Is there a way to change direction of Gtk.Window
in sample code below and make it Right to Left? i tried to change it with gravity but didn't worked.
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk
class MainWindow(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="DEMO")
self.set_position(Gtk.WindowPosition.CENTER)
self.set_gravity(Gdk.Gravity.NORTH_EAST)
grid = Gtk.Grid()
self.add(grid)
button1 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 1")
button2 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 2")
button3 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 3")
button4 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 4")
button5 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 5")
button6 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 6")
grid.add(button1)
grid.attach(button2, 1, 0, 2, 1)
grid.attach_next_to(button3, button1, Gtk.PositionType.BOTTOM, 1, 2)
grid.attach_next_to(button4, button3, Gtk.PositionType.RIGHT, 2, 1)
grid.attach(button5, 1, 2, 1, 1)
grid.attach_next_to(button6, button5, Gtk.PositionType.RIGHT, 1, 1)
win = MainWindow()
win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all()
Gtk.main()
Try this:
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk
class MainWindow(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="DEMO")
self.set_position(Gtk.WindowPosition.CENTER)
self.set_gravity(Gdk.Gravity.NORTH_EAST)
self.set_direction(Gtk.TextDirection.RTL)
grid = Gtk.Grid()
grid.set_halign(Gtk.Align.END)
grid.set_direction(Gtk.TextDirection.RTL)
self.add(grid)
button1 = Gtk.Label(label="Button 1")
button1.set_halign(Gtk.Align.START)
button1.set_direction(Gtk.TextDirection.RTL)
button2 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 2")
button3 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 3")
button4 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 4")
button5 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 5")
button6 = Gtk.Button(label="Button 6")
grid.add(button1)
grid.attach(button2, 1, 0, 2, 1)
grid.attach_next_to(button3, button1, Gtk.PositionType.BOTTOM, 1, 2)
grid.attach_next_to(button4, button3, Gtk.PositionType.RIGHT, 2, 1)
grid.attach(button5, 1, 2, 1, 1)
grid.attach_next_to(button6, button5, Gtk.PositionType.RIGHT, 1, 1)
win = MainWindow()
win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all()
Gtk.main()
By the way, you can easily figure stuff like this out by using Glade to create a mockup.
Edit: according to this answer, you would change the direction. It didn't work for me, but maybe my language settings have something to do with it.
