Introduction

1.1 Introduction
Gtk+ The Gimp Toolkit is a library for creating GUI applications, It uses
the xlib which is the main library for GUI. Gtk+ works on many UNIX-like
platforms as Linux, BSD, and it also runs on Windows and MacOSX.
Gtk+ is released unders the terms of the GNU library General Public License
(LGPL), which means that is free and open source library, and you can
modify it as you like under the terms of LGPL license. Gtk+ ues a C-based
object-oriented architecture, it also can be used by other languages rather
than C, including C++, Objective-C, Guile/Scheme, Perl, Pythin, TOM,
Ada95, Pascal and Eiffel.
For more information and advanced topics you should consult the Gtk+
manual reference found at : http://www.gtk.org

1.2 Requirements for this book

1. A UNIX-like box as Linux or BSD

2. Xlib: Xfree86 or Xorg

3. Glib, Pango, ATK, GdkPixbuf, Gdk, Gtk+

4. GCC

Mostly every Linux distribution includes those requirements.

10 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

1.3 Compiling The Examples

For compiling the examples in this book you can change to the directory con-
taining the example and just type make, or you can compile them manually
by typing the following:

cc pkgconfig cflags libs gtk + 2.0 example . c o example

Note: to run this program just type:

. / example

And not

example

Like Dos/Windows platform, which indicates that the executable is in the

current directory, because the current directory isnt included in the path.
Note: you should consult the Gtk+ manual reference located at:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/index.html

1.4 Outline of the book

Each chapter talks about a certain Gtk+ Widget (Object), where it starts
by the description of the used functions and then the implementation of the
example. In the last chapter we will write a small text editor, which you can
modify its code freely and expand it according to your needs.
Chapter 2

Windows

2.1 Description
Every object in Gtk+ is called Widget and every widget has its type.
We use gtk set locale() function for the Initialization of the international-
ization support for Gtk+. gtk init() will initialize everything needed to op-
erate Gtk+ and parses some standard command line options: argc, argv.
gtk widget show all() which shows the widget with all of its components.
And gtk main() which runs the Gtk main loop till gtk main quit() is called.
These functions are very important functions and will be used in all of the
examples included in this book.

GtkWidget gtk_ window_n ew ( GtkWindowType type ) ;

This function creates a Gtk+ toplevel window and returns its handle.

v o i d g t k _ w i n d o w _ s e t _ t i t l e ( GtkWindow window , c o n s t gchar title ) ;

This function sets the title of the GtkWindow.

v o i d g t k _ w i n d o w _ s e t _ p o s i t i o n ( GtkWindow window , G t k W i n d o w P o s i t i o n position-

);

this function is used to set the position of the Gtk+ window.

v o i d g t k _ w i n d o w _ s e t _ d e f a u l t _ s i z e ( GtkWindow window , gint width , gint -

height ) ;

this function is used to set the default size of the Gtk+ window.

11
 12 CHAPTER 2. WINDOWS

GTK_WINDOW ( )

A macro which casts the GtkWidget window as GtkWindow.

Gtk+ window positions

GTK WIN POS CENTER

GTK WIN POS MOUSE

GTK WIN POS CENTER ALWAYS

The first one sets the window position to the center of the screen, the second
one sets the window position under the mouse cursor, while the third keep
the window centred even its size changed.

Text View

5.1 Description
Text Views are widgets used to enter multi line text unlike text entries with
just one line.

GtkWidget g t k _ t e x t _ v i e w _ n e w ( v o i d ) ;

This function creates a new text view.

v o i d g t k _ t e x t _ v i e w _ s e t _ b u f f e r ( GtkTextView text_view , GtkTextBuffer -

buffer ) ;

Buffer is a place for storing the text of the text view in it.
This function sets the buffer of the text view.

GtkTextBuffer g t k _ t e x t _ b u f f e r _ n e w ( G tk Te xt T ag Ta bl e table ) ;

This function creates a new text buffer which can be used with a text view.

v o i d g t k _ t e x t _ b u f f e r _ s e t _ t e x t ( GtkTextBuffer buffer , c o n s t gchar text , -

gint len ) ;

This function is used to set the text stored in the text buffer.

gchar g t k _ t e x t _ b u f f e r _ g e t _ t e x t ( GtkTextbuffer buffer , c o n s t GtkTextIter -

start , GtkText Iter end , gboolean i n c l u d e _ h i d d e n _ c h a r s ) ;

This function is used to get the text stored in a text buffer, where GtkTex-
tIter is widget used to store a position in a text buffer, so start points to the

21
 22 CHAPTER 5. TEXT VIEW

start of buffer and end points to the end of the buffer which we get text from
it.

Another two important functions

v o i d g t k _ t e x t _ b u f f e r _ g e t _ s t a r t _ i t e r ( GtkTextBuffer buffer , GtkTextIter -

iter ) ;

This function gets the start iter of a GtkTextBuffer.

v o i d g t k _ t e x t _ b u f f e r _ g e t _ e n d _ i t e r ( GtkTextBuffer buffer , GtkTextIter iter-

);

This function gets the end iter of a GtkTextbuffer.

Buttons

6.1 Description
Buttons are widgets that you click on them to proceed something.

GtkWidget gtk_ button_n ew ( v o i d ) ;

This function creates a new button.

GtkWidget g t k _ b u t t o n _ n e w _ w i t h _ l a b e l ( c o n s t gchar label ) ;

This function creates a new button with label.

Note: label can be changed later.

GtkWidget g t k _ b u t t o n _ n e w _ f r o m _ s t o c k ( c o n s t gchar stock_id ) ;

This function creates a new button, by coping it from the Gtk stock, this
button usually contains a predefined image.

GtkWidget gtk \ _ b u t t o n _ n e w _ w i t h _ m n e m o n i c ( c o n s t gchar label ) ;

This function creates a new button with label but if the label is preceded by
underscore the following later will be underlined, this underlined character
represents a keyboard accelerator called a mnemonic. Pressing Alt and that
key activates the button.

Boxes

11.1 Description
What about adding more than widget to the same window ?
Boxes are widgets which enables you to add more than widget to a window.

GtkWidget gtk_hbox_new ( gboolean homogenous , gint spacing ) ;

This function creates a horizontal box where widgets are added horizontally,
setting homogeneous into true makes all children are to be given equal space
allotments, the spacing is the number of pixels to place by default between
children widgets.

GtkWidget gtk_vbox_new ( gboolean homogeneous , gint spacing ) ;

This function creates a vertical box where widgets are added vertically.

v o i d g t k _ b o x _ p a c k _ s t a r t ( GtkBox box , GtkWidget child , gboolean exapand , -

gboolean fill , guint padding ) ;

This function adds a child widget to the box, if expand is set to true the child
will be given extra space allocated to box, this space will be divided evenly
between all children of box, if fill is set to true the space given to child by
the expand option is actually allocated to child, rather than just padding it.
This parameter has no effect if expand is set to FALSE, padding is the extra
space in pixels to put between this child and its neighbours.

Tables

12.1 Description
Tables are widgets used to attack child widgets to parent ones, tables differ
from boxes where tables can add widgets beside each other and upwards each
others , which means table is able to add widgets horizontally and vertically
at the same time.

GtkWidget gtk_table_new ( guint rows , guint columns , gboolean homogeneous ) ;

This function creates a new table where rows is the number of rows and
columns is the number of columns of this table, while if homogeneous is set
into true which makes all children are to be given equal space allotments, the
spacing is the number of pixels to place by default between children widgets.

left attach: The column number to attach the left side of the child
widget to.

GtkWidget g t k _ f o n t _ s e l e c t i o n _ d i a l o g _ n e w ( c o n s t gchar title ) ;

This function creates font selection dialog with title.

gchar g t k _ f o n t _ s e l e c t i o n _ d i a l o g _ g e t _ f o n t _ n a m e ( G t k F o n t S e l e c t i o n D i a l o g fsd-
);

This function gets the name of the selected font.

P a n g o F o n t D e s c r i p t i o n p a n g o _ f o n t _ d e s c r i p t i o n _ f r o m _ s t r i n g ( c o n s t c h a r str ) ;

This function returns a pango font description from the string containing the
font name, pango is one of Gtk+ required libraries responsible for font stuff.

v o i d g t k _ w i d g e t _ m o d i f y _ f o n t ( GtkWidget widget , P a n g o F o n t D e s c r i p t i o n -
