NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

use Gtk2::Ex::AdjustmentBits;

FUNCTIONS

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::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.
