmap **mask );

       gint gtk_clist_get_pixtext( GtkCList   *clist,
                                   gint        row,
                                   gint        column,
                                   gchar     **text,
                                   guint8     *spacing,
                                   GdkPixmap **pixmap,
                                   GdkBitmap **mask );




  The returned pointers are all pointers to the data stored within the
  widget, so the referenced data should not be modified or released. It
  isn't necessary to read it all back in case you aren't interested. Any
  of the pointers that are meant for return values (all except the
  clist) can be NULL. So if we want to read back only the text from a
  cell that is of type pixtext, then we would do the following, assuming
  that clist, row and column already exist:





  gchar *mytext;

  gtk_clist_get_pixtext(clist, row, column, &mytext, NULL, NULL, NULL);




  There is one more call that is related to what's inside a cell in the
  clist, and that's



       GtkCellType gtk_clist_get_cell_type( GtkCList *clist,
                                            gint      row,
                                            gint      column );




  which returns the type of data in a cell. The return value is one of



         GTK_CELL_EMPTY
         GTK_CELL_TEXT
         GTK_CELL_PIXMAP
         GTK_CELL_PIXTEXT
         GTK_CELL_WIDGET




  There is also a function that will let us set the indentation, both
  vertical and horizontal, of a cell. The indentation value is of type
  gint, given in pixels, and can be both positive and negative.



       void gtk_clist_set_shift( GtkCList *clist,
                                 gint      row,
                                 gint      column,
                                 gint      vertical,
                                 gint      horizontal );

  With a CList it is possible to set a data pointer for a row. This
  pointer will not be visible for the user, but is merely a convenience
  for the programmer to associate a row with a pointer to some
  additional data.

  The functions should be fairly self-explanatory by now.










  void gtk_clist_set_row_data( GtkCList *clist,
                               gint      row,
                               gpointer  data );

  void gtk_clist_set_row_data_full( GtkCList         *clist,
                                    gint              row,
                                    gpointer          data,
                                    GtkDestroyNotify  destroy );

  gpointer gtk_clist_get_row_data( GtkCList *clist,
                                   gint      row );

  gint gtk_clist_find_row_from_data( GtkCList *clist,
                                     gpointer  data );





  1111..88..  WWoorrkkiinngg wwiitthh sseelleeccttiioonnss

  There are also functions available that let us force the (un)selection
  of a row. These are



       void gtk_clist_select_row( GtkCList *clist,
                                  gint      row,
                                  gint      column );

       void gtk_clist_unselect_row( GtkCList *clist,
                                    gint      row,
                                    gint      column );




  And also a function that will take x and y coordinates (for example,
  read from the mousepointer), and map that onto the list, returning the
  corresponding row and column.



       gint gtk_clist_get_selection_info( GtkCList *clist,
                                          gint      x,
                                          gint      y,
                                          gint     *row,
                                          gint     *column );




  When we detect something of interest (it might be movement of the
  pointer, a click somewhere in the list) we can read the pointer
  coordinates and find out where in the list the pointer is. Cumbersome?
  Luckily, there is a simpler way...

  As with all other widgets, there are a few signals that can be used.
  The CList widget is derived from the Container widget, and so has all
  the same signals, but also adds the following:



  +o  select_row - This signal will send the following information, in
     order: GtkCList *clist, gint row, gint column, GtkEventButton
     *event

  +o  unselect_row - When the user unselects a row, this signal is
     activated. It sends the same information as select_row

  +o  click_column - Send GtkCList *clist, gint column

  So if we want to connect a callback to select_row, the callback
  function would be declared like this



       void select_row_callback(GtkWidget *widget,
                                gint row,
                                gint column,
                                GdkEventButton *event,
                                gpointer data);




  The callback is connected as usual with



       gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT( clist),
                          "select_row"
                          GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(select_row_callback),
                          NULL);

  The purpose of tree widgets is to display hierarchically-organized
  data. The Tree widget itself is a vertical container for widgets of
  type TreeItem. Tree itself is not terribly different from CList - both
  are derived directly from Container, and the Container methods work in
  the same way on Tree widgets as on CList widgets. The difference is
  that Tree widgets can be nested within other Tree widgets. We'll see
  how to do this shortly.

  The Tree widget has its own window, and defaults to a white
  background, as does CList. Also, most of the Tree methods work in the
  same way as the corresponding CList ones. However, Tree is not derived
  from CList, so you cannot use them interchangeably.





  1122..11..  CCrreeaattiinngg aa TTrreeee

  A Tree is created in the usual way, using:



       GtkWidget *gtk_tree_new( void );




  Like the CList widget, a Tree will simply keep growing as more items
  are added to it, as well as when subtrees are expanded.  For this
  reason, they are almost always packed into a ScrolledWindow. You might
  want to use gtk_widget_set_usize() on the scrolled window to ensure
  that it is big enough to see the tree's items, as the default size for
  ScrolledWindow is quite small.

  Now that you have a tree, you'll probably want to add some items to
  it.  ``The Tree Item Widget'' below explains the gory details of
  TreeItem. For now, it'll suffice to create one, using:



       GtkWidget *gtk_tree_item_new_with_label( gchar *label );




  You can then add it to the tree using one of the following (see
  ``Functions and Macros'' below for more options):



       void gtk_tree_append( GtkTree    *tree,
                              GtkWidget *tree_item );

       void gtk_tree_prepend( GtkTree   *tree,
                              GtkWidget *tree_item );




  Note that you must add items to a Tree one at a time - there is no
  equivalent to gtk_list_*_items().


  1122..22..  AAddddiinngg aa SSuubbttrreeee

  A subtree is created like any other Tree widget. A subtree is added to
  another tree beneath a tree item, using:



       void gtk_tree_item_set_subtree( GtkTreeItem *tree_item,
                                       GtkWidget   *subtree );




  You do not need to call gtk_widget_show() on a subtree before or after
  adding it to a TreeItem. However, you _m_u_s_t have added the TreeItem in
  question to a parent tree before calling gtk_tree_item_set_subtree().
  This is because, technically, the parent of the subtree is _n_o_t the
  GtkTreeItem which "owns" it, but rather the GtkTree which holds that
  GtkTreeItem.
  When you add a subtree to a TreeItem, a plus or minus sign appears
  beside it, which the user can click on to "expand" or "collapse" it,
  meaning, to show or hide its subtree. TreeItems are collapsed by
  default. Note that when you collapse a TreeItem, any selected items in
  its subtree remain selected, which may not be what the user expects.


  1122..33..  HHaannddlliinngg tthhee SSeelleeccttiioonn LLiisstt

  As with CList, the Tree type has a selection field, and it is possible
  to control the behaviour of the tree (somewhat) by setting the
  selection type using:



       void gtk_tree_set_selection_mode( GtkTree          *tree,
                                         GtkSelectionMode  mode );




  The semantics associated with the various selection modes are
  described in the section on the CList widget. As with the CList
  widget, the "select_child", "unselect_child" (not really - see
  ``Signals'' below for an explanation), and "selection_changed" signals
  are emitted when list items are selected or unselected. However, in
  order to take advantage of these signals, you need to know _w_h_i_c_h Tree
  widget they will be emitted by, and where to find the list of selected
  items.

  This is a source of potential confusion. The best way to explain this
  is that though all Tree widgets are created equal, some are more equal
  than others. All Tree widgets have their own X window, and can
  therefore receive events such as mouse clicks (if their TreeItems or
  their children don't catch them first!). However, to make
  GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE and GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE selection types behave
  in a sane manner, the list of selected items is specific to the
  topmost Tree widget in a hierarchy, known as the "root tree".

  Thus, accessing the selection field directly in an arbitrary Tree
  widget is not a good idea unless you _k_n_o_w it's the root tree. Instead,
  use the GTK_TREE_SELECTION (Tree) macro, which gives the root tree's
  selection list as a GList pointer. Of course, this list can include
  items that are not in the subtree in question if the selection type is
  GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE.

  Finally, the "select_child" (and "unselect_child", in theory) signals
  are emitted by all trees, but the "selection_changed" signal is only
  emitted by the root tree. Consequently, if you want to handle the
  "select_child" signal for a tree and all its subtrees, you will have
  to call gtk_signal_connect() for every subtree.


  1122..44..  TTrreeee WWiiddggeett IInntteerrnnaallss

  The Tree's struct definition looks like this:










  struct _GtkTree
  {
    GtkContainer container;

    GList *children;

    GtkTree* root_tree; /* owner of selection list */
    GtkWidget* tree_owner;
    GList *selection;
    guint level;
    guint indent_value;
    guint current_indent;
    guint selection_mode : 2;
    guint view_mode : 1;
    guint view_line : 1;
  };




  The perils associated with accessing the selection field directly have
  already been mentioned. The other important fields of the struct can
  also be accessed with handy macros or class functions.
  GTK_IS_ROOT_TREE (Tree) returns a boolean value which indicates
  whether a tree is the root tree in a Tree hierarchy, while
  GTK_TREE_ROOT_TREE (Tree) returns the root tree, an object of type
  GtkTree (so, remember to cast it using GTK_WIDGET (Tree) if you want
  to use one of the gtk_widget_*() functions on it).

  Instead of directly accessing the children field of a Tree widget,
  it's probably best to cast it using >tt/GTK_CONTAINER (Tree)/, and
  pass it to the gtk_container_children() function. This creates a
  duplicate of the original list, so it's advisable to free it up using
  g_list_free() after you're done with it, or to iterate on it
  destructively, like this:



           children = gtk_container_children (GTK_CONTAINER (tree));
           while (children) {
             do_something_nice (GTK_TREE_ITEM (children->data));
             children = g_list_remove_link (children, children);
       }




  The tree_owner field is defined only in subtrees, where it points to
  the TreeItem widget which holds the tree in question.  The level field
  indicates how deeply nested a particular tree is; root trees have
  level 0, and each successive level of subtrees has a level one greater
  than the parent level. This field is set only after a Tree widget is
  actually mapped (i.e. drawn on the screen).


  1122..44..11..  SSiiggnnaallss



       void selection_changed( GtkTree *tree );




  This signal will be emitted whenever the selection field of a Tree has
  changed. This happens when a child of the Tree is selected or
  deselected.



       void select_child( GtkTree   *tree,
                          GtkWidget *child );




  This signal is emitted when a child of the Tree is about to get
  selected. This happens on calls to gtk_tree_select_item(),
  gtk_tree_select_child(), on _a_l_l button presses and calls to
  gtk_tree_item_toggle() and gtk_item_toggle().  It may sometimes be
  indirectly triggered on other occasions where children get added to or
  removed from the Tree.



       void unselect_child (GtkTree   *tree,
                            GtkWidget *child);




  This signal is emitted when a child of the Tree is about to get
  deselected. As of GTK 1.0.4, this seems to only occur on calls to
  gtk_tree_unselect_item() or gtk_tree_unselect_child(), and perhaps on
  other occasions, but _n_o_t when a button press deselects a child, nor on
  emission of the "toggle" signal by gtk_item_toggle().

                             gint       position );




  Insert a tree item into a Tree at the position in the list specified
  by position.



       void gtk_tree_remove_items( GtkTree *tree,
                                   GList   *items );




  Remove a list of items (in the form of a GList *) from a Tree.  Note
  that removing an item from a tree dereferences (and thus usually)
  destroys it _a_n_d its subtree, if it has one, _a_n_d all subtrees in that
  subtree. If you want to remove only one item, you can use
  gtk_container_remove().



       void gtk_tree_clear_items( GtkTree *tree,
                                  gint     start,
                                  gint     end );




  Remove the items from position start to position end from a Tree. The
  same warning about dereferencing applies here, as
  gtk_tree_clear_items() simply constructs a list and passes it to
  gtk_tree_remove_items().



       void gtk_tree_select_item( GtkTree *tree,
                                  gint     item );




  Emits the "select_item" signal for the child at position item, thus
  selecting the child (unless you unselect it in a signal handler).



       void gtk_tree_unselect_item( GtkTree *tree,
                                    gint     item );



  Emits the "unselect_item" signal for the child at position item, thus
  unselecting the child.



       void gtk_tree_select_child( GtkTree   *tree,
                                   GtkWidget *tree_item );




  Emits the "select_item" signal for the child tree_item, thus selecting
  it.



       void gtk_tree_unselect_child( GtkTree   *tree,
                                     GtkWidget *tree_item );




  Emits the "unselect_item" signal for the child tree_item, thus
  unselecting it.



       gint gtk_tree_child_position( GtkTree   *tree,
                                     GtkWidget *child );




  Returns the position in the tree of child, unless child is not in the
  tree, in which case it returns -1.



       void gtk_tree_set_selection_mode( GtkTree          *tree,
                                         GtkSelectionMode  mode );




  Sets the selection mode, which can be one of GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE (the
  default), GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE, GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE, or
  GTK_SELECTION_EXTENDED. This is only defined for root trees, which
  makes sense, since the root tree "owns" the selection. Setting it for
  subtrees has no effect at all; the value is simply ignored.



       void gtk_tree_set_view_mode( GtkTree         *tree,
                                    GtkTreeViewMode  mode );




  Sets the "view mode", which can be either GTK_TREE_VIEW_LINE (the
  default) or GTK_TREE_VIEW_ITEM.  The view mode propagates from a tree
  to its subtrees, and can't be set exclusively to a subtree (this is
  not exactly true - see the example code comments).

  The term "view mode" is rather ambiguous - basically, it controls the
  way the highlight is drawn when one of a tree's children is selected.
  If it's GTK_TREE_VIEW_LINE, the entire TreeItem widget is highlighted,
  while for GTK_TREE_VIEW_ITEM, only the child widget (i.e., usually the
  label) is highlighted.



       void gtk_tree_set_view_lines( GtkTree *tree,
                                     guint    flag );




  Controls whether connecting lines between tree items are drawn.  flag
  is either TRUE, in which case they are, or FALSE, in which case they
  aren't.



       GtkTree *GTK_TREE (gpointer obj);




  Cast a generic pointer to "GtkTree *".



       GtkTreeClass *GTK_TREE_CLASS (gpointer class);




  Cast a generic pointer to "GtkTreeClass *".



       gint GTK_IS_TREE (gpointer obj);




  Determine if a generic pointer refers to a "GtkTree" object.



       gint GTK_IS_ROOT_TREE (gpointer obj)




  Determine if a generic pointer refers to a "GtkTree" object _a_n_d is a
  root tree. Though this will accept any pointer, the results of passing
  it a pointer that does not refer to a Tree are undefined and possibly
  harmful.



       GtkTree *GTK_TREE_ROOT_TREE (gpointer obj)




  Return the root tree of a pointer to a "GtkTree" object. The above
  warning applies.



  GList *GTK_TREE_SELECTION( gpointer obj)




  Return the selection list of the root tree of a "GtkTree" object. The
  above warning applies here, too.

  The TreeItem widget, like CListItem, is derived from Item, which in
  turn is derived from Bin.  Therefore, the item itself is a generic
  container holding exactly one child widget, which can be of any type.
  The TreeItem widget has a number of extra fields, but the only one we
  need be concerned with is the subtree field.

  The definition for the TreeItem struct looks like this:



       struct _GtkTreeItem
       {
         GtkItem item;

         GtkWidget *subtree;
         GtkWidget *pixmaps_box;
         GtkWidget *plus_pix_widget, *minus_pix_widget;

         GList *pixmaps;               /* pixmap node for this items color depth */

         guint expanded : 1;
       };




  The pixmaps_box field is an EventBox which catches clicks on the
  plus/minus symbol which controls expansion and collapsing. The pixmaps
  field points to an internal data structure. Since you can always
  obtain the subtree of a TreeItem in a (relatively) type-safe manner
  with the GTK_TREE_ITEM_SUBTREE (Item) macro, it's probably advisable
  never to touch the insides of a TreeItem unless you _r_e_a_l_l_y know what
  you're doing.

  Since it is directly derived from an Item it can be treated as such by
  using the GTK_ITEM (TreeItem) macro. A TreeItem usually holds a label,
  so the convenience function gtk_list_item_new_with_label() is
  provided. The same effect can be achieved using code like the
  following, which is actually copied verbatim from
  gtk_tree_item_new_with_label():



       tree_item = gtk_tree_item_new ();
       label_widget = gtk_label_new (label);
       gtk_misc_set_alignment (GTK_MISC (label_widget), 0.0, 0.5);

       gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (tree_item), label_widget);
       gtk_widget_show (label_widget);




  As one is not forced to add a Label to a TreeItem, you could also add
  an HBox or an Arrow, or even a Notebook (though your app will likely
  be quite unpopular in this case) to the TreeItem.

  If you remove all the items from a subtree, it will be destroyed and
  unparented, unless you reference it beforehand, and the TreeItem which
  owns it will be collapsed. So, if you want it to stick around, do
  something like the following:



       gtk_widget_ref (tree);
       owner = GTK_TREE(tree)->tree_owner;
       gtk_container_remove (GTK_CONTAINER(tree), item);
       if (tree->parent == NULL){
         gtk_tree_item_expand (GTK_TREE_ITEM(owner));
         gtk_tree_item_set_subtree (GTK_TREE_ITEM(owner), tree);
       }
       else
         gtk_widget_unref (tree);




  Finally, drag-n-drop _d_o_e_s work with TreeItems. You just have to make
  sure that the TreeItem you want to make into a drag item or a drop
  site has not only been added to a Tree, but that each successive
  parent widget has a parent itself, all the way back to a toplevel or
  dialog window, when you call gtk_widget_dnd_drag_set() or
  gtk_widget_dnd_drop_set().  Otherwise, strange things will happen.


  1122..55..11..  SSiiggnnaallss

  TreeItem inherits the "select", "deselect", and "toggle" signals from
  Item. In addition, it adds two signals of its own, "expand" and
  "collapse".



       void select( GtkItem *tree_item );




  This signal is emitted when an item is about to be selected, either
  after it has been clicked on by the user, or when the program calls
  gtk_tree_item_select(), gtk_item_select(), or gtk_tree_select_child().



       void deselect( GtkItem *tree_item );




  This signal is emitted when an item is about to be unselected, either
  after it has been clicked on by the user, or when the program calls
  gtk_tree_item_deselect() or gtk_item_deselect(). In the case of
  TreeItems, it is also emitted by gtk_tree_unselect_child(), and
  sometimes gtk_tree_select_child().



       void toggle( GtkItem *tree_item );



  This signal is emitted when the program calls gtk_item_toggle().  The
  effect it has when emitted on a TreeItem is to call
  gtk_tree_select_child() (and never gtk_tree_unselect_child()) on the
  item's parent tree, if the item has a parent tree.  If it doesn't,
  then the highlight is reversed on the item.



       void expand( GtkTreeItem *tree_item );




  This signal is emitted when the tree item's subtree is about to be
  expanded, that is, when the user clicks on the plus sign next to the
  item, or when the program calls gtk_tree_item_expand().



       void collapse( GtkTreeItem *tree_item );




  This signal is emitted when the tree item's subtree is about to be
  collapsed, that is, when the user clicks on the minus sign next to the
  item, or when the program calls gtk_tree_item_collapse().


  1122..55..22..  FFuunnccttiioonnss aanndd MMaaccrrooss



       guint gtk_tree_item_get_type( void );




  Returns the "GtkTreeItem" type identifier.



       GtkWidget* gtk_tree_item_new( void );




  Create a new TreeItem object. The new widget is returned as a pointer
  to a GtkWidget object. NULL is returned on failure.



       GtkWidget* gtk_tree_item_new_with_label (gchar       *label);




  Create a new TreeItem object, having a single GtkLabel as the sole
  child. The new widget is returned as a pointer to a GtkWidget object.
  NULL is returned on failure.



       void gtk_tree_item_select( GtkTreeItem *tree_item );


  This function is basically a wrapper around a call to gtk_item_select
  (GTK_ITEM (tree_item)) which will emit the select signal.



       void gtk_tree_item_deselect( GtkTreeItem *tree_item );




  This function is basically a wrapper around a call to
  gtk_item_deselect (GTK_ITEM (tree_item)) which will emit the deselect
  signal.



       void gtk_tree_item_set_subtree( GtkTreeItem *tree_item,
                                       GtkWidget   *subtree );




  This function adds a subtree to tree_item, showing it if tree_item is
  expanded, or hiding it if tree_item is collapsed. Again, remember that
  the tree_item must have already been added to a tree for this to work.



       void gtk_tree_item_remove_subtree( GtkTreeItem *tree_item );




  This removes all of tree_item's subtree's children (thus unreferencing
  and destroying it, any of its children's subtrees, and so on...), then
  removes the subtree itself, and hides the plus/minus sign.



       void gtk_tree_item_expand( GtkTreeItem *tree_item );




  This emits the "expand" signal on tree_item, which expands it.



       void gtk_tree_item_collapse( GtkTreeItem *tree_item );




  This emits the "collapse" signal on tree_item, which collapses it.



       GtkTreeItem *GTK_TREE_ITEM (gpointer obj)




  Cast a generic pointer to "GtkTreeItem *".



  GtkTreeItemClass *GTK_TREE_ITEM_CLASS (gpointer obj)




  Cast a generic pointer to "GtkTreeItemClass".



       gint GTK_IS_TREE_ITEM (gpointer obj)




  Determine if a generic pointer refers to a "GtkTreeItem" object.



       GtkWidget GTK_TREE_ITEM_SUBTREE (gpointer obj)




  Returns a tree item's subtree (obj should point to a "GtkTreeItem"
  object).

  This is somewhat like the tree example in testgtk.c, but a lot less
  complete (although much better commented).  It puts up a window with a
  tree, and connects all the signals for the relevant objects, so you
  can see when they are emitted.

  There are two ways to create menus: there's the easy way, and there's
  the hard way. Both have their uses, but you can usually use the
  Itemfactory (the easy way). The "hard" way is to create all the menus
  using the calls directly. The easy way is to use the gtk_item_factory
  calls. This is much simpler, but there are advantages and
  disadvantages to each approach.

  The Itemfactory is much easier to use, and to add new menus to,
  although writing a few wrapper functions to create menus using the
  manual method could go a long way towards usability. With the
  Itemfactory, it is not possible to add images or the character '/' to
  the menus.


  1133..11..  MMaannuuaall MMeennuu CCrreeaattiioonn

  In the true tradition of teaching, we'll show you the hard way first.
  :)

  There are three widgets that go into making a menubar and submenus:

  +o  a menu item, which is what the user wants to select, e.g., "Save"

  +o  a menu, which acts as a container for the menu items, and

  +o  a menubar, which is a container for each of the individual menus.

  This is slightly complicated by the fact that menu item widgets are
  used for two different things. They are both the widgets that are
  packed into the menu, and the widget that is packed into the menubar,
  which, when selected, activates the menu.

  Let's look at the functions that are used to create menus and
  menubars.  This first function is used to create a new menubar.



       GtkWidget *gtk_menu_bar_new( void );




  This rather self explanatory function creates a new menubar. You use
  gtk_container_add to pack this into a window, or the box_pack
  functions to pack it into a box - the same as buttons.



       GtkWidget *gtk_menu_new( void );




  This function returns a pointer to a new menu; it is never actually
  shown (with gtk_widget_show), it is just a container for the menu
  items. I hope this will become more clear when you look at the example
  below.

  The next two calls are used to create menu items that are packed into
  the menu (and menubar).



       GtkWidget *gtk_menu_item_new( void );




  and



       GtkWidget *gtk_menu_item_new_with_label( const char *label );


  These calls are used to create the menu items that are to be
  displayed.  Remember to differentiate between a "menu" as created with
  gtk_menu_new and a "menu item" as created by the gtk_menu_item_new
  functions. The menu item will be an actual button with an associated
  action, whereas a menu will be a container holding menu items.

  The gtk_menu_new_with_label and gtk_menu_new functions are just as
  you'd expect after reading about the buttons. One creates a new menu
  item with a label already packed into it, and the other just creates a
  blank menu item.

  Once you've created a menu item you have to put it into a menu. This
  is done using the function gtk_menu_append. In order to capture when
  the item is selected by the user, we need to connect to the activate
  signal in the usual way. So, if we wanted to create a standard File
  menu, with the options Open, Save, and Quit, the code would look
  something like:



           file_menu = gtk_menu_new ();    /* Don't need to show menus */

           /* Create the menu items */
           open_item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Open");
           save_item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Save");
           quit_item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Quit");

           /* Add them to the menu */
           gtk_menu_append (GTK_MENU (file_menu), open_item);
           gtk_menu_append (GTK_MENU (file_menu), save_item);
           gtk_menu_append (GTK_MENU (file_menu), quit_item);

           /* Attach the callback functions to the activate signal */
           gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (open_items), "activate",
                                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (menuitem_response),
                                      (gpointer) "file.open");
           gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (save_items), "activate",
                                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (menuitem_response),
                                      (gpointer) "file.save");

           /* We can attach the Quit menu item to our exit function */
           gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (quit_items), "activate",
                                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (destroy),
                                      (gpointer) "file.quit");

           /* We do need to show menu items */
           gtk_widget_show (open_item);
           gtk_widget_show (save_item);
           gtk_widget_show (quit_item);




  At this point we have our menu. Now we need to create a menubar and a
  menu item for the File entry, to which we add our menu. The code looks
  like this:



           menu_bar = gtk_menu_bar_new ();
           gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), menu_bar);
           gtk_widget_show (menu_bar);

           file_item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("File");
           gtk_widget_show (file_item);

  Now we need to associate the menu with file_item. This is done with
  the function


       void gtk_menu_item_set_submenu( GtkMenuItem *menu_item, GtkWidget
       *submenu );


  So, our example would continue with



           gtk_menu_item_set_submenu (GTK_MENU_ITEM (file_item), file_menu);




  All that is left to do is to add the menu to the menubar, which is
  accomplished using the function


       void gtk_menu_bar_append( GtkMenuBar *menu_bar, GtkWidget  *menu_item
       );


  which in our case looks like this:



           gtk_menu_bar_append (GTK_MENU_BAR (menu_bar), file_item);




  If we wanted the menu right justified on the menubar, such as help
  menus often are, we can use the following function (again on file_item
  in the current example) before attaching it to the menubar.



       void gtk_menu_item_right_justify( GtkMenuItem *menu_item );




  Here is a summary of the steps needed to create a menu bar with menus
  attached:


  +o  Create a new menu using gtk_menu_new()

  +o  Use multiple calls to gtk_menu_item_new() for each item you wish to
     have on your menu. And use gtk_menu_append() to put each of these
     new items on to the menu.

  +o  Create a menu item using gtk_menu_item_new(). This will be the root
     of the menu, the text appearing here will be on the menubar itself.

  +o  Use gtk_menu_item_set_submenu() to attach the menu to the root menu
     item (the one created in the above step).

  +o  Create a new menubar using gtk_menu_bar_new. This step only needs
     to be done once when creating a series of menus on one menu bar.

  +o  Use gtk_menu_bar_append() to put the root menu onto the menubar.

  Creating a popup menu is nearly the same. The difference is that the
  menu is not posted "automatically" by a menubar, but explicitly by
  calling the function gtk_menu_popup() from a button-press event, for
  example.  Take these steps:


  +o  Create an event handling function. It needs to have the prototype

       static gint handler (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent  *event);


  and it will use the event to find out where to pop up the menu.

  +o  In the event handler, if the event is a mouse button press, treat
     event as a button event (which it is) and use it as shown in the
     sample code to pass information to gtk_menu_popup().

  +o  Bind that event handler to a widget with

       gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (widget), "event", GTK_SIG-
       NAL_FUNC (handler), GTK_OBJECT (menu));


  where widget is the widget you are binding to, handler is the handling
  function, and menu is a menu created with gtk_menu_new(). This can be
  a menu which is also posted by a menu bar, as shown in the sample
  code.

  You may also set a menu item to be insensitive and, using an
  accelerator table, bind keys to menu functions.

  Now that we've shown you the hard way, here's how you do it using the
  gtk_item_factory calls.

  Here is an example using the GTK item factory.

     Item 3: The callback function.
     Item 4: The callback action.  This changes the parameters with
             which the function is called.  The default is 0.

  For now, there's only this example. An explanation and lots 'o'
  comments will follow later.

  The Text widget allows multiple lines of text to be displayed and
  edited. It supports both multi-colored and multi-font text, allowing
  them to be mixed in any way we wish. It also has a wide set of key
  based text editing commands, which are compatible with Emacs.

  The text widget supports full cut-and-paste facilities, including the
  use of double- and triple-click to select a word and a whole line,
  respectively.
  1144..11..  CCrreeaattiinngg aanndd CCoonnffiigguurriinngg aa TTeexxtt bbooxx

  There is only one function for creating a new Text widget.



       GtkWidget *gtk_text_new( GtkAdjustment *hadj,
                                GtkAdjustment *vadj );




  The arguments allow us to give the Text widget pointers to Adjustments
  that can be used to track the viewing position of the widget. Passing
  NULL values to either or both of these arguments will cause the
  gtk_text_new function to create its own.



       void gtk_text_set_adjustments( GtkText       *text,
                                      GtkAdjustment *hadj,
                                      GtkAdjustment *vadj );




  The above function allows the horizontal and vertical adjustments of a
  text widget to be changed at any time.

  The text widget will not automatically create its own scrollbars when
  the amount of text to be displayed is too long for the display window.
  We therefore have to create and add them to the display layout
  ourselves.



         vscrollbar = gtk_vscrollbar_new (GTK_TEXT(text)->vadj);
         gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(hbox), vscrollbar, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
         gtk_widget_show (vscrollbar);




  The above code snippet creates a new vertical scrollbar, and attaches
  it to the vertical adjustment of the text widget, text. It then packs
  it into a box in the normal way.

  Note, currently the Text widget does not support horizontal
  scrollbars.

  There are two main ways in which a Text widget can be used: to allow
  the user to edit a body of text, or to allow us to display multiple
  lines of text to the user. In order for us to switch between these
  modes of operation, the text widget has the following function:



       void gtk_text_set_editable( GtkText *text,
                                   gint     editable );




  The editable argument is a TRUE or FALSE value that specifies whether
  the user is permitted to edit the contents of the Text widget. When
  the text widget is editable, it will display a cursor at the current
  insertion point.

  You are not, however, restricted to just using the text widget in
  these two modes. You can toggle the editable state of the text widget
  at any time, and can insert text at any time.

  The text widget wraps lines of text that are too long to fit onto a
  single line of the display window. Its default behaviour is to break
  words across line breaks. This can be changed using the next function:



       void gtk_text_set_word_wrap( GtkText *text,
                                    gint     word_wrap );




  Using this function allows us to specify that the text widget should
  wrap long lines on word boundaries. The word_wrap argument is a TRUE
  or FALSE value.


  1144..22..  TTeexxtt MMaanniippuullaattiioonn

  The current insertion point of a Text widget can be set using


       void gtk_text_set_point( GtkText *text,
                                guint    index );




  where index is the position to set the insertion point.

  Analogous to this is the function for getting the current insertion
  point:



       guint gtk_text_get_point( GtkText *text );




  A function that is useful in combination with the above two functions
  is



       guint gtk_text_get_length( GtkText *text );




  which returns the current length of the Text widget. The length is the
  number of characters that are within the text block of the widget,
  including characters such as newline, which marks the end of lines.

  In order to insert text at the current insertion point of a Text
  widget, the function gtk_text_insert is used, which also allows us to
  specify background and foreground colors and a font for the text.



  void gtk_text_insert( GtkText    *text,
                        GdkFont    *font,
                        GdkColor   *fore,
                        GdkColor   *back,
                        const char *chars,
                        gint        length );




  Passing a value of NULL in as the value for the foreground color,
  background color or font will result in the values set within the
  widget style to be used. Using a value of -1 for the length parameter
  will result in the whole of the text string given being inserted.

  The text widget is one of the few within GTK that redraws itself
  dynamically, outside of the gtk_main function. This means that all
  changes to the contents of the text widget take effect immediately.
  This may be undesirable when performing multiple changes to the text
  widget. In order to allow us to perform multiple updates to the text
  widget without it continuously redrawing, we can freeze the widget,
  which temporarily stops it from automatically redrawing itself every
  time it is changed. We can then thaw the widget after our updates are
  complete.

  The following two functions perform this freeze and thaw action:



       void gtk_text_freeze( GtkText *text );

       void gtk_text_thaw( GtkText *text );




  Text is deleted from the text widget relative to the current insertion
  point by the following two functions. The return value is a TRUE or
  FALSE indicator of whether the operation was successful.



       gint gtk_text_backward_delete( GtkText *text,
                                      guint    nchars );

       gint gtk_text_forward_delete ( GtkText *text,
                                      guint    nchars );




  If you want to retrieve the contents of the text widget, then the
  macro GTK_TEXT_INDEX(t, index) allows you to retrieve the character at
  position index within the text widget t.

  To retrieve larger blocks of text, we can use the function



       gchar *gtk_editable_get_chars( GtkEditable *editable,
                                      gint         start_pos,
                                      gint         end_pos );




  This is a function of the parent class of the text widget. A value of
  -1 as end_pos signifies the end of the text. The index of the text
  starts at 0.

  The function allocates a new chunk of memory for the text block, so
  don't forget to free it with a call to g_free when you have finished
  with it.

  The text widget has a number of pre-installed keyboard shortcuts for
  common editing, motion and selection functions. These are accessed
  using Control and Alt key combinations.

  In addition to these, holding down the Control key whilst using cursor
  key movement will move the cursor by words rather than characters.
  Holding down Shift whilst using cursor movement will extend the
  selection.

  These all require authors! :) Please consider contributing to our
  tutorial.

  If you must use one of these widgets that are undocumented, I strongly
  suggest you take a look at their respective header files in the GTK
  distribution. GTK's function names are very descriptive. Once you have
  an understanding of how things work, it's not difficult to figure out
  how to use a widget simply by looking at its function declarations.
  This, along with a few examples from others' code, and it should be no
  problem.

  When you do come to understand all the functions of a new undocumented
  widget, please consider writing a tutorial on it so others may benefit
  from your time.

  This describes the functions used to operate on widgets. These can be
  used to set style, padding, size, etc.

  You may be wondering how you make GTK do useful work when in gtk_main.
  Well, you have several options. Using the following function you can
  create a timeout function that will be called every "interval"
  milliseconds.



       gint gtk_timeout_add( guint32     interval,
                             GtkFunction function,
                             gpointer    data );




  The first argument is the number of milliseconds between calls to your
  function. The second argument is the function you wish to have called,
  and the third, the data passed to this callback function. The return
  value is an integer "tag" which may be used to stop the timeout by
  calling:



       void gtk_timeout_remove( gint tag );




  You may also stop the timeout function by returning zero or FALSE from
  your callback function. Obviously this means if you want your function
  to continue to be called, it should return a non-zero value, i.e.,
  TRUE.

  The declaration of your callback should look something like this:



       gint timeout_callback( gpointer data );





  1177..22..  MMoonniittoorriinngg IIOO

  A nifty feature of GDK (the library that underlies GTK), is the
  ability to have it check for data on a file descriptor for you (as
  returned by open(2) or socket(2)). This is especially useful for
  networking applications. The function:



       gint gdk_input_add( gint              source,
                           GdkInputCondition condition,
                           GdkInputFunction  function,
                           gpointer          data );




  Where the first argument is the file descriptor you wish to have
  watched, and the second specifies what you want GDK to look for. This
  may be one of:


  +o  GDK_INPUT_READ - Call your function when there is data ready for
     reading on your file descriptor.

  +o  >GDK_INPUT_WRITE - Call your function when the file descriptor is
     ready for writing.

  As I'm sure you've figured out already, the third argument is the
  function you wish to have called when the above conditions are
  satisfied, and the fourth is the data to pass to this function.

  The return value is a tag that may be used to stop GDK from monitoring
  this file descriptor using the following function.



       void gdk_input_remove( gint tag );



  The callback function should be declared as:



       void input_callback( gpointer          data,
                            gint              source,
                            GdkInputCondition condition );




  Where source and condition are as specified above.


  1177..33..  IIddllee FFuunnccttiioonnss

  What if you have a function which you want to be called when nothing
  else is happening ?



       gint gtk_idle_add( GtkFunction function,
                          gpointer    data );




  This causes GTK to call the specified function whenever nothing else
  is happening.



       void gtk_idle_remove( gint tag );




  I won't explain the meaning of the arguments as they follow very much
  like the ones above. The function pointed to by the first argument to
  gtk_idle_add will be called whenever the opportunity arises. As with
  the others, returning FALSE will stop the idle function from being
  called.

  Signal emission is the process whereby GTK runs all handlers for a
  specific object and signal.


  First, note that the return value from a signal emission is the return
  value of the _l_a_s_t handler executed. Since event signals are all of
  type GTK_RUN_LAST, this will be the default (GTK supplied) handler,
  unless you connect with gtk_signal_connect_after().

  The way an event (say "button_press_event") is handled, is:

  +o  Start with the widget where the event occured.

  +o  Emit the generic "event" signal. If that signal handler returns a
     value of TRUE, stop all processing.

  +o  Otherwise, emit a specific, "button_press_event" signal. If that
     returns TRUE, stop all processing.

  +o  Otherwise, go to the widget's parent, and repeat the above two
     steps.

  +o  Continue until some signal handler returns TRUE, or until the top-
     level widget is reached.

  Some consequences of the above are:

  +o  Your handler's return value will have no effect if there is a
     default handler, unless you connect with
     gtk_signal_connect_after().

  +o  To prevent the default handler from being run, you need to connect
     with gtk_signal_connect() and use gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name() -
     the return value only affects whether the signal is propagated, not
     the current emission.

  One type of interprocess communication supported by X and GTK is
  _s_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n_s. A selection identifies a chunk of data, for instance, a
  portion of text, selected by the user in some fashion, for instance,
  by dragging with the mouse. Only one application on a display (the
  _o_w_n_e_r) can own a particular selection at one time, so when a selection
  is claimed by one application, the previous owner must indicate to the
  user that selection has been relinquished. Other applications can
  request the contents of a selection in different forms, called
  _t_a_r_g_e_t_s. There can be any number of selections, but most X
  applications only handle one, the _p_r_i_m_a_r_y _s_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n.

  In most cases, it isn't necessary for a GTK application to deal with
  selections itself. The standard widgets, such as the Entry widget,
  already have the capability to claim the selection when appropriate
  (e.g., when the user drags over text), and to retrieve the contents of
  the selection owned by another widget or another application (e.g.,
  when the user clicks the second mouse button). However, there may be
  cases in which you want to give other widgets the ability to supply
  the selection, or you wish to retrieve targets not supported by
  default.

  A fundamental concept needed to understand selection handling is that
  of the _a_t_o_m. An atom is an integer that uniquely identifies a string
  (on a certain display). Certain atoms are predefined by the X server,
  and in some cases there are constants in gtk.h corresponding to these
  atoms. For instance the constant GDK_PRIMARY_SELECTION corresponds to
  the string "PRIMARY".  In other cases, you should use the functions
  gdk_atom_intern(), to get the atom corresponding to a string, and
  gdk_atom_name(), to get the name of an atom. Both selections and
  targets are identified by atoms.


  1199..22..  RReettrriieevviinngg tthhee sseelleeccttiioonn

  Retrieving the selection is an asynchronous process. To start the
  process, you call:



       gint gtk_selection_convert( GtkWidget *widget,
                                   GdkAtom    selection,
                                   GdkAtom    target,
                                   guint32    time );




  This _c_o_n_v_e_r_t_s the selection into the form specified by target. If at
  all possible, the time field should be the time from the event that
  triggered the selection. This helps make sure that events occur in the
  order that the user requested them. However, if it is not available
  (for instance, if the conversion was triggered by a "clicked" signal),
  then you can use the constant GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

  When the selection owner responds to the request, a
  "selection_received" signal is sent to your application. The handler
  for this signal receives a pointer to a GtkSelectionData structure,
  which is defined as:



       struct _GtkSelectionData
       {
         GdkAtom selection;
         GdkAtom target;
         GdkAtom type;
         gint    format;
         guchar *data;
         gint    length;
       };




  selection and target are the values you gave in your
  gtk_selection_convert() call. type is an atom that identifies the type
  of data returned by the selection owner. Some possible values are
  "STRING", a string of latin-1 characters, "ATOM", a series of atoms,
  "INTEGER", an integer, etc. Most targets can only return one type.
  format gives the length of the units (for instance characters) in
  bits. Usually, you don't care about this when receiving data. data is
  a pointer to the returned data, and length gives the length of the
  returned data, in bytes. If length is negative, then an error occurred
  and the selection could not be retrieved. This might happen if no
  application owned the selection, or if you requested a target that the
  application didn't support. The buffer is actually guaranteed to be
  one byte longer than length; the extra byte will always be zero, so it
  isn't necessary to make a copy of strings just to null terminate them.

  In the following example, we retrieve the special target "TARGETS",
  which is a list of all targets into which the selection can be
  converted.



  /* example-start selection gettargets.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>

  void selection_received( GtkWidget        *widget,
                           GtkSelectionData *selection_data,

  /* Signal handler invoked when user clicks on the "Get Targets" button */

                    gpointer data )
  {
    static GdkAtom targets_atom = GDK_NONE;

    /* Get the atom corresponding to the string "TARGETS" */
    if (targets_atom == GDK_NONE)
      targets_atom = gdk_atom_intern ("TARGETS", FALSE);

    /* And request the "TARGETS" target for the primary selection */
    gtk_selection_convert (widget, GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY, targets_atom,
                           GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
  }

  /* Signal handler called when the selections owner returns the data */

  Supplying the selection is a bit more complicated. You must register
  handlers that will be called when your selection is requested. For
  each selection/target pair you will handle, you make a call to:



       void gtk_selection_add_target (GtkWidget           *widget,
                                      GdkAtom              selection,
                                      GdkAtom              target,
                                      guint                info);




  widget, selection, and target identify the requests this handler will
  manage. When a request for a selection is received, the
  "selection_get" signal will be called. info can be used as an
  enumerator to identify the specific target within the callback
  function.

  The callback function has the signature:







  void  "selection_get" (GtkWidget          *widget,
                         GtkSelectionData   *selection_data,
                         guint               info,
                         guint               time);




  The GtkSelectionData is the same as above, but this time, we're
  responsible for filling in the fields type, format, data, and length.
  (The format field is actually important here - the X server uses it to
  figure out whether the data needs to be byte-swapped or not. Usually
  it will be 8 - _i_._e_. a character - or 32 - _i_._e_. a. integer.) This is
  done by calling the function:



       void gtk_selection_data_set( GtkSelectionData *selection_data,
                                    GdkAtom           type,
                                    gint              format,
                                    guchar           *data,
                                    gint              length );




  This function takes care of properly making a copy of the data so that
  you don't have to worry about keeping it around. (You should not fill
  in the fields of the GtkSelectionData structure by hand.)

  When prompted by the user, you claim ownership of the selection by
  calling:



       gint gtk_selection_owner_set( GtkWidget *widget,
                                     GdkAtom    selection,
                                     guint32    time );




  If another application claims ownership of the selection, you will
  receive a "selection_clear_event".

  As an example of supplying the selection, the following program adds
  selection functionality to a toggle button. When the toggle button is
  depressed, the program claims the primary selection. The only target
  supported (aside from certain targets like "TARGETS" supplied by GTK
  itself), is the "STRING" target. When this target is requested, a
  string representation of the time is returned.















  /* example-start selection setselection.c */

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>
  #include <time.h>

  /* Callback when the user toggles the selection */
  void selection_toggled( GtkWidget *widget,
                          gint      *have_selection )
  {
    if (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(widget)->active)

  GLib is a lower-level library that provides many useful definitions
  and functions available for use when creating GDK and GTK
  applications. These include definitions for basic types and their
  limits, standard macros, type conversions, byte order, memory
  allocation, warnings and assertions, message logging, timers, string
  utilities, hook functions, a lexical scanner, dynamic loading of
  modules, and automatic string completion. A number of data structures
  (and their related operations) are also defined, including memory
  chunks, doubly-linked lists, singly-linked lists, hash tables, strings
  (which can grow dynamically), string chunks (groups of strings),
  arrays (which can grow in size as elements are added), balanced binary
  trees, N-ary trees, quarks (a two-way association of a string and a
  unique integer identifier), keyed data lists (lists of data elements
  accessible by a string or integer id), relations and tuples (tables of
  data which can be indexed on any number of fields), and caches.

  A summary of some of GLib's capabilities follows; not every function,
  data structure, or operation is covered here.  For more complete
  information about the GLib routines, see the GLib documentation. One
  source of GLib documentation is http://www.gtk.org/.

  If you are using a language other than C, you should consult your
  language's binding documentation. In some cases your language may have
  equivalent functionality built-in, while in other cases it may not.


  2200..11..  DDeeffiinniittiioonnss

  Definitions for the extremes of many of the standard types are:



       G_MINFLOAT
       G_MAXFLOAT
       G_MINDOUBLE
       G_MAXDOUBLE
       G_MINSHORT
       G_MAXSHORT
       G_MININT
       G_MAXINT
       G_MINLONG
       G_MAXLONG




  Also, the following typedefs. The ones left unspecified are
  dynamically set depending on the architecture. Remember to avoid
  counting on the size of a pointer if you want to be portable! E.g., a

  The following functions are used to create, manage, and destroy
  standard doubly linked lists. Each element in the list contains a
  piece of data, together with pointers which link to the previous and
  next elements in the list. This enables easy movement in either
  direction through the list. The data item is of type "gpointer", which
  means the data can be a pointer to your real data or (through casting)
  a numeric value (but do not assume that int and gpointer have the same
  size!). These routines internally allocate list elements in blocks,
  which is more efficient than allocating elements individually.

  There is no function to specifically create a list. Instead, simply
  create a variable of type GList* and set its value to NULL; NULL is
  considered to be the empty list.

  To add elements to a list, use the g_list_append(), g_list_prepend(),
  g_list_insert(), or g_list_insert_sorted() routines. In all cases they
  accept a pointer to the beginning of the list, and return the
  (possibly changed) pointer to the beginning of the list. Thus, for all
  of the operations that add or remove elements, be sure to save the
  returned value!



       GList *g_list_append( GList    *list,
                             gpointer  data );




  This adds a new element (with value data) onto the end of the list.




       GList *g_list_prepend( GList    *list,
                              gpointer  data );




  This adds a new element (with value data) to the beginning of the
  list.




       GList *g_list_insert( GList    *list,
                             gpointer  data,
                             gint      position );




  This inserts a new element (with value data) into the list at the
  given position. If position is 0, this is just like g_list_prepend();
  if position is less than 0, this is just like g_list_append().



       GList *g_list_remove( GList    *list,
                             gpointer  data );



  This removes the element in the list with the value data; if the
  element isn't there, the list is unchanged.



       void g_list_free( GList *list );




  This frees all of the memory used by a GList. If the list elements
  refer to dynamically-allocated memory, then they should be freed
  first.

  There are many other GLib functions that support doubly linked lists;
  see the glib documentation for more information.  Here are a few of
  the more useful functions' signatures:




       GList *g_list_remove_link( GList *list,
                                  GList *link );

       GList *g_list_reverse( GList *list );

       GList *g_list_nth( GList *list,
                          gint   n );

       GList *g_list_find( GList    *list,
                           gpointer  data );

       GList *g_list_last( GList *list );

       GList *g_list_first( GList *list );

       gint g_list_length( GList *list );

       void g_list_foreach( GList    *list,
                            GFunc     func,
                            gpointer  user_data );

  Many of the above functions for singly linked lists are identical to
  the above. Here is a list of some of their operations:















  GSList *g_slist_append( GSList   *list,
                          gpointer  data );

  GSList *g_slist_prepend( GSList   *list,
                           gpointer  data );

  GSList *g_slist_insert( GSList   *list,
                          gpointer  data,
                          gint      position );

  GSList *g_slist_remove( GSList   *list,
                          gpointer  data );

  GSList *g_slist_remove_link( GSList *list,
                               GSList *link );

  GSList *g_slist_reverse( GSList *list );

  GSList *g_slist_nth( GSList *list,

  GSList *g_slist_last( GSList *list );

  gint g_slist_length( GSList *list );

  void g_slist_foreach( GSList   *list,

  2200..44..  MMeemmoorryy MMaannaaggeemmeenntt



       gpointer g_malloc( gulong size );




  This is a replacement for malloc(). You do not need to check the
  return value as it is done for you in this function. If the memory
  allocation fails for whatever reasons, your applications will be
  terminated.



       gpointer g_malloc0( gulong size );




  Same as above, but zeroes the memory before returning a pointer to it.



       gpointer g_realloc( gpointer mem,
                           gulong   size );


  Relocates "size" bytes of memory starting at "mem".  Obviously, the
  memory should have been previously allocated.



       void g_free( gpointer mem );




  Frees memory. Easy one. If mem is NULL it simply returns.



       void g_mem_profile( void );




  Dumps a profile of used memory, but requires that you add #define
  MEM_PROFILE to the top of glib/gmem.c and re-make and make install.



       void g_mem_check( gpointer mem );




  Checks that a memory location is valid. Requires you add #define
  MEM_CHECK to the top of gmem.c and re-make and make install.

  Timer functions can be used to time operations (e.g., to see how much
  time has elapsed). First, you create a new timer with g_timer_new().
  You can then use g_timer_start() to start timing an operation,
  g_timer_stop() to stop timing an operation, and g_timer_elapsed() to
  determine the elapsed time.



       GTimer *g_timer_new( void );

       void g_timer_destroy( GTimer *timer );

       void g_timer_start( GTimer  *timer );

       void g_timer_stop( GTimer  *timer );

       void g_timer_reset( GTimer  *timer );

       gdouble g_timer_elapsed( GTimer *timer,
                                gulong *microseconds );






  2200..66..  SSttrriinngg HHaannddlliinngg

  GLib defines a new type called a GString, which is similar to a
  standard C string but one that grows automatically. Its string data is
  null-terminated. What this gives you is protection from buffer
  overflow programming errors within your program. This is a very
  important feature, and hence I recommend that you make use of
  GStrings. GString itself has a simple public definition:



       struct GString
       {
         gchar *str; /* Points to the string's current \0-terminated value. */
         gint len; /* Current length */
       };




  As you might expect, there are a number of operations you can do with
  a GString.



       GString *g_string_new( gchar *init );




  This constructs a GString, copying the string value of init into the
  GString and returning a pointer to it. NULL may be given as the
  argument for an initially empty GString.




       void g_string_free( GString *string,
                           gint     free_segment );




  This frees the memory for the given GString. If free_segment is TRUE,
  then this also frees its character data.




       GString *g_string_assign( GString     *lval,
                                 const gchar *rval );




  This copies the characters from rval into lval, destroying the
  previous contents of lval. Note that lval will be lengthened as
  necessary to hold the string's contents, unlike the standard strcpy()
  function.

  The rest of these functions should be relatively obvious (the _c
  versions accept a character instead of a string):









  GString *g_string_truncate( GString *string,
                              gint     len );

  GString *g_string_append( GString *string,
                            gchar   *val );

  GString *g_string_append_c( GString *string,
                              gchar    c );

  GString *g_string_prepend( GString *string,
                             gchar   *val );

  GString *g_string_prepend_c( GString *string,
                               gchar    c );

  void g_string_sprintf( GString *string,
                         gchar   *fmt,
                         ...);

  void g_string_sprintfa ( GString *string,
                           gchar   *fmt,
                           ... );






  2200..77..  UUttiilliittyy aanndd EErrrroorr FFuunnccttiioonnss



       gchar *g_strdup( const gchar *str );




  Replacement strdup function.  Copies the original strings contents to
  newly allocated memory, and returns a pointer to it.



       gchar *g_strerror( gint errnum );




  I recommend using this for all error messages.  It's much nicer, and
  more portable than perror() or others.  The output is usually of the
  form:



       program name:function that failed:file or further description:strerror




  Here's an example of one such call used in our hello_world program:



       g_print("hello_world:open:%s:%s\n", filename, g_strerror(errno));



       void g_error( gchar *format, ... );




  Prints an error message. The format is just like printf, but it
  prepends "** ERROR **: " to your message, and exits the program.  Use
  only for fatal errors.



       void g_warning( gchar *format, ... );




  Same as above, but prepends "** WARNING **: ", and does not exit the
  program.



       void g_message( gchar *format, ... );




  Prints "message: " prepended to the string you pass in.



       void g_print( gchar *format, ... );




  Replacement for printf().

  And our last function:



       gchar *g_strsignal( gint signum );




  Prints out the name of the Unix system signal given the signal number.
  Useful in generic signal handling functions.

  All of the above are more or less just stolen from glib.h.  If anyone
  cares to document any function, just send me an email!

  GTK has its own way of dealing with application defaults, by using rc
  files. These can be used to set the colors of just about any widget,
  and can also be used to tile pixmaps onto the background of some
  widgets.


  2211..11..  FFuunnccttiioonnss FFoorr rrcc FFiilleess

  When your application starts, you should include a call to:


       void gtk_rc_parse( char *filename );




  Passing in the filename of your rc file. This will cause GTK to parse
  this file, and use the style settings for the widget types defined
  there.

  If you wish to have a special set of widgets that can take on a
  different style from others, or any other logical division of widgets,
  use a call to:



       void gtk_widget_set_name( GtkWidget *widget,
                                 gchar     *name );




  Passing your newly created widget as the first argument, and the name
  you wish to give it as the second. This will allow you to change the
  attributes of this widget by name through the rc file.

  If we use a call something like this:



       button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Special Button");
       gtk_widget_set_name (button, "special button");




  Then this button is given the name "special button" and may be
  addressed by name in the rc file as "special button.GtkButton".  [<---
  Verify ME!]

  The example rc file below, sets the properties of the main window, and
  lets all children of that main window inherit the style described by
  the "main button" style.  The code used in the application is:



       window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
       gtk_widget_set_name (window, "main window");




  And then the style is defined in the rc file using:



       widget "main window.*GtkButton*" style "main_button"




  Which sets all the Button widgets in the "main window" to the
  "main_buttons" style as defined in the rc file.

  As you can see, this is a fairly powerful and flexible system.  Use
  your imagination as to how best to take advantage of this.

  2211..22..  GGTTKK''ss rrcc FFiillee FFoorrmmaatt

  The format of the GTK file is illustrated in the example below. This
  is the testgtkrc file from the GTK distribution, but I've added a few
  comments and things. You may wish to include this explanation in your
  application to allow the user to fine tune his application.

  There are several directives to change the attributes of a widget.


  +o  fg - Sets the foreground color of a widget.

  +o  bg - Sets the background color of a widget.

  +o  bg_pixmap - Sets the background of a widget to a tiled pixmap.

  +o  font - Sets the font to be used with the given widget.

  In addition to this, there are several states a widget can be in, and
  you can set different colors, pixmaps and fonts for each state. These
  states are:


  +o  NORMAL - The normal state of a widget, without the mouse over top
     of it, and not being pressed, etc.

  +o  PRELIGHT - When the mouse is over top of the widget, colors defined
     using this state will be in effect.

  +o  ACTIVE - When the widget is pressed or clicked it will be active,
     and the attributes assigned by this tag will be in effect.

  +o  INSENSITIVE - When a widget is set insensitive, and cannot be
     activated, it will take these attributes.

  +o  SELECTED - When an object is selected, it takes these attributes.

  When using the "fg" and "bg" keywords to set the colors of widgets,
  the format is:



       fg[<STATE>] = { Red, Green, Blue }




  Where STATE is one of the above states (PRELIGHT, ACTIVE, etc), and
  the Red, Green and Blue are values in the range of 0 - 1.0,  { 1.0,
  1.0, 1.0 } being white. They must be in float form, or they will
  register as 0, so a straight "1" will not work, it must be "1.0".  A
  straight "0" is fine because it doesn't matter if it's not recognized.
  Unrecognized values are set to 0.

  bg_pixmap is very similar to the above, except the colors are replaced
  by a filename.

  pixmap_path is a list of paths separated by ":"'s.  These paths will
  be searched for any pixmap you specify.

  The font directive is simply:


       font = "<font name>"


  The only hard part is figuring out the font string. Using xfontsel or
  a similar utility should help.

  The "widget_class" sets the style of a class of widgets. These classes
  are listed in the widget overview on the class hierarchy.

  The "widget" directive sets a specifically named set of widgets to a
  given style, overriding any style set for the given widget class.
  These widgets are registered inside the application using the
  gtk_widget_set_name() call. This allows you to specify the attributes
  of a widget on a per widget basis, rather than setting the attributes
  of an entire widget class. I urge you to document any of these special
  widgets so users may customize them.

  When the keyword parent is used as an attribute, the widget will take
  on the attributes of its parent in the application.

  When defining a style, you may assign the attributes of a previously
  defined style to this new one.



       style "main_button" = "button"
       {
         font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*"
         bg[PRELIGHT] = { 0.75, 0, 0 }
       }




  This example takes the "button" style, and creates a new "main_button"
  style simply by changing the font and prelight background color of the
  "button" style.

  Of course, many of these attributes don't apply to all widgets. It's a
  simple matter of common sense really. Anything that could apply,
  should.

  Although the GTK distribution comes with many types of widgets that
  should cover most basic needs, there may come a time when you need to
  create your own new widget type. Since GTK uses widget inheritance
  extensively, and there is already a widget that is close to what you
  want, it is often possible to make a useful new widget type in just a
  few lines of code. But before starting work on a new widget, check
  around first to make sure that someone has not already written it.
  This will prevent duplication of effort and keep the number of GTK
  widgets out there to a minimum, which will help keep both the code and
  the interface of different applications consistent. As a flip side to
  this, once you finish your widget, announce it to the world so other
  people can benefit. The best place to do this is probably the gtk-
  list.

  Complete sources for the example widgets are available at the place
  you got this tutorial, or from:

  http://www.gtk.org/~otaylor/gtk/tutorial/



  2222..22..  TThhee AAnnaattoommyy OOff AA WWiiddggeett

  In order to create a new widget, it is important to have an
  understanding of how GTK objects work. This section is just meant as a
  brief overview. See the reference documentation for the details.

  GTK widgets are implemented in an object oriented fashion. However,
  they are implemented in standard C. This greatly improves portability
  and stability over using current generation C++ compilers; however, it
  does mean that the widget writer has to pay attention to some of the
  implementation details. The information common to all instances of one
  class of widgets (e.g., to all Button widgets) is stored in the _c_l_a_s_s
  _s_t_r_u_c_t_u_r_e. There is only one copy of this in which is stored
  information about the class's signals (which act like virtual
  functions in C). To support inheritance, the first field in the class
  structure must be a copy of the parent's class structure. The
  declaration of the class structure of GtkButtton looks like:



       struct _GtkButtonClass
       {
         GtkContainerClass parent_class;

         void (* pressed)  (GtkButton *button);
         void (* released) (GtkButton *button);
         void (* clicked)  (GtkButton *button);
         void (* enter)    (GtkButton *button);
         void (* leave)    (GtkButton *button);
       };




  When a button is treated as a container (for instance, when it is
  resized), its class structure can be cast to GtkContainerClass, and
  the relevant fields used to handle the signals.

  There is also a structure for each widget that is created on a per-
  instance basis. This structure has fields to store information that is
  different for each instance of the widget. We'll call this structure
  the _o_b_j_e_c_t _s_t_r_u_c_t_u_r_e. For the Button class, it looks like:



       struct _GtkButton
       {
         GtkContainer container;

         GtkWidget *child;

         guint in_button : 1;
         guint button_down : 1;
       };




  Note that, similar to the class structure, the first field is the
  object structure of the parent class, so that this structure can be
  cast to the parent class' object structure as needed.

  One type of widget that you may be interested in creating is a widget
  that is merely an aggregate of other GTK widgets. This type of widget
  does nothing that couldn't be done without creating new widgets, but
  provides a convenient way of packaging user interface elements for
  reuse. The FileSelection and ColorSelection widgets in the standard
  distribution are examples of this type of widget.

  The example widget that we'll create in this section is the Tictactoe
  widget, a 3x3 array of toggle buttons which triggers a signal when all
  three buttons in a row, column, or on one of the diagonals are
  depressed.


  2222..33..22..  CChhoooossiinngg aa ppaarreenntt ccllaassss

  The parent class for a composite widget is typically the container
  class that holds all of the elements of the composite widget. For
  example, the parent class of the FileSelection widget is the Dialog
  class. Since our buttons will be arranged in a table, it might seem
  natural to make our parent class the Table class. Unfortunately, this
  turns out not to work. The creation of a widget is divided among two
  functions - a WIDGETNAME_new() function that the user calls, and a
  WIDGETNAME_init() function which does the basic work of initializing
  the widget which is independent of the arguments passed to the _new()
  function. Descendant widgets only call the _init function of their
  parent widget. But this division of labor doesn't work well for
  tables, which when created need to know the number of rows and columns
  in the table. Unless we want to duplicate most of the functionality of
  gtk_table_new() in our Tictactoe widget, we had best avoid deriving it
  from Table. For that reason, we derive it from VBox instead, and stick
  our table inside the VBox.


  2222..33..33..  TThhee hheeaaddeerr ffiillee

  Each widget class has a header file which declares the object and
  class structures for that widget, along with public functions.  A
  couple of features are worth pointing out. To prevent duplicate
  definitions, we wrap the entire header file in:

       #ifndef __TICTACTOE_H__
       #define __TICTACTOE_H__
       .
       .
       .
       #endif /* __TICTACTOE_H__ */




  And to keep C++ programs that include the header file happy, in:



       #ifdef __cplusplus
       extern "C" {
       #endif /* __cplusplus */
       .
       .
       .
       #ifdef __cplusplus
       }
       #endif /* __cplusplus */




  Along with the functions and structures, we declare three standard
  macros in our header file, TICTACTOE(obj), TICTACTOE_CLASS(klass), and
  IS_TICTACTOE(obj), which cast a pointer into a pointer to the object
  or class structure, and check if an object is a Tictactoe widget
  respectively.

  Here is the complete header file:
































  /* tictactoe.h */

  #ifndef __TICTACTOE_H__
  #define __TICTACTOE_H__

  #include <gdk/gdk.h>
  #include <gtk/gtkvbox.h>

  #ifdef __cplusplus
  extern "C" {
  #endif /* __cplusplus */

  #define TICTACTOE(obj)          GTK_CHECK_CAST (obj, tictactoe_get_type (), Tictactoe)
  #define TICTACTOE_CLASS(klass)  GTK_CHECK_CLASS_CAST (klass, tictactoe_get_type (), TictactoeClass)
  #define IS_TICTACTOE(obj)       GTK_CHECK_TYPE (obj, tictactoe_get_type ())


  typedef struct _Tictactoe       Tictactoe;
  typedef struct _TictactoeClass  TictactoeClass;

  struct _Tictactoe
  {
    GtkVBox vbox;

    GtkWidget *buttons[3][3];
  };

  struct _TictactoeClass
  {
    GtkVBoxClass parent_class;

    void (* tictactoe) (Tictactoe *ttt);
  };

  guint          tictactoe_get_type        (void);
  GtkWidget*     tictactoe_new             (void);
  void           tictactoe_clear           (Tictactoe *ttt);

  #ifdef __cplusplus
  }
  #endif /* __cplusplus */

  #endif /* __TICTACTOE_H__ */

  We now continue on to the implementation of our widget. A core
  function for every widget is the function WIDGETNAME_get_type(). This
  function, when first called, tells GTK about the widget class, and
  gets an ID that uniquely identifies the widget class. Upon subsequent
  calls, it just returns the ID.











  guint
  tictactoe_get_type ()
  {
    static guint ttt_type = 0;

    if (!ttt_type)
      {
        GtkTypeInfo ttt_info =
        {
          "Tictactoe",
          sizeof (Tictactoe),
          sizeof (TictactoeClass),
          (GtkClassInitFunc) tictactoe_class_init,
          (GtkObjectInitFunc) tictactoe_init,
          (GtkArgSetFunc) NULL,
          (GtkArgGetFunc) NULL
        };

        ttt_type = gtk_type_unique (gtk_vbox_get_type (), &ttt_info);
      }

    return ttt_type;
  }




  The GtkTypeInfo structure has the following definition:



       struct _GtkTypeInfo
       {
         gchar *type_name;
         guint object_size;
         guint class_size;
         GtkClassInitFunc class_init_func;
         GtkObjectInitFunc object_init_func;
         GtkArgSetFunc arg_set_func;
         GtkArgGetFunc arg_get_func;
       };




  The fields of this structure are pretty self-explanatory. We'll ignore
  the arg_set_func and arg_get_func fields here: they have an important,
  but as yet largely unimplemented, role in allowing widget options to
  be conveniently set from interpreted languages. Once GTK has a
  correctly filled in copy of this structure, it knows how to create
  objects of a particular widget type.


  2222..33..55..  TThhee __ccllaassss__iinniitt(())  ffuunnccttiioonn

  The WIDGETNAME_class_init() function initializes the fields of the
  widget's class structure, and sets up any signals for the class. For
  our Tictactoe widget it looks like:








  enum {
    TICTACTOE_SIGNAL,
    LAST_SIGNAL
  };

  static gint tictactoe_signals[LAST_SIGNAL] = { 0 };

  static void
  tictactoe_class_init (TictactoeClass *class)
  {
    GtkObjectClass *object_class;

    object_class = (GtkObjectClass*) class;

    tictactoe_signals[TICTACTOE_SIGNAL] = gtk_signal_new ("tictactoe",
                                           GTK_RUN_FIRST,
                                           object_class->type,
                                           GTK_SIGNAL_OFFSET (TictactoeClass, tictactoe),
                                           gtk_signal_default_marshaller, GTK_TYPE_NONE, 0);


    gtk_object_class_add_signals (object_class, tictactoe_signals, LAST_SIGNAL);

    class->tictactoe = NULL;
  }




  Our widget has just one signal, the tictactoe signal that is invoked
  when a row, column, or diagonal is completely filled in. Not every
  composite widget needs signals, so if you are reading this for the
  first time, you may want to skip to the next section now, as things
  are going to get a bit complicated.

  The function:



       gint gtk_signal_new( const gchar         *name,
                            GtkSignalRunType     run_type,
                            GtkType              object_type,
                            gint                 function_offset,
                            GtkSignalMarshaller  marshaller,
                            GtkType              return_val,
                            guint                nparams,
                            ...);




  Creates a new signal. The parameters are:


  +o  name: The name of the signal.

  +o  run_type: Whether the default handler runs before or after user
     handlers. Usually this will be GTK_RUN_FIRST, or GTK_RUN_LAST,
     although there are other possibilities.

  +o  object_type: The ID of the object that this signal applies to. (It
     will also apply to that objects descendants.)

  +o  function_offset: The offset within the class structure of a pointer
     to the default handler.

  +o  marshaller: A function that is used to invoke the signal handler.
     For signal handlers that have no arguments other than the object
     that emitted the signal and user data, we can use the pre-supplied
     marshaller function gtk_signal_default_marshaller.

  +o  return_val: The type of the return val.

  +o  nparams: The number of parameters of the signal handler (other than
     the two default ones mentioned above)

  +o  ...: The types of the parameters.

  When specifying types, the GtkType enumeration is used:



       typedef enum
       {
         GTK_TYPE_INVALID,
         GTK_TYPE_NONE,
         GTK_TYPE_CHAR,
         GTK_TYPE_BOOL,
         GTK_TYPE_INT,
         GTK_TYPE_UINT,
         GTK_TYPE_LONG,
         GTK_TYPE_ULONG,
         GTK_TYPE_FLOAT,
         GTK_TYPE_DOUBLE,
         GTK_TYPE_STRING,
         GTK_TYPE_ENUM,
         GTK_TYPE_FLAGS,
         GTK_TYPE_BOXED,
         GTK_TYPE_FOREIGN,
         GTK_TYPE_CALLBACK,
         GTK_TYPE_ARGS,

         GTK_TYPE_POINTER,

         /* it'd be great if the next two could be removed eventually */
         GTK_TYPE_SIGNAL,
         GTK_TYPE_C_CALLBACK,

         GTK_TYPE_OBJECT

       } GtkFundamentalType;




  gtk_signal_new() returns a unique integer identifier for the signal,
  that we store in the tictactoe_signals array, which we index using an
  enumeration. (Conventionally, the enumeration elements are the signal
  name, uppercased, but here there would be a conflict with the
  TICTACTOE() macro, so we called it TICTACTOE_SIGNAL instead.

  After creating our signals, we need to tell GTK to associate our
  signals with the Tictactoe class. We do that by calling
  gtk_object_class_add_signals(). We then set the pointer which points
  to the default handler for the "tictactoe" signal to NULL, indicating
  that there is no default action.


  2222..33..66..  TThhee __iinniitt(())  ffuunnccttiioonn..

  Each widget class also needs a function to initialize the object
  structure. Usually, this function has the fairly limited role of
  setting the fields of the structure to default values. For composite
  widgets, however, this function also creates the component widgets.



       static void
       tictactoe_init (Tictactoe *ttt)
       {
         GtkWidget *table;
         gint i,j;

         table = gtk_table_new (3, 3, TRUE);
         gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER(ttt), table);
         gtk_widget_show (table);

         for (i=0;i<3; i++)
           for (j=0;j<3; j++)
             {
               ttt->buttons[i][j] = gtk_toggle_button_new ();
               gtk_table_attach_defaults (GTK_TABLE(table), ttt->buttons[i][j],
                                          i, i+1, j, j+1);
               gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (ttt->buttons[i][j]), "toggled",
                                   GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (tictactoe_toggle), ttt);
               gtk_widget_set_usize (ttt->buttons[i][j], 20, 20);
               gtk_widget_show (ttt->buttons[i][j]);
             }
       }

  There is one more function that every widget (except for base widget
  types like Bin that cannot be instantiated) needs to have - the
  function that the user calls to create an object of that type. This is
  conventionally called WIDGETNAME_new(). In some widgets, though not
  for the Tictactoe widgets, this function takes arguments, and does
  some setup based on the arguments. The other two functions are
  specific to the Tictactoe widget.

  tictactoe_clear() is a public function that resets all the buttons in
  the widget to the up position. Note the use of
  gtk_signal_handler_block_by_data() to keep our signal handler for
  button toggles from being triggered unnecessarily.

  tictactoe_toggle() is the signal handler that is invoked when the user
  clicks on a button. It checks to see if there are any winning
  combinations that involve the toggled button, and if so, emits the
  "tictactoe" signal.

    return GTK_WIDGET ( gtk_type_new (tictactoe_get_type ()));

  {
    int i,j;

    for (i=0;i<3;i++)

        {

          gtk_toggle_button_set_active (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (ttt->buttons[i][j]),
                                       FALSE);
          gtk_signal_handler_unblock_by_data (GTK_OBJECT(ttt->buttons[i][j]), ttt);
        }
  }

  static void
  tictactoe_toggle (GtkWidget *widget, Tictactoe *ttt)
  {
    int i,k;

    static int rwins[8][3] = { { 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 1, 1 }, { 2, 2, 2 },
                               { 0, 1, 2 }, { 0, 1, 2 }, { 0, 1, 2 },

            break;
          }
      }
  }

  void

  In this section, we'll learn more about how widgets display themselves
  on the screen and interact with events. As an example of this, we'll
  create an analog dial widget with a pointer that the user can drag to
  set the value.


  2222..44..22..  DDiissppllaayyiinngg aa wwiiddggeett oonn tthhee ssccrreeeenn

  There are several steps that are involved in displaying on the screen.
  After the widget is created with a call to WIDGETNAME_new(), several
  more functions are needed:



  +o  WIDGETNAME_realize() is responsible for creating an X window for
     the widget if it has one.

  +o  WIDGETNAME_map() is invoked after the user calls gtk_widget_show().
     It is responsible for making sure the widget is actually drawn on
     the screen (_m_a_p_p_e_d). For a container class, it must also make calls
     to map()> functions of any child widgets.

  +o  WIDGETNAME_draw() is invoked when gtk_widget_draw() is called for
     the widget or one of its ancestors. It makes the actual calls to
     the drawing functions to draw the widget on the screen. For
     container widgets, this function must make calls to
     gtk_widget_draw() for its child widgets.

  +o  WIDGETNAME_expose() is a handler for expose events for the widget.
     It makes the necessary calls to the drawing functions to draw the
     exposed portion on the screen. For container widgets, this function
     must generate expose events for its child widgets which don't have
     their own windows. (If they have their own windows, then X will
     generate the necessary expose events.)

  You might notice that the last two functions are quite similar - each
  is responsible for drawing the widget on the screen. In fact many
  types of widgets don't really care about the difference between the
  two. The default draw() function in the widget class simply generates
  a synthetic expose event for the redrawn area. However, some types of
  widgets can save work by distinguishing between the two functions. For
  instance, if a widget has multiple X windows, then since expose events
  identify the exposed window, it can redraw only the affected window,
  which is not possible for calls to draw().

  Container widgets, even if they don't care about the difference for
  themselves, can't simply use the default draw() function because their
  child widgets might care about the difference. However, it would be
  wasteful to duplicate the drawing code between the two functions. The
  convention is that such widgets have a function called
  WIDGETNAME_paint() that does the actual work of drawing the widget,
  that is then called by the draw() and expose() functions.

  In our example approach, since the dial widget is not a container
  widget, and only has a single window, we can take the simplest
  approach and use the default draw() function and only implement an
  expose() function.

  Just as all land animals are just variants on the first amphibian that
  crawled up out of the mud, GTK widgets tend to start off as variants
  of some other, previously written widget. Thus, although this section
  is entitled "Creating a Widget from Scratch", the Dial widget really
  began with the source code for the Range widget. This was picked as a
  starting point because it would be nice if our Dial had the same
  interface as the Scale widgets which are just specialized descendants
  of the Range widget. So, though the source code is presented below in
  finished form, it should not be implied that it was written, _a_b _i_n_i_t_i_o
  in this fashion. Also, if you aren't yet familiar with how scale
  widgets work from the application writer's point of view, it would be
  a good idea to look them over before continuing.

  Quite a bit of our widget should look pretty familiar from the
  Tictactoe widget. First, we have a header file:

  Since there is quite a bit more going on in this widget than the last
  one, we have more fields in the data structure, but otherwise things
  are pretty similar.

  Next, after including header files and declaring a few constants, we
  have some functions to provide information about the widget and
  initialize it:

































  #include <math.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <gtk/gtkmain.h>
  #include <gtk/gtksignal.h>

  #include "gtkdial.h"

    static guint dial_type = 0;

    if (!dial_type)
      {
        GtkTypeInfo dial_info =
        {
          "GtkDial",
          sizeof (GtkDial),
          sizeof (GtkDialClass),
          (GtkClassInitFunc) gtk_dial_class_init,
          (GtkObjectInitFunc) gtk_dial_init,
          (GtkArgSetFunc) NULL,
          (GtkArgGetFunc) NULL,
        };

        dial_type = gtk_type_unique (gtk_widget_get_type (), &dial_info);
      }

    return dial_type;
  }

  static void
  gtk_dial_class_init (GtkDialClass *class)
  {
    GtkObjectClass *object_class;
    GtkWidgetClass *widget_class;

    object_class = (GtkObjectClass*) class;
    widget_class = (GtkWidgetClass*) class;

    parent_class = gtk_type_class (gtk_widget_get_type ());

    object_class->destroy = gtk_dial_destroy;

    widget_class->realize = gtk_dial_realize;
    widget_class->expose_event = gtk_dial_expose;
    widget_class->size_request = gtk_dial_size_request;
    widget_class->size_allocate = gtk_dial_size_allocate;
    widget_class->button_press_event = gtk_dial_button_press;
    widget_class->button_release_event = gtk_dial_button_release;
    widget_class->motion_notify_event = gtk_dial_motion_notify;
  }

  static void

  {

    dial->old_lower = 0.0;
    dial->old_upper = 0.0;
    dial->adjustment = NULL;
  }

  GtkWidget*
  gtk_dial_new (GtkAdjustment *adjustment)
  {
    GtkDial *dial;

    dial = gtk_type_new (gtk_dial_get_type ());

    if (!adjustment)
      adjustment = (GtkAdjustment*) gtk_adjustment_new (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

    gtk_dial_set_adjustment (dial, adjustment);

    if (GTK_OBJECT_CLASS (parent_class)->destroy)
      (* GTK_OBJECT_CLASS (parent_class)->destroy) (object);
  }




  Note that this init() function does less than for the Tictactoe
  widget, since this is not a composite widget, and the new() function
  does more, since it now has an argument. Also, note that when we store
  a pointer to the Adjustment object, we increment its reference count,
  (and correspondingly decrement it when we no longer use it) so that
  GTK can keep track of when it can be safely destroyed.


  Also, there are a few function to manipulate the widget's options:









  GtkAdjustment*
  gtk_dial_get_adjustment (GtkDial *dial)
  {
    g_return_val_if_fail (dial != NULL, NULL);
    g_return_val_if_fail (GTK_IS_DIAL (dial), NULL);

    return dial->adjustment;
  }

  void

    g_return_if_fail (dial != NULL);
    g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_DIAL (dial));

    dial->policy = policy;
  }

  void

    g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_DIAL (dial));

    if (dial->adjustment)
      {
        gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data (GTK_OBJECT (dial->adjustment), (gpointer) dial);
        gtk_object_unref (GTK_OBJECT (dial->adjustment));
      }

    dial->adjustment = adjustment;
    gtk_object_ref (GTK_OBJECT (dial->adjustment));

    gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (adjustment), "changed",

    gtk_dial_update (dial);

  Now we come to some new types of functions. First, we have a function
  that does the work of creating the X window. Notice that a mask is
  passed to the function gdk_window_new() which specifies which fields
  of the GdkWindowAttr structure actually have data in them (the
  remaining fields will be given default values). Also worth noting is
  the way the event mask of the widget is created. We call
  gtk_widget_get_events() to retrieve the event mask that the user has
  specified for this widget (with gtk_widget_set_events()), and add the
  events that we are interested in ourselves.


  After creating the window, we set its style and background, and put a
  pointer to the widget in the user data field of the GdkWindow. This
  last step allows GTK to dispatch events for this window to the correct
  widget.



       static void
       gtk_dial_realize (GtkWidget *widget)
       {
         GtkDial *dial;
         GdkWindowAttr attributes;
         gint attributes_mask;

         g_return_if_fail (widget != NULL);
         g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_DIAL (widget));

         GTK_WIDGET_SET_FLAGS (widget, GTK_REALIZED);
         dial = GTK_DIAL (widget);

         attributes.x = widget->allocation.x;
         attributes.y = widget->allocation.y;
         attributes.width = widget->allocation.width;
         attributes.height = widget->allocation.height;
         attributes.wclass = GDK_INPUT_OUTPUT;
         attributes.window_type = GDK_WINDOW_CHILD;
         attributes.event_mask = gtk_widget_get_events (widget) |
           GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK |
           GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK | GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK |
           GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK;
         attributes.visual = gtk_widget_get_visual (widget);
         attributes.colormap = gtk_widget_get_colormap (widget);

         attributes_mask = GDK_WA_X | GDK_WA_Y | GDK_WA_VISUAL | GDK_WA_COLORMAP;
         widget->window = gdk_window_new (widget->parent->window, &attributes, attributes_mask);

         widget->style = gtk_style_attach (widget->style, widget->window);

         gdk_window_set_user_data (widget->window, widget);

         gtk_style_set_background (widget->style, widget->window, GTK_STATE_ACTIVE);
       }

  Before the first time that the window containing a widget is
  displayed, and whenever the layout of the window changes, GTK asks
  each child widget for its desired size. This request is handled by the
  function gtk_dial_size_request(). Since our widget isn't a container
  widget, and has no real constraints on its size, we just return a
  reasonable default value.



       static void
       gtk_dial_size_request (GtkWidget      *widget,
                              GtkRequisition *requisition)
       {
         requisition->width = DIAL_DEFAULT_SIZE;
         requisition->height = DIAL_DEFAULT_SIZE;
       }

  After all the widgets have requested an ideal size, the layout of the
  window is computed and each child widget is notified of its actual
  size. Usually, this will be at least as large as the requested size,
  but if for instance the user has resized the window, it may
  occasionally be smaller than the requested size. The size notification
  is handled by the function gtk_dial_size_allocate(). Notice that as
  well as computing the sizes of some component pieces for future use,
  this routine also does the grunt work of moving the widget's X window
  into the new position and size.



       static void
       gtk_dial_size_allocate (GtkWidget     *widget,
                               GtkAllocation *allocation)
       {
         GtkDial *dial;

         g_return_if_fail (widget != NULL);
         g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_DIAL (widget));
         g_return_if_fail (allocation != NULL);

         widget->allocation = *allocation;
         if (GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED (widget))
           {
             dial = GTK_DIAL (widget);

             gdk_window_move_resize (widget->window,
                                     allocation->x, allocation->y,
                                     allocation->width, allocation->height);

             dial->radius = MAX(allocation->width,allocation->height) * 0.45;
             dial->pointer_width = dial->radius / 5;
           }
       }

  The rest of the widget's code handles various types of events, and
  isn't too different from what would be found in many GTK applications.
  Two types of events can occur - either the user can click on the
  widget with the mouse and drag to move the pointer, or the value of
  the Adjustment object can change due to some external circumstance.

  When the user clicks on the widget, we check to see if the click was
  appropriately near the pointer, and if so, store the button that the
  user clicked with in the button field of the widget structure, and
  grab all mouse events with a call to gtk_grab_add(). Subsequent motion
  of the mouse causes the value of the control to be recomputed (by the
  function gtk_dial_update_mouse). Depending on the policy that has been
  set, "value_changed" events are either generated instantly
  (GTK_UPDATE_CONTINUOUS), after a delay in a timer added with
  gtk_timeout_add() (GTK_UPDATE_DELAYED), or only when the button is
  released (GTK_UPDATE_DISCONTINUOUS).

              {
                if (dial->timer)
                  gtk_timeout_remove (dial->timer);

                dial->timer = gtk_timeout_add (SCROLL_DELAY_LENGTH,
                                               (GtkFunction) gtk_dial_timer,
                                               (gpointer) dial);
              }
          }
      }
  }




  Changes to the Adjustment by external means are communicated to our
  widget by the "changed" and "value_changed" signals. The handlers for
  these functions call gtk_dial_update() to validate the arguments,
  compute the new pointer angle, and redraw the widget (by calling
  gtk_widget_draw()).










  static void
  gtk_dial_update (GtkDial *dial)
  {
    gfloat new_value;

    g_return_if_fail (dial != NULL);
    g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_DIAL (dial));

    new_value = dial->adjustment->value;

    if (new_value < dial->adjustment->lower)
      new_value = dial->adjustment->lower;

    if (new_value > dial->adjustment->upper)
      new_value = dial->adjustment->upper;

    if (new_value != dial->adjustment->value)
      {
        dial->adjustment->value = new_value;
        gtk_signal_emit_by_name (GTK_OBJECT (dial->adjustment), "value_changed");
      }

    dial->angle = 7.*M_PI/6. - (new_value - dial->adjustment->lower) * 4.*M_PI/3. /
      (dial->adjustment->upper - dial->adjustment->lower);

    gtk_widget_draw (GTK_WIDGET(dial), NULL);
  }

  static void
  gtk_dial_adjustment_changed (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                                gpointer       data)
  {
    GtkDial *dial;

    g_return_if_fail (adjustment != NULL);
    g_return_if_fail (data != NULL);

    dial = GTK_DIAL (data);

    if ((dial->old_value != adjustment->value) ||
        (dial->old_lower != adjustment->lower) ||
        (dial->old_upper != adjustment->upper))
      {
        gtk_dial_update (dial);

        dial->old_value = adjustment->value;
        dial->old_lower = adjustment->lower;
        dial->old_upper = adjustment->upper;
      }
  }

  static void
  gtk_dial_adjustment_value_changed (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                                      gpointer       data)
  {
    GtkDial *dial;

    g_return_if_fail (adjustment != NULL);
    g_return_if_fail (data != NULL);

    dial = GTK_DIAL (data);

    if (dial->old_value != adjustment->value)
      {
        gtk_dial_update (dial);

        dial->old_value = adjustment->value;
      }
  }

  The Dial widget as we've described it so far runs about 670 lines of
  code. Although that might sound like a fair bit, we've really
  accomplished quite a bit with that much code, especially since much of
  that length is headers and boilerplate. However, there are quite a few
  more enhancements that could be made to this widget:


  +o  If you try this widget out, you'll find that there is some flashing
     as the pointer is dragged around. This is because the entire widget
     is erased every time the pointer is moved before being redrawn.
     Often, the best way to handle this problem is to draw to an
     offscreen pixmap, then copy the final results onto the screen in
     one step. (The ProgressBar widget draws itself in this fashion.)

  +o  The user should be able to use the up and down arrow keys to
     increase and decrease the value.

  +o  It would be nice if the widget had buttons to increase and decrease
     the value in small or large steps. Although it would be possible to
     use embedded Button widgets for this, we would also like the
     buttons to auto-repeat when held down, as the arrows on a scrollbar
     do. Most of the code to implement this type of behavior can be
     found in the Range widget.

  +o  The Dial widget could be made into a container widget with a single
     child widget positioned at the bottom between the buttons mentioned
     above. The user could then add their choice of a label or entry
     widget to display the current value of the dial.


  2222..55..  LLeeaarrnniinngg MMoorree

  Only a small part of the many details involved in creating widgets
  could be described above. If you want to write your own widgets, the
  best source of examples is the GTK source itself. Ask yourself some
  questions about the widget you want to write: IS it a Container
  widget? Does it have its own window? Is it a modification of an
  existing widget? Then find a similar widget, and start making changes.
  Good luck!

  In this section, we will build a simple drawing program. In the
  process, we will examine how to handle mouse events, how to draw in a
  window, and how to do drawing better by using a backing pixmap. After
  creating the simple drawing program, we will extend it by adding
  support for XInput devices, such as drawing tablets. GTK provides
  support routines which makes getting extended information, such as
  pressure and tilt, from such devices quite easy.




  2233..22..  EEvveenntt HHaannddlliinngg

  The GTK signals we have already discussed are for high-level actions,
  such as a menu item being selected. However, sometimes it is useful to
  learn about lower-level occurrences, such as the mouse being moved, or
  a key being pressed. There are also GTK signals corresponding to these
  low-level _e_v_e_n_t_s. The handlers for these signals have an extra
  parameter which is a pointer to a structure containing information
  about the event. For instance, motion event handlers are passed a
  pointer to a GdkEventMotion structure which looks (in part) like:



       struct _GdkEventMotion
       {
         GdkEventType type;
         GdkWindow *window;
         guint32 time;
         gdouble x;
         gdouble y;
         ...
         guint state;
         ...
       };




  type will be set to the event type, in this case GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY,
  window is the window in which the event occurred. x and y give the
  coordinates of the event.  state specifies the modifier state when the
  event occurred (that is, it specifies which modifier keys and mouse
  buttons were pressed). It is the bitwise OR of some of the following:



       GDK_SHIFT_MASK
       GDK_LOCK_MASK
       GDK_CONTROL_MASK
       GDK_MOD1_MASK
       GDK_MOD2_MASK
       GDK_MOD3_MASK
       GDK_MOD4_MASK
       GDK_MOD5_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON1_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON2_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON3_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON4_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON5_MASK




  As for other signals, to determine what happens when an event occurs
  we call gtk_signal_connect(). But we also need let GTK know which
  events we want to be notified about. To do this, we call the function:



       void gtk_widget_set_events (GtkWidget *widget,
                                   gint      events);





  The second field specifies the events we are interested in. It is the
  bitwise OR of constants that specify different types of events. For
  future reference the event types are:



       GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK
       GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK
       GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON_MOTION_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON1_MOTION_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON2_MOTION_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON3_MOTION_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK
       GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK
       GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK
       GDK_KEY_RELEASE_MASK
       GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY_MASK
       GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY_MASK
       GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE_MASK
       GDK_STRUCTURE_MASK
       GDK_PROPERTY_CHANGE_MASK
       GDK_PROXIMITY_IN_MASK
       GDK_PROXIMITY_OUT_MASK




  There are a few subtle points that have to be observed when calling
  gtk_widget_set_events(). First, it must be called before the X window
  for a GTK widget is created. In practical terms, this means you should
  call it immediately after creating the widget. Second, the widget must
  have an associated X window. For efficiency, many widget types do not
  have their own window, but draw in their parent's window.  These
  widgets are:



       GtkAlignment
       GtkArrow
       GtkBin
       GtkBox
       GtkImage
       GtkItem
       GtkLabel
       GtkPixmap
       GtkScrolledWindow
       GtkSeparator
       GtkTable
       GtkAspectFrame
       GtkFrame
       GtkVBox
       GtkHBox
       GtkVSeparator
       GtkHSeparator




  To capture events for these widgets, you need to use an EventBox
  widget. See the section on the ``EventBox'' widget for details.

  For our drawing program, we want to know when the mouse button is
  pressed and when the mouse is moved, so we specify
  GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK and GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK. We also want to
  know when we need to redraw our window, so we specify
  GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK. Although we want to be notified via a Configure
  event when our window size changes, we don't have to specify the
  corresponding GDK_STRUCTURE_MASK flag, because it is automatically
  specified for all windows.

  It turns out, however, that there is a problem with just specifying
  GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK. This will cause the server to add a new
  motion event to the event queue every time the user moves the mouse.
  Imagine that it takes us 0.1 seconds to handle a motion event, but the
  X server queues a new motion event every 0.05 seconds. We will soon
  get way behind the users drawing. If the user draws for 5 seconds, it
  will take us another 5 seconds to catch up after they release the
  mouse button! What we would like is to only get one motion event for
  each event we process. The way to do this is to specify
  GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK.

  When we specify GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK, the server sends us a
  motion event the first time the pointer moves after entering our
  window, or after a button press or release event. Subsequent motion
  events will be suppressed until we explicitly ask for the position of
  the pointer using the function:



       GdkWindow*    gdk_window_get_pointer     (GdkWindow       *window,
                                                 gint            *x,
                                                 gint            *y,
                                                 GdkModifierType *mask);




  (There is another function, gtk_widget_get_pointer() which has a
  simpler interface, but turns out not to be very useful, since it only
  retrieves the position of the mouse, not whether the buttons are
  pressed.)

  The code to set the events for our window then looks like:



         gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (drawing_area), "expose_event",
                             (GtkSignalFunc) expose_event, NULL);
         gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT(drawing_area),"configure_event",
                             (GtkSignalFunc) configure_event, NULL);
         gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (drawing_area), "motion_notify_event",
                             (GtkSignalFunc) motion_notify_event, NULL);
         gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (drawing_area), "button_press_event",
                             (GtkSignalFunc) button_press_event, NULL);

         gtk_widget_set_events (drawing_area, GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK
                                | GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY_MASK
                                | GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK
                                | GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK
                                | GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK);




  We'll save the "expose_event" and "configure_event" handlers for
  later. The "motion_notify_event" and "button_press_event" handlers are
  pretty simple:




  static gint
  button_press_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event)
  {
    if (event->button == 1 && pixmap != NULL)
        draw_brush (widget, event->x, event->y);

    return TRUE;
  }

  static gint
  motion_notify_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventMotion *event)
  {
    int x, y;
    GdkModifierType state;

    if (event->is_hint)
      gdk_window_get_pointer (event->window, &x, &y, &state);
    else
      {
        x = event->x;
        y = event->y;
        state = event->state;
      }

    if (state & GDK_BUTTON1_MASK && pixmap != NULL)
      draw_brush (widget, x, y);

    return TRUE;
  }





  2233..33..  TThhee DDrraawwiinnggAArreeaa WWiiddggeett,, AAnndd DDrraawwiinngg

  We now turn to the process of drawing on the screen. The widget we use
  for this is the DrawingArea widget. A drawing area widget is
  essentially an X window and nothing more. It is a blank canvas in
  which we can draw whatever we like. A drawing area is created using
  the call:



       GtkWidget* gtk_drawing_area_new        (void);




  A default size for the widget can be specified by calling:



       void       gtk_drawing_area_size       (GtkDrawingArea      *darea,
                                               gint                 width,
                                               gint                 height);




  This default size can be overridden, as is true for all widgets, by
  calling gtk_widget_set_usize(), and that, in turn, can be overridden
  if the user manually resizes the the window containing the drawing
  area.


  It should be noted that when we create a DrawingArea widget, we are
  _c_o_m_p_l_e_t_e_l_y responsible for drawing the contents. If our window is
  obscured then uncovered, we get an exposure event and must redraw what
  was previously hidden.

  Having to remember everything that was drawn on the screen so we can
  properly redraw it can, to say the least, be a nuisance. In addition,
  it can be visually distracting if portions of the window are cleared,
  then redrawn step by step. The solution to this problem is to use an
  offscreen _b_a_c_k_i_n_g _p_i_x_m_a_p.  Instead of drawing directly to the screen,
  we draw to an image stored in server memory but not displayed, then
  when the image changes or new portions of the image are displayed, we
  copy the relevant portions onto the screen.

  To create an offscreen pixmap, we call the function:



       GdkPixmap* gdk_pixmap_new               (GdkWindow  *window,
                                                gint        width,
                                                gint        height,
                                                gint        depth);




  The window parameter specifies a GDK window that this pixmap takes
  some of its properties from. width and height specify the size of the
  pixmap. depth specifies the _c_o_l_o_r _d_e_p_t_h, that is the number of bits
  per pixel, for the new window.  If the depth is specified as -1, it
  will match the depth of window.

  We create the pixmap in our "configure_event" handler. This event is
  generated whenever the window changes size, including when it is
  originally created.



       /* Backing pixmap for drawing area */
       static GdkPixmap *pixmap = NULL;

       /* Create a new backing pixmap of the appropriate size */
       static gint
       configure_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventConfigure *event)
       {
         if (pixmap)
           gdk_pixmap_unref(pixmap);

         pixmap = gdk_pixmap_new(widget->window,
                                 widget->allocation.width,
                                 widget->allocation.height,
                                 -1);
         gdk_draw_rectangle (pixmap,
                             widget->style->white_gc,
                             TRUE,
                             0, 0,
                             widget->allocation.width,
                             widget->allocation.height);

         return TRUE;
       }





  The call to gdk_draw_rectangle() clears the pixmap initially to white.
  We'll say more about that in a moment.

  Our exposure event handler then simply copies the relevant portion of
  the pixmap onto the screen (we determine the area we need to redraw by
  using the event->area field of the exposure event):



       /* Redraw the screen from the backing pixmap */
       static gint
       expose_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventExpose *event)
       {
         gdk_draw_pixmap(widget->window,
                         widget->style->fg_gc[GTK_WIDGET_STATE (widget)],
                         pixmap,
                         event->area.x, event->area.y,
                         event->area.x, event->area.y,
                         event->area.width, event->area.height);

         return FALSE;
       }




  We've now seen how to keep the screen up to date with our pixmap, but
  how do we actually draw interesting stuff on our pixmap?  There are a
  large number of calls in GTK's GDK library for drawing on _d_r_a_w_a_b_l_e_s. A
  drawable is simply something that can be drawn upon. It can be a
  window, a pixmap, or a bitmap (a black and white image).  We've
  already seen two such calls above, gdk_draw_rectangle() and
  gdk_draw_pixmap(). The complete list is:



       gdk_draw_line ()
       gdk_draw_rectangle ()
       gdk_draw_arc ()
       gdk_draw_polygon ()
       gdk_draw_string ()
       gdk_draw_text ()
       gdk_draw_pixmap ()
       gdk_draw_bitmap ()
       gdk_draw_image ()
       gdk_draw_points ()
       gdk_draw_segments ()




  See the reference documentation or the header file <gdk/gdk.h> for
  further details on these functions.  These functions all share the
  same first two arguments. The first argument is the drawable to draw
  upon, the second argument is a _g_r_a_p_h_i_c_s _c_o_n_t_e_x_t (GC).

  A graphics context encapsulates information about things such as
  foreground and background color and line width. GDK has a full set of
  functions for creating and modifying graphics contexts, but to keep
  things simple we'll just use predefined graphics contexts. Each widget
  has an associated style. (Which can be modified in a gtkrc file, see
  the section GTK's rc file.) This, among other things, stores a number
  of graphics contexts. Some examples of accessing these graphics
  contexts are:


       widget->style->white_gc
       widget->style->black_gc
       widget->style->fg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL]
       widget->style->bg_gc[GTK_WIDGET_STATE(widget)]




  The fields fg_gc, bg_gc, dark_gc, and light_gc are indexed by a
  parameter of type GtkStateType which can take on the values:



       GTK_STATE_NORMAL,
       GTK_STATE_ACTIVE,
       GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT,
       GTK_STATE_SELECTED,
       GTK_STATE_INSENSITIVE




  For instance, for GTK_STATE_SELECTED the default foreground color is
  white and the default background color, dark blue.

  Our function draw_brush(), which does the actual drawing on the
  screen, is then:



       /* Draw a rectangle on the screen */
       static void
       draw_brush (GtkWidget *widget, gdouble x, gdouble y)
       {
         GdkRectangle update_rect;

         update_rect.x = x - 5;
         update_rect.y = y - 5;
         update_rect.width = 10;
         update_rect.height = 10;
         gdk_draw_rectangle (pixmap,
                             widget->style->black_gc,
                             TRUE,
                             update_rect.x, update_rect.y,
                             update_rect.width, update_rect.height);
         gtk_widget_draw (widget, &update_rect);
       }




  After we draw the rectangle representing the brush onto the pixmap, we
  call the function:



       void       gtk_widget_draw                (GtkWidget           *widget,
                                                  GdkRectangle        *area);




  which notifies X that the area given by the area parameter needs to be
  updated. X will eventually generate an expose event (possibly
  combining the areas passed in several calls to gtk_widget_draw())
  which will cause our expose event handler to copy the relevant
  portions to the screen.

  We have now covered the entire drawing program except for a few
  mundane details like creating the main window.

  It is now possible to buy quite inexpensive input devices such as
  drawing tablets, which allow drawing with a much greater ease of
  artistic expression than does a mouse. The simplest way to use such
  devices is simply as a replacement for the mouse, but that misses out
  many of the advantages of these devices, such as:


  +o  Pressure sensitivity

  +o  Tilt reporting

  +o  Sub-pixel positioning

  +o  Multiple inputs (for example, a stylus with a point and eraser)

  For information about the XInput extension, see the XInput-HOWTO.

  If we examine the full definition of, for example, the GdkEventMotion
  structure, we see that it has fields to support extended device
  information.



       struct _GdkEventMotion
       {
         GdkEventType type;
         GdkWindow *window;
         guint32 time;
         gdouble x;
         gdouble y;
         gdouble pressure;
         gdouble xtilt;
         gdouble ytilt;
         guint state;
         gint16 is_hint;
         GdkInputSource source;
         guint32 deviceid;
       };




  pressure gives the pressure as a floating point number between 0 and
  1. xtilt and ytilt can take on values between -1 and 1, corresponding
  to the degree of tilt in each direction.  source and deviceid specify
  the device for which the event occurred in two different ways. source
  gives some simple information about the type of device. It can take
  the enumeration values:



       GDK_SOURCE_MOUSE
       GDK_SOURCE_PEN
       GDK_SOURCE_ERASER
       GDK_SOURCE_CURSOR



  deviceid specifies a unique numeric ID for the device. This can be
  used to find out further information about the device using the
  gdk_input_list_devices() call (see below). The special value
  GDK_CORE_POINTER is used for the core pointer device. (Usually the
  mouse.)

  To let GTK know about our interest in the extended device information,
  we merely have to add a single line to our program:



       gtk_widget_set_extension_events (drawing_area, GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_CURSOR);




  By giving the value GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_CURSOR we say that we are
  interested in extension events, but only if we don't have to draw our
  own cursor. See the section ``Further Sophistications'' below for more
  information about drawing the cursor. We could also give the values
  GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_ALL if we were willing to draw our own cursor, or
  GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_NONE to revert back to the default condition.

  This is not completely the end of the story however. By default, no
  extension devices are enabled. We need a mechanism to allow users to
  enable and configure their extension devices. GTK provides the
  InputDialog widget to automate this process. The following procedure
  manages an InputDialog widget. It creates the dialog if it isn't
  present, and raises it to the top otherwise.


































  void
  input_dialog_destroy (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)
  {
    *((GtkWidget **)data) = NULL;
  }

  void
  create_input_dialog ()
  {
    static GtkWidget *inputd = NULL;

    if (!inputd)
      {
        inputd = gtk_input_dialog_new();

        gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT(inputd), "destroy",
                            (GtkSignalFunc)input_dialog_destroy, &inputd);
        gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT(GTK_INPUT_DIALOG(inputd)->close_button),
                                   "clicked",
                                   (GtkSignalFunc)gtk_widget_hide,
                                   GTK_OBJECT(inputd));
        gtk_widget_hide ( GTK_INPUT_DIALOG(inputd)->save_button);

        gtk_widget_show (inputd);
      }
    else
      {
        if (!GTK_WIDGET_MAPPED(inputd))
          gtk_widget_show(inputd);
        else
          gdk_window_raise(inputd->window);
      }
  }




  (You might want to take note of the way we handle this dialog.  By
  connecting to the "destroy" signal, we make sure that we don't keep a
  pointer to dialog around after it is destroyed - that could lead to a
  segfault.)

  The InputDialog has two buttons "Close" and "Save", which by default
  have no actions assigned to them. In the above function we make
  "Close" hide the dialog, hide the "Save" button, since we don't
  implement saving of XInput options in this program.


  2233..44..22..  UUssiinngg eexxtteennddeedd ddeevviiccee iinnffoorrmmaattiioonn

  Once we've enabled the device, we can just use the extended device
  information in the extra fields of the event structures.  In fact, it
  is always safe to use this information since these fields will have
  reasonable default values even when extended events are not enabled.

  Once change we do have to make is to call
  gdk_input_window_get_pointer() instead of gdk_window_get_pointer. This
  is necessary because gdk_window_get_pointer doesn't return the
  extended device information.







  void gdk_input_window_get_pointer( GdkWindow       *window,
                                     guint32         deviceid,
                                     gdouble         *x,
                                     gdouble         *y,
                                     gdouble         *pressure,
                                     gdouble         *xtilt,
                                     gdouble         *ytilt,
                                     GdkModifierType *mask);




  When calling this function, we need to specify the device ID as well
  as the window. Usually, we'll get the device ID from the deviceid
  field of an event structure. Again, this function will return
  reasonable values when extension events are not enabled. (In this
  case, event->deviceid will have the value GDK_CORE_POINTER).

  So the basic structure of our button-press and motion event handlers
  doesn't change much - we just need to add code to deal with the
  extended information.



       static gint
       button_press_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event)
       {
         print_button_press (event->deviceid);

         if (event->button == 1 && pixmap != NULL)
           draw_brush (widget, event->source, event->x, event->y, event->pressure);

         return TRUE;
       }

       static gint
       motion_notify_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventMotion *event)
       {
         gdouble x, y;
         gdouble pressure;
         GdkModifierType state;

         if (event->is_hint)
           gdk_input_window_get_pointer (event->window, event->deviceid,
                                         &x, &y, &pressure, NULL, NULL, &state);
         else
           {
             x = event->x;
             y = event->y;
             pressure = event->pressure;
             state = event->state;
           }

         if (state & GDK_BUTTON1_MASK && pixmap != NULL)
           draw_brush (widget, event->source, x, y, pressure);

         return TRUE;
       }




  We also need to do something with the new information. Our new
  draw_brush() function draws with a different color for each
  event->source and changes the brush size depending on the pressure.

       /* Draw a rectangle on the screen, size depending on pressure,
          and color on the type of device */
       static void
       draw_brush (GtkWidget *widget, GdkInputSource source,
                   gdouble x, gdouble y, gdouble pressure)
       {
         GdkGC *gc;
         GdkRectangle update_rect;

         switch (source)
           {
           case GDK_SOURCE_MOUSE:
             gc = widget->style->dark_gc[GTK_WIDGET_STATE (widget)];
             break;
           case GDK_SOURCE_PEN:
             gc = widget->style->black_gc;
             break;
           case GDK_SOURCE_ERASER:
             gc = widget->style->white_gc;
             break;
           default:
             gc = widget->style->light_gc[GTK_WIDGET_STATE (widget)];
           }

         update_rect.x = x - 10 * pressure;
         update_rect.y = y - 10 * pressure;
         update_rect.width = 20 * pressure;
         update_rect.height = 20 * pressure;
         gdk_draw_rectangle (pixmap, gc, TRUE,
                             update_rect.x, update_rect.y,
                             update_rect.width, update_rect.height);
         gtk_widget_draw (widget, &update_rect);
       }

  As an example of how to find out more about a device, our program will
  print the name of the device that generates each button press. To find
  out the name of a device, we call the function:



       GList *gdk_input_list_devices               (void);




  which returns a GList (a linked list type from the GLib library) of
  GdkDeviceInfo structures. The GdkDeviceInfo structure is defined as:













  struct _GdkDeviceInfo
  {
    guint32 deviceid;
    gchar *name;
    GdkInputSource source;
    GdkInputMode mode;
    gint has_cursor;
    gint num_axes;
    GdkAxisUse *axes;
    gint num_keys;
    GdkDeviceKey *keys;
  };




  Most of these fields are configuration information that you can ignore
  unless you are implementing XInput configuration saving. The fieldwe
  are interested in here is name which is simply the name that X assigns
  to the device. The other field that isn't configuration information is
  has_cursor. If has_cursor is false, then we we need to draw our own
  cursor. But since we've specified GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_CURSOR, we
  don't have to worry about this.

  Our print_button_press() function simply iterates through the returned
  list until it finds a match, then prints out the name of the device.



       static void
       print_button_press (guint32 deviceid)
       {
         GList *tmp_list;

         /* gdk_input_list_devices returns an internal list, so we shouldn't
            free it afterwards */
         tmp_list = gdk_input_list_devices();

         while (tmp_list)
           {
             GdkDeviceInfo *info = (GdkDeviceInfo *)tmp_list->data;

             if (info->deviceid == deviceid)
               {
                 printf("Button press on device '%s'\n", info->name);
                 return;
               }

             tmp_list = tmp_list->next;
           }
       }




  That completes the changes to "XInputize" our program.


  2233..44..44..  FFuurrtthheerr ssoopphhiissttiiccaattiioonnss

  Although our program now supports XInput quite well, it lacks some
  features we would want in a full-featured application. First, the user
  probably doesn't want to have to configure their device each time they
  run the program, so we should allow them to save the device
  configuration. This is done by iterating through the return of
  gdk_input_list_devices() and writing out the configuration to a file.
  To restore the state next time the program is run, GDK provides
  functions to change device configuration:



       gdk_input_set_extension_events()
       gdk_input_set_source()
       gdk_input_set_mode()
       gdk_input_set_axes()
       gdk_input_set_key()




  (The list returned from gdk_input_list_devices() should not be
  modified directly.) An example of doing this can be found in the
  drawing program gsumi. (Available from
  http://www.msc.cornell.edu/~otaylor/gsumi/) Eventually, it would be
  nice to have a standard way of doing this for all applications. This
  probably belongs at a slightly higher level than GTK, perhaps in the
  GNOME library.

  Another major omission that we have mentioned above is the lack of
  cursor drawing. Platforms other than XFree86 currently do not allow
  simultaneously using a device as both the core pointer and directly by
  an application. See the XInput-HOWTO
  <http://www.msc.cornell.edu/~otaylor/xinput/XInput-HOWTO.html> for
  more information about this. This means that applications that want to
  support the widest audience need to draw their own cursor.

  An application that draws its own cursor needs to do two things:
  determine if the current device needs a cursor drawn or not, and
  determine if the current device is in proximity. (If the current
  device is a drawing tablet, it's a nice touch to make the cursor
  disappear when the stylus is lifted from the tablet. When the device
  is touching the stylus, that is called "in proximity.") The first is
  done by searching the device list, as we did to find out the device
  name. The second is achieved by selecting "proximity_out" events. An
  example of drawing one's own cursor is found in the "testinput"
  program found in the GTK distribution.

  This section is simply a gathering of wisdom, general style guidelines
  and hints to creating good GTK applications. Currently this section is
  very short, but I hope it will get longer in future editions of this
  tutorial.

  Use GNU autoconf and automake! They are your friends :) Automake
  examines C files, determines how they depend on each other, and
  generates a Makefile so the files can be compiled in the correct
  order. Autoconf permits automatic configuration of software
  installation, handling a large number of system quirks to increase
  portability. I am planning to make a quick intro on them here.

  When writing C code, use only C comments (beginning with "/*" and
  ending with "*/"), and don't use C++-style comments ("//").  Although
  many C compilers understand C++ comments, others don't, and the ANSI C
  standard does not require that C++-style comments be processed as
  comments.

  The data type GdkEventType is a special data type that is used by all
  the other data types as an indicator of the data type being passed to
  the signal handler. As you will see below, each of the event data
  structures has a member of this type. It is defined as an enumeration
  type as follows:













  typedef enum

  NOTE: The List widget has been superseded by the CList widget. It is
  detailed here just for completeness.

  The List widget is designed to act as a vertical container for widgets
  that should be of the type ListItem.

  A List widget has its own window to receive events and its own
  background color which is usually white. As it is directly derived
  from a Container it can be treated as such by using the
  GTK_CONTAINER(List) macro, see the Container widget for more on this.
  One should already be familiar with the usage of a GList and its
  related functions g_list_*() to be able to use the List widget to it
  full extent.

  There is one field inside the structure definition of the List widget
  that will be of greater interest to us, this is:



       struct _GtkList
       {
         ...
         GList *selection;
         guint selection_mode;
         ...
       };




  The selection field of a List points to a linked list of all items
  that are currently selected, or NULL if the selection is empty.  So to
  learn about the current selection we read the GTK_LIST()->selection
  field, but do not modify it since the internal fields are maintained
  by the gtk_list_*() functions.

  The selection_mode of the List determines the selection facilities of
  a List and therefore the contents of the GTK_LIST()->selection field.
  The selection_mode may be one of the following:


  +o  GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE - The selection is either NULL or contains a
     GList pointer for a single selected item.

  +o  GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE -  The selection is NULL if the list contains
     no widgets or insensitive ones only, otherwise it contains a GList
     pointer for one GList structure, and therefore exactly one list
     item.

  +o  GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE -  The selection is NULL if no list items
     are selected or a GList pointer for the first selected item. That
     in turn points to a GList structure for the second selected item
     and so on.

  +o  GTK_SELECTION_EXTENDED - The selection is always NULL.

  The default is GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE.

       void selection_changed( GtkList *list );




  This signal will be invoked whenever the selection field of a List has
  changed. This happens when a child of thekList got selected or
  deselected.



       void select_child( GtkList   *list,
                          GtkWidget *child);




  This signal is invoked when a child of the List is about to get
  selected. This happens mainly on calls to gtk_list_select_item(),
  gtk_list_select_child(), button presses and sometimes indirectly
  triggered on some else occasions where children get added to or
  removed from the List.



       void unselect_child( GtkList   *list,
                            GtkWidget *child );




  This signal is invoked when a child of the List is about to get
  deselected. This happens mainly on calls to gtk_list_unselect_item(),
  gtk_list_unselect_child(), button presses and sometimes indirectly
  triggered on some else occasions where children get added to or
  removed from the List.


  AAEE..22..  FFuunnccttiioonnss



       guint gtk_list_get_type( void );




  Returns the "GtkList" type identifier.



       GtkWidget *gtk_list_new( void );





  Create a new List object. The new widget is returned as a pointer to a
  GtkWidget object. NULL is returned on failure.



       void gtk_list_insert_items( GtkList *list,
                                   GList   *items,
                                   gint     position );




  Insert list items into the list, starting at position.  items is a
  doubly linked list where each nodes data pointer is expected to point
  to a newly created ListItem. The GList nodes of items are taken over
  by the list.



       void gtk_list_append_items( GtkList *list,
                                   GList   *items);




  Insert list items just like gtk_list_insert_items() at the end of the
  list. The GList nodes of items are taken over by the list.



       void gtk_list_prepend_items( GtkList *list,
                                    GList   *items);




  Insert list items just like gtk_list_insert_items() at the very
  beginning of the list. The GList nodes of items are taken over by the
  list.



       void gtk_list_remove_items( GtkList *list,
                                   GList   *items);




  Remove list items from the list. items is a doubly linked list where
  each nodes data pointer is expected to point to a direct child of
  list. It is the callers responsibility to make a call to
  g_list_free(items) afterwards. Also the caller has to destroy the list
  items himself.



       void gtk_list_clear_items( GtkList *list,
                                  gint start,
                                  gint end );




  Remove and destroy list items from the list. A widget is affected if
  its current position within the list is in the range specified by
  start and end.
       void gtk_list_select_item( GtkList *list,
                                  gint     item );




  Invoke the select_child signal for a list item specified through its
  current position within the list.



       void gtk_list_unselect_item( GtkList *list,
                                    gint     item);




  Invoke the unselect_child signal for a list item specified through its
  current position within the list.



       void gtk_list_select_child( GtkList *list,
                                   GtkWidget *child);




  Invoke the select_child signal for the specified child.



       void gtk_list_unselect_child( GtkList   *list,
                                     GtkWidget *child);




  Invoke the unselect_child signal for the specified child.



       gint gtk_list_child_position( GtkList *list,
                                     GtkWidget *child);




  Return the position of child within the list. "-1" is returned on
  failure.



       void gtk_list_set_selection_mode( GtkList         *list,
                                         GtkSelectionMode mode );




  Set the selection mode MODE which can be of GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE,
  GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE, GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE or
  GTK_SELECTION_EXTENDED.




  GtkList *GTK_LIST( gpointer obj );




  Cast a generic pointer to "GtkList *".



       GtkListClass *GTK_LIST_CLASS( gpointer class);




  Cast a generic pointer to "GtkListClass *".



       gint GTK_IS_LIST( gpointer obj);




  Determine if a generic pointer refers to a "GtkList" object.

  The ListItem widget is designed to act as a container holding up to
  one child, providing functions for selection/deselection just like the
  List widget requires them for its children.

  A ListItem has its own window to receive events and has its own
  background color which is usually white.

  As it is directly derived from an Item it can be treated as such by
  using the GTK_ITEM(ListItem) macro, see the Item widget for more on
  this. Usually a ListItem just holds a label to identify, e.g., a
  filename within a List -- therefore the convenience function
  gtk_list_item_new_with_label() is provided. The same effect can be
  achieved by creating a Label on its own, setting its alignment to
  xalign=0 and yalign=0.5 with a subsequent container addition to the
  ListItem.

  As one is not forced to add a GtkLabel to a GtkListItem, you could
  also add a GtkVBox or a GtkArrow etc. to the GtkListItem.


  AAEE..55..  SSiiggnnaallss

  AkListItem does not create new signals on its own, but inherits the
  signals of a Item.

       guint gtk_list_item_get_type( void );




  Returns the "GtkListItem" type identifier.



       GtkWidget *gtk_list_item_new( void );




  Create a new ListItem object. The new widget is returned as a pointer
  to a GtkWidget object. NULL is returned on failure.
       GtkWidget *gtk_list_item_new_with_label( gchar *label );




  Create a new ListItem object, having a single GtkLabel as the sole
  child. The new widget is returned as a pointer to a GtkWidget object.
  NULL is returned on failure.



       void gtk_list_item_select( GtkListItem *list_item );
