STRUCT

LevelBar

GtkLevelBar is a widget that can be used as a level indicator.

Typical use cases are displaying the strength of a password, or showing the charge level of a battery.

An example GtkLevelBar

Use [method@Gtk.LevelBar.set_value] to set the current value, and [method@Gtk.LevelBar.add_offset_value] to set the value offsets at which the bar will be considered in a different state. GTK will add a few offsets by default on the level bar: %GTK_LEVEL_BAR_OFFSET_LOW, %GTK_LEVEL_BAR_OFFSET_HIGH and %GTK_LEVEL_BAR_OFFSET_FULL, with values 0.25, 0.75 and 1.0 respectively.

Note that it is your responsibility to update preexisting offsets when changing the minimum or maximum value. GTK will simply clamp them to the new range.

Adding a custom offset on the bar

static GtkWidget *
create_level_bar (void)
{
GtkWidget *widget;
GtkLevelBar *bar;

widget = gtk_level_bar_new ();
bar = GTK_LEVEL_BAR (widget);

// This changes the value of the default low offset

gtk_level_bar_add_offset_value (bar,
GTK_LEVEL_BAR_OFFSET_LOW,
0.10);

// This adds a new offset to the bar; the application will
// be able to change its color CSS like this:
//
// levelbar block.my-offset {
//   background-color: magenta;
//   border-style: solid;
//   border-color: black;
//   border-width: 1px;
// }

gtk_level_bar_add_offset_value (bar, "my-offset", 0.60);

return widget;
}

The default interval of values is between zero and one, but its possible to modify the interval using [method@Gtk.LevelBar.set_min_value] and [method@Gtk.LevelBar.set_max_value]. The value will be always drawn in proportion to the admissible interval, i.e. a value of 15 with a specified interval between 10 and 20 is equivalent to a value of 0.5 with an interval between 0 and 1. When %GTK_LEVEL_BAR_MODE_DISCRETE is used, the bar level is rendered as a finite number of separated blocks instead of a single one. The number of blocks that will be rendered is equal to the number of units specified by the admissible interval.

For instance, to build a bar rendered with five blocks, its sufficient to set the minimum value to 0 and the maximum value to 5 after changing the indicator mode to discrete.

GtkLevelBar as GtkBuildable

The GtkLevelBar implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports a custom <offsets> element, which can contain any number of <offset> elements, each of which must have "name" and "value" attributes.

CSS nodes

levelbar[.discrete]
╰── trough
├── block.filled.level-name
┊
├── block.empty
┊

GtkLevelBar has a main CSS node with name levelbar and one of the style classes .discrete or .continuous and a subnode with name trough. Below the trough node are a number of nodes with name block and style class .filled or .empty. In continuous mode, there is exactly one node of each, in discrete mode, the number of filled and unfilled nodes corresponds to blocks that are drawn. The block.filled nodes also get a style class .level-name corresponding to the level for the current value.

In horizontal orientation, the nodes are always arranged from left to right, regardless of text direction.

Accessibility

GtkLevelBar uses the %GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_METER role.

Properties

updateFunctions

Additional update functions for type extensions.

appearFunctions

Additional appear functions for type extensions.

accessibleRole

The accessible role of the given GtkAccessible implementation.

The accessible role cannot be changed once set.

inverted

Whether the GtkLeveBar is inverted.

Level bars normally grow from top to bottom or left to right. Inverted level bars grow in the opposite direction.

maxValue

Determines the maximum value of the interval that can be displayed by the bar.

minValue

Determines the minimum value of the interval that can be displayed by the bar.

value

Determines the currently filled value of the level bar.

offsetChanged

Emitted when an offset specified on the bar changes value.

This typically is the result of a [method@Gtk.LevelBar.add_offset_value] call.

The signal supports detailed connections; you can connect to the detailed signal "changed::x" in order to only receive callbacks when the value of offset "x" changes.

app

The application.

window

The window.

Methods

init()

Initialize LevelBar.

container(modifiers:)

Get the widget's view storage.

  • Parameter modifiers: The view modifiers.
  • Returns: The view storage.

update(_:modifiers:updateProperties:)

Update the widget's view storage.

  • Parameters:
    • storage: The view storage.
    • modifiers: The view modifiers.
    • updateProperties: Whether to update the view's properties.

accessibleRole(_:)

The accessible role of the given GtkAccessible implementation.

The accessible role cannot be changed once set.

inverted(_:)

Whether the GtkLeveBar is inverted.

Level bars normally grow from top to bottom or left to right. Inverted level bars grow in the opposite direction.

maxValue(_:)

Determines the maximum value of the interval that can be displayed by the bar.

minValue(_:)

Determines the minimum value of the interval that can be displayed by the bar.

value(_:)

Determines the currently filled value of the level bar.

offsetChanged(_:)

Emitted when an offset specified on the bar changes value.

This typically is the result of a [method@Gtk.LevelBar.add_offset_value] call.

The signal supports detailed connections; you can connect to the detailed signal "changed::x" in order to only receive callbacks when the value of offset "x" changes.
