Implemented Interfaces

GwyAxis implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <libgwydgets/gwydgets.h>

Description

GwyAxis is used for drawing axis. It is namely used within GwyGraph widget, but it can be also used standalone. It plots a horizontal or vertical axis with major and minor ticks, with ranges in the requested interval.

Functions

GtkWidget *
gwy_axis_new (gint orientation);

Creates a new axis.

Parameters

orientation

axis orientation

 

Returns

New axis as a GtkWidget.
