NAME

       Gtk2::CellLayout - wrapper for GtkCellLayout

SYNOPSIS

        # This is an abstract interface; the CellLayout interface is
        # implemented by concrete classes like ComboBox and TreeViewColumn.
        # See the discussion for details on creating your own CellLayout.
        # This synopsis assumes you already have an instance in $cell_layout.

        # Add a cell renderer that shows the pixbuf in column 2 of the
        # associated TreeModel.  It will take up only the necessary space
        # ("expand" => FALSE).
        my $cell = Gtk2::CellRendererPixbuf->new ();
        $cell_layout->pack_start ($cell, FALSE);
        $cell_layout->add_attribute ($cell, pixbuf => 2);

        # Add another cell renderer that gets the "text" property from
        # column 3 of the associated TreeModel, and takes up all remaining
        # horizontal space ("expand" => TRUE).
        my $cell = Gtk2::CellRendererText->new ();
        $cell_layout->pack_start ($cell, TRUE);
        $cell_layout->add_attribute ($cell, text => 3);

DESCRIPTION

       Gtk2::CellLayout is an interface to be implemented by all objects which want to provide a
       Gtk2::TreeViewColumn-like API for packing cells, setting attributes and data funcs.

HIERARCHY

         Glib::Interface
         +----Gtk2::CellLayout

METHODS

   $cell_layout->add_attribute ($cell, $attribute, $column)
       •   $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer)

       •   $attribute (string)

       •   $column (integer)

       Adds an attribute mapping to the list in $cell_layout.  The $column is the column of the
       model from which to get a value, and the $attribute is the property of $cell to be set
       from the value.  So, for example, if column 2 of the model contains strings, you could
       have the "text" attribute of a Gtk2::CellRendererText get its values from column 2.

   $cell_layout->set_attributes ($cell, ...)
       •   $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer)

       •   ... (list) list of property name and column number pairs.

       Sets the pairs in the ... list as the attributes of $cell_layout, as with repeated calls
       to "add_attribute".  All existing attributes are removed, and replaced with the new
       attributes.

   $cell_layout->set_cell_data_func ($cell, $func, $func_data=undef)
       •   $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer)

       •   $func (scalar)

       •   $func_data (scalar)

       Sets up $cell_layout to call $func to set up attributes of $cell, instead of the standard
       attribute mapping.  $func may be undef to remove an older callback.  $func will receive
       these parameters:

       $cell_layout  The cell layout instance
       $cell         The cell renderer to set up
       $model        The tree model
       $iter         TreeIter of the row for which to set the values
       $data         The $func_data passed to "set_cell_data_func"

   list = $cell_layout->get_cells
       Fetch all of the cell renderers which have been added to $cell_layout.

       Note that if there are no cells this functions returns 'undef' instead of an empty list.

       Since: gtk+ 2.12

   $cell_layout->clear
       Unsets all the mappings on all renderers on $cell_layout and removes all renderers
       attached to it.

   $cell_layout->clear_attributes ($cell)
       •   $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer)

       Clears all existing attributes previously set with for $cell with "add_attribute" or
       "set_attributes".

   $cell_layout->pack_end ($cell, $expand)
       •   $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer)

       •   $expand (boolean)

       Like "pack_start", but adds from the end of the layout instead of the beginning.

   $cell_layout->pack_start ($cell, $expand)
       •   $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer)

       •   $expand (boolean)

       Packs $cell into the beginning of $cell_layout.  If $expand is false, then $cell is
       allocated no more space than it needs.  Any unused space is divided evenly between cells
       for which $expand is true.

   $cell_layout->reorder ($cell, $position)
       •   $cell (Gtk2::CellRenderer)

       •   $position (integer)

       Re-insert $cell at $position.  $cell must already be packed into $cell_layout.

CREATING A CUSTOM CELL LAYOUT

       GTK+ provides several CellLayout implementations, such as Gtk2::TreeViewColumn and
       Gtk2::ComboBox.  To create your own object that implements the CellLayout interface and
       therefore can be used to display CellRenderers, you need to add Gtk2::CellLayout to your
       class's "interfaces" list, like this:

         package MyLayout;
         use Gtk2;
         use Glib::Object::Subclass
             Gtk2::Widget::,
             interfaces => [ Gtk2::CellLayout:: ],
             ;

       This will cause perl to call several virtual methods with ALL_CAPS_NAMES when GTK+
       attempts to perform certain actions.  You simply provide (or override) those methods with
       perl code.  The methods map rather directly to the object interface, so it should be easy
       to figure out what they should do.  Those methods are:

       PACK_START ($cell_layout, $cell, $expand)
       PACK_END ($cell_layout, $cell, $expand)
       CLEAR ($cell_layout)
       ADD_ATTRIBUTE ($cell_layout, $cell, $attribute, $column)
       SET_CELL_DATA_FUNC ($cell_layout, $cell, $func, $data)
       CLEAR_ATTRIBUTES ($cell_layout, $cell)
       REORDER ($cell_layout, $cell, $position)
       list = GET_CELLS ($cell_layout)
