As a TL;DR, I’m trying to implement a layout like this:
Every box is the same height, but a dynamic width; the number of widgets per row is also dynamic. These widgets in my case are always GtkPicture
s.
I’ve looked through GTK4’s layout containers, and it seems like GtkFlowBox
is the best, but I’ve struggled to wrangle it.
The furthest I’ve gotten is with something like this:
<object class="GtkFlowBox">
<property name="max-children-per-line">3</property>
<property name="min-children-per-line">3</property>
<child>
<object class="GtkFlowBoxChild">
<child>
<object class="GtkPicture">
<property name="file">..</property>
</object>
</child>
</object>
</child>
[.. above repeated n times ..]
</object>
This appears to work, at least in Cambalache, but the images are scaled to that their widths are equal, rather than their heights, and only min-children-per-line
images will fill each line. Given the opportunity, every image is put on its own row.
Thanks in advance!
