Overview

GtkIconView is a widget which displays data in a grid of icons.

GtkIconView provides an alternative view on a GtkTreeModel. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like [classGtk.TreeView], it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see [methodGtk.IconView.set_selection_mode]). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, GtkIconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

Note that if the tree model is backed by an actual tree store (as opposed to a flat list where the mapping to icons is obvious), GtkIconView will only display the first level of the tree and ignore the tree’s branches.

CSS nodes

iconview.view
╰── [rubberband]

GtkIconView has a single CSS node with name iconview and style class .view. For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.

#scroll_to_path(path, use_align, row_align, col_align) ⇒ nil

Moves the alignments of icon_view to the position specified by path. row_align determines where the row is placed, and col_align determines where column is placed. Both are expected to be between 0.0 and 1.0. 0.0 means left/top alignment, 1.0 means right/bottom alignment, 0.5 means center.

If use_align is false, then the alignment arguments are ignored, and the tree does the minimum amount of work to scroll the item onto the screen. This means that the item will be scrolled to the edge closest to its current position. If the item is currently visible on the screen, nothing is done.

This function only works if the model is set, and path is a valid row on the model. If the model changes before the icon_view is realized, the centered path will be modified to reflect this change.

Parameters:

  • path (Gtk::TreePath) —

    The path of the item to move to.

  • use_align (Boolean) —

Parameters:

  • path (Gtk::TreePath) —

    The GtkTreePath to be selected.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#selected_foreach(func, data) ⇒ nil

Calls a function for each selected icon. Note that the model or selection cannot be modified from within this function.

Parameters:

    The function to call for each selected icon.

  • data (GObject) —

    User data to pass to the function.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#selected_items ⇒ GLib::List<Gtk::TreePath>

Creates a list of paths of all selected items. Additionally, if you are planning on modifying the model after calling this function, you may want to convert the returned list into a list of GtkTreeRowReferences. To do this, you can use gtk_tree_row_reference_new().

To free the return value, use g_list_free_full:

GtkWidget *icon_view = gtk_icon_view_new ();
// Use icon_view

GList *list = gtk_icon_view_get_selected_items (GTK_ICON_VIEW (icon_view));

// use list

g_list_free_full (list, (GDestroyNotify) gtk_tree_path_free);

Returns:

  • (GLib::List<Gtk::TreePath>) —

    A GList containing a GtkTreePath for each selected row.

If cell is not nil, then focus is given to the cell specified by it. Additionally, if start_editing is true, then editing should be started in the specified cell.

This function is often followed by gtk_widget_grab_focus (icon_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.

Parameters:

  • path (Gtk::TreePath) —

    A GtkTreePath
