Align

Description:

[ CCode ( cprefix = "GTK_ALIGN_" , type_id = "gtk_align_get_type ()" ) ]
public enum Align

Controls how a widget deals with extra space in a single dimension.

Alignment only matters if the widget receives a “too large” allocation, for example if you packed the widget with the [ property@Gtk.Widget:hexpand] property inside a [class@Box], then the widget might get extra space. If you have for example a 16x16 icon inside a 32x32 space, the icon could be scaled and stretched, it could be centered, or it could be positioned to one side of the space.

Note that in horizontal context `GTK_ALIGN_START` and `GTK_ALIGN_END` are interpreted relative to text direction.

Baseline support is optional for containers and widgets, and is only available for vertical alignment. `GTK_ALIGN_BASELINE_CENTER and `GTK_ALIGN_BASELINE_FILL` are treated similar to `GTK_ALIGN_CENTER` and `GTK_ALIGN_FILL`, except that it positions the widget to line up the baselines, where that is supported.
