Detailed Description

A container for packing widgets in a single row or column.

The Gtk::Box widget arranges child widgets into a single row or column, depending upon the value of its Gtk::Orientable::property_orientation() property. Within the other dimension, all children are allocated the same size. Of course, Gtk::Widget::set_halign() and Gtk::Widget::set_valign() can be used on the children to influence their allocation.

Use repeated calls to append() to pack widgets into a Gtk::Box from start to end. Use remove() to remove widgets from the Gtk::Box. insert_child_after() can be used to add a child at a particular position.

Use set_homogeneous() to specify whether or not all children of the Gtk::Box are forced to get the same amount of space.

Use set_spacing() to determine how much space will be minimally placed between all children in the Gtk::Box. Note that spacing is added between the children.

Use reorder_child_after() and reorder_child_at_start() to move a child to a different place in the box.
