How do you rotate a gtk widget?

Let's say the widget in question is a VBox containing a Label and two Buttons.

Furthermore, let's say the degree of rotation desired is 90°.

How does one go about rotating it? I do not think this is possible by default but I do think it is possible.

However, I have no idea how to get started. Do I write a custom widget? What do I subclass?

Solution

  • You can fake it like this:

    label.set_angle(90)
button1.get_child().set_angle(90) # assuming it's not a stock button
button2.get_child().set_angle(90)
vbox.set_orientation(gtk.ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL)
