NAME

Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits -- helpers for Gtk2::Adjustment objects

SYNOPSIS

use Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits;

FUNCTIONS

Scroll

Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::scroll_value ($adj, $amount)

Add $amount to the value in $adj, restricting the result to between lower and upper - page, as suitable for a scrollbar range etc.

Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::scroll_increment ($adj, $inctype)

Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::scroll_increment ($adj, $inctype, $inverted)

Increment the value in $adj. $inctype (a string) can be either

"step"         increment by step_increment()
"page"         increment by page_increment()

If optional parameter $inverted is true then decrement instead of increment. The scroll is applied per scroll_value() above.

$propagate = Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::scroll_event ($adj, $event)

$propagate = Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::scroll_event ($adj, $event, $inverted)

Scroll $adj according to $event, a Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Scroll.

$event->direction() gives the direction

"up"          decrement
"left"        decrement
"down"        increment
"right"       increment

If the control key is held down (control-mask in $event->state()) then the scroll amount is page_increment rather than step_increment.

If optional parameter $inverted is true then increment/decrement are swapped, so up+left are increment and down+right are decrement.

The return value is Gtk2::EVENT_PROPAGATE which may be convenient if called from a widget scroll-event signal handler.

The increment direction corresponds to an adjustment used in a Gtk2::ScrollBar (and its inverted property), and similar such widgets.

Other

Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::set_maybe ($adjustment, field => $value, ...)

Set fields in $adjustment, with changed and notify signals emitted if the values are different from what's already there. The fields are

value
upper
lower
page_size
page_increment
step_increment

For example

Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::set_maybe
       ($adjustment, upper => 100.0,
                     lower => 0.0,
                     value => 50.0);

The plain field getter/setters like $adjustment->upper() don't emit any signals, and the object $adjustment->set only emits notify (or changed too in Gtk 2.18 or thereabouts). set_maybe takes care of all necessary signals and does them only after storing all the values and only if actually changed.

Not emitting signals when values are unchanged may save some work in widgets controlled by $adjustment, though a good widget might notice unchanged values itself.

Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits::set_empty ($adj)

Make $adj empty by setting its upper, lower, and all values to 0. This is done with set_maybe() above, so if it's already empty no changed etc signals are emitted.
