# `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](levelbar.png)
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
```c
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.
### `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.
### `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.
