Implemented Interfaces

GwyDataView implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <libgwyui/gwyui.h>

Description

GwyDataView is a basic two-dimensional data display widget. The actual rendering is performed by one or more GwyDataViewLayer's, pluggable into the data view. Each layer generally displays different data field from the container supplied to gwy_data_view_new().

The size of a data view is affected by two factors: zoom and outer constraints. If an explicit size set by window manager or by Gtk+ means, the view scales the displayed data to fit into this size (while keeping x/y ratio). Zoom controlls the size a data view requests, and can be set with gwy_data_view_set_zoom().

Several helper functions are available for transformation between screen coordinates in the view and physical coordinates in the displayed data field: gwy_data_view_coords_widget_to_real(), gwy_data_view_get_xmeasure(), gwy_data_view_get_hexcess(), and others. Physical coordinates are always taken from data field displayed by base layer.

Functions

gwy_data_view_get_gradient (GwyDataView *view);

Gets the colour gradient use for data visualisation in a data view.

If no specific gradient has been set and the default one is used, the function returns NULL. This is consistent with getting the corresponding property. If you still need the GwyGradient object in such case, use gwy_gradients_get_gradient() with NULL argument.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

Returns

The current colour gradient, possibly NULL.

[transfer none][nullable]

Return the horizontal excess of widget size to data size.

Do not use. Only useful for GwyDataWindow implementation.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

Returns

The execess.


gwy_data_view_get_vexcess()

gdouble
gwy_data_view_get_vexcess (GwyDataView *view);

Returns

The execess.


gwy_data_view_get_zoom()

gdouble
gwy_data_view_get_zoom (GwyDataView *view);

Returns current ideal zoom of a data view.

More precisely the zoom value requested by gwy_data_view_set_zoom(), if it's in use (real zoom may differ a bit due to pixel rounding). If zoom was set by explicite widget size change, real and requested zoom are considered to be the same.

When a resize is queued, the new zoom value is returned.

In other words, this is the zoom view would like to have. Use gwy_data_view_get_real_zoom() to get the real zoom.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

Returns

The zoom as a ratio between ideal displayed size and base data field size.


gwy_data_view_set_zoom()

void
gwy_data_view_set_zoom (GwyDataView *view,
                        gdouble zoom);

Sets zoom of view to zoom .

Zoom greater than 1 means larger image on screen and vice versa.

Note window manager can prevent the window from resize and thus the zoom from change.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

zoom

A new zoom value.

 

gwy_data_view_get_real_zoom()

gdouble
gwy_data_view_get_real_zoom (GwyDataView *view);

Returns current real zoom of a data view.

This is the zoom value a data view may not wish to have, but was imposed by window manager or other constraints. Unlike ideal zoom set by gwy_data_view_set_zoom(), this value cannot be set.

When a resize is queued, the current (old) value is returned.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

Returns

The zoom as a ratio between real displayed size and base data field size.


gwy_data_view_coords_widget_clamp()

gboolean
gwy_data_view_coords_widget_clamp (GwyDataView *view,

gwy_data_view_set_resizable()

void
gwy_data_view_set_resizable (GwyDataView *view,
                             gboolean resizable);

Sets the resizeability of a data view.

By default, data views adapt to any size they get allocated and request very small minimum size. This is useful in data windows which should be freely resizeable, for instance.

Module dialogs usually have small fixed-size previews. The data view never grows, but could be still shrinked. In such case resizable should be set to FALSE to prevent the shrinking. The data view will then request minimum size according to zoom.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

resizable

TRUE to make the data view user-resizeable; FALSE to request fixed size according to the zoom.

 

gwy_data_view_get_pixel_data_sizes()

void
gwy_data_view_get_pixel_data_sizes (GwyDataView *view,
                                    gint *xres,
                                    gint *yres);

Obtains pixel dimensions of data displayed by a data view.

This is a convenience method, the same values could be obtained by gwy_data_field_get_xres() and gwy_data_field_get_yres() of the data field displayed by the base layer.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

xres

Location to store x-resolution of displayed data (or NULL).

 

yres

Location to store y-resolution of displayed data (or NULL).

 

gwy_data_view_get_real_data_sizes()

void
gwy_data_view_get_real_data_sizes (GwyDataView *view,
                                   gdouble *xreal,
                                   gdouble *yreal);

Obtains physical dimensions of data displayed by a data view.

Physical coordinates are always taken from data field displayed by the base layer. This is a convenience method, the same values could be obtained by gwy_data_field_get_xreal() and gwy_data_field_get_yreal() of the data field displayed by the base layer.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

xreal

Location to store physical x-dimension of the displayed data without excess (or NULL).

 

yreal

Location to store physical y-dimension of the displayed data without excess (or NULL).

 

gwy_data_view_get_metric()

void
gwy_data_view_get_metric (GwyDataView *view,
                          gdouble *metric);

Fills metric matrix for a data view.

The metric matrix essentially transforms distances in physical coordinates to screen distances. It is to be used with functions like gwy_math_find_nearest_point() and gwy_math_find_nearest_line() when the distance should be screen-Euclidean.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

metric

Metric matrix 2x2 (stored in sequentially by rows: m11, m12, m12, m22).

 

gwy_data_view_get_pixbuf()

GdkPixbuf *
gwy_data_view_get_pixbuf (GwyDataView *view,
                          gint max_width,
                          gint max_height);

Creates and returns a pixbuf from the data view.

If the data is not square, the resulting pixbuf is also nonsquare. The returned pixbuf also never has an alpha channel.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

max_width

Pixbuf width that should not be exceeeded. Value smaller than 1 means unlimited size.

 

max_height

Pixbuf height that should not be exceeeded. Value smaller than 1 means unlimited size.

 

Returns

The pixbuf as a newly created GdkPixbuf, it should be freed when no longer needed. It is never larger than the actual data size, as max_width and max_height are only upper limits.

gwy_data_view_set_named_cursor()

void
gwy_data_view_set_named_cursor (GwyDataView *view,
                                const gchar *name);

Sets the pointer cursor for a data view to a named cursor.

The cursor name is the same as one would pass to gdk_cursor_new_from_name().

The data view needs to be realised.

This function is intended for the implementation of editable data view layers. If an application sets the cursor, a data view layer will likely change it again soon.

Parameters

view

A data view.

 

name

A cursor name, or NULL.

Signal Details

The “redrawn” signal

void
user_function (GwyDataView *gwydataview,
               gpointer     user_data)

The ::redrawn signal is emitted when GwyDataView redraws pixbufs after an update. That is, when it's the right time to get a new pixbuf from gwy_data_view_get_pixbuf().

Parameters

gwydataview

The GwyDataView which received the signal.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First


The “resized” signal

void
user_function (GwyDataView *gwydataview,
               gpointer     user_data)

The ::resized signal is emitted when GwyDataView wants to be resized, that is when the dimensions of base data field changes or square mode is changed.
