In the following sample code, I have a 2 columns Gtk.Grid
that contains a Gtk.Switch
. How can I prevent this switch from filling the entire cell?
#!/bin/python3
import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk
class MyWindow(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="Foo")
self.set_border_width(12)
my_grid = Gtk.Grid()
my_grid.set_column_spacing(12)
my_grid.set_row_spacing(6)
self.add(my_grid)
first_label = Gtk.Label(label="a first label")
first_label.set_xalign(1)
my_grid.add(first_label)
my_button = Gtk.Button(label="a button quite large")
my_grid.add(my_button)
second_label = Gtk.Label(label="a second label")
second_label.set_xalign(1)
my_grid.attach(second_label, 0, 1, 1, 1)
my_switch = Gtk.Switch()
my_grid.attach(my_switch, 1, 1, 1, 1)
win = MyWindow()
win.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all()
Gtk.main()
Thanks!
What is happening there is that using attach():
my_grid.attach(my_switch, 1, 1, 1, 1)
will set the alignment flag to Gtk.Align.FILL
adding the following
my_switch.props.halign = Gtk.Align.START
Will make sure that the switch does not fill the whole space, you can use Gtk.Align.CENTER or Gtk.Align.END if you prefer.
