## Detailed Description

A container which arranges its child widgets in rows and columns.

It is a very similar to Table and Box, but it consistently uses Widget's margin and expand properties instead of custom child properties, and it fully supports height-for-width geometry management.

Children are added using attach(). They can span multiple rows or columns. It is also possible to add a child next to an existing child, using attach_next_to().

Grid can be used like a Box by just using Gtk::Container::add(), which will place children next to each other in the direction determined by the orientation property.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

## Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::Grid::attach | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | int | left,
|  | int | top,
|  | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |  |

Adds a widget to the grid.

The position of child is determined by left and top. The number of 'cells' that child will occupy is determined by width and height.

Parameters:

  child | The widget to add.
  left | The column number to attach the left side of child to.
  top | The row number to attach the top side of child to.
  width | The number of columns that child will span.
  height | The number of rows that child will span.

void Gtk::Grid::attach_next_to | ( | Widget& | child,
|  | Widget& | sibling,
|  | PositionType | side,
|  | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |  |

Adds a widget to the grid.

The widget is placed next to sibling, on the side determined by side.

Parameters:

  child | The widget to add.
  sibling | The child of grid that child will be placed next to.
  side | The side of sibling that child is positioned next to.
  width | The number of columns that child will span.
  height | The number of rows that child will span.

bool Gtk::Grid::get_column_homogeneous | ( |  | ) | const

bool Gtk::Grid::get_row_homogeneous | ( |  | ) | const

Returns whether all rows of grid have the same height.

Returns:
  Whether all rows of grid have the same height.

guint Gtk::Grid::get_row_spacing | ( |  | ) | const
