compute_expand


Description:

public bool compute_expand (Orientation orientation)

Computes whether a container should give this widget extra space when possible.

Containers should check this, rather than looking at [method@Gtk.Widget.get_hexpand] or [method@Gtk.Widget.get_vexpand].

This function already checks whether the widget is visible, so visibility does not need to be checked separately. Non-visible widgets are not expanded.

The computed expand value uses either the expand setting explicitly set on the widget itself, or, if none has been explicitly set, the widget may expand if some of its children do.

Parameters:

this

the widget

orientation

expand direction

Returns:

whether widget tree rooted here should be expanded
