PyGTK - Frame Class

PyGTK - Frame Class


 Frame class is a subclass of the gtk.Bin class. It draws a decorative border around the child widget placed in it. The frame may contain a label whose position may be customized.
A gtk.Frame object is constructed with the help of the following constructor −
frame = gtk.Frame(label = None)
The following are the methods of the gtk.Frame() class −
  • set_label(text) − This sets the label as specified by text. If None, the current label is removed.
  • set_label_widget() − This sets a widget other than gtk.Label as label for frame.
  • set_label_align(x, y) − This sets the alignment of the frame's label widget and decoration (defaults are 0.0 and 0.5)
  • set_shadow_type() − This sets the frame's shadow type.
The possible values are −
  • gtk.SHADOW_NONE
  • gtk.SHADOW_IN
  • gtk.SHADOW_OUT
  • gtk.SHADOW_ETCHED_IN
  • tk.SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT
The following code demonstrates the functioning of the Frame widget. A group of three objects of gtk.RadioButton is placed in an HButtonBox.
btn1 = gtk.RadioButton(None,"Degree")
btn2 = gtk.RadioButton(btn1,"P.G.")
btn3 = gtk.RadioButton(btn1,"Doctorate")
hb = gtk.HButtonBox()
hb.add(btn1)
hb.add(btn2)
hb.add(btn3)
In order to draw border around the box, it is placed in a Frame widget, and it is added to the toplevel window.
frm = gtk.Frame()
frm.add(hb)
self.add(frm)

Example

Observe the following code −
import gtk
class PyApp(gtk.Window):
   def __init__(self):
      super(PyApp, self).__init__()
      self.set_title("Frame Demo")
      self.set_default_size(250, 200)
      self.set_border_width(5)
      frm = gtk.Frame()
      hb = gtk.HButtonBox()
      btn1 = gtk.RadioButton(None,"Degree")
      hb.add(btn1)
      btn2 = gtk.RadioButton(btn1,"P.G.")
      hb.add(btn2)
      btn3 = gtk.RadioButton(btn1,"Doctorate")
      hb.add(btn3)
      frm.add(hb)
      frm.set_label("Qualifications")
      self.add(frm)
      self.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit)
      self.show_all()
      if __name__ == '__main__':
PyApp()
gtk.main()
The above code will generate the following output −
Frame Demo
