IconView
GtkIconView
is a widget which displays data in a grid of icons.
GtkIconView
provides an alternative view on a GtkTreeModel
. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like class@Gtk.TreeView, it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see method@Gtk.IconView.set_selection_mode). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, GtkIconView
supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.
Note that if the tree model is backed by an actual tree store (as opposed to a flat list where the mapping to icons is obvious), GtkIconView
will only display the first level of the tree and ignore the tree’s branches.
CSS nodes
iconview.view
╰── [rubberband]
GtkIconView
has a single CSS node with name iconview and style class .view. For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.

Constructors
Properties
The accessible role of the given GtkAccessible
implementation.
The activate-on-single-click property specifies whether the "item-activated" signal will be emitted after a single click.
The column-spacing property specifies the space which is inserted between the columns of the icon view.
A list of css classes applied to this widget.
Whether the widget should grab focus when it is clicked with the mouse.
Horizontal GtkAdjustment
of the scrollable widget.
Enables or disables the emission of the ::query-tooltip signal on @widget.
Whether to use the hexpand
property.
Determines when horizontal scrolling should start.
The item-orientation property specifies how the cells (i.e. the icon and the text) of the item are positioned relative to each other.
The item-padding property specifies the padding around each of the icon view's item.
The GtkLayoutManager
instance to use to compute the preferred size of the widget, and allocate its children.
Margin on bottom side of widget.
Margin on start of widget, horizontally.
The ::markup-column property contains the number of the model column containing markup information to be displayed. The markup column must be of type G_TYPE_STRING
. If this property and the :text-column property are both set to column numbers, it overrides the text column. If both are set to -1, no texts are displayed.
The ::pixbuf-column property contains the number of the model column containing the pixbufs which are displayed. The pixbuf column must be of type GDK_TYPE_PIXBUF
. Setting this property to -1 turns off the display of pixbufs.
Whether the widget will receive the default action when it is focused.
The reorderable property specifies if the items can be reordered by DND.
The row-spacing property specifies the space which is inserted between the rows of the icon view.
The scale factor of the widget.
The ::selection-mode property specifies the selection mode of icon view. If the mode is %GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE, rubberband selection is enabled, for the other modes, only keyboard selection is possible.
The ::text-column property contains the number of the model column containing the texts which are displayed. The text column must be of type G_TYPE_STRING
. If this property and the :markup-column property are both set to -1, no texts are displayed.
The column of the icon view model which is being used for displaying tooltips on it's rows.

This function is a convenience function to allow you to reorder models that support the GtkTreeDragSourceIface
and the GtkTreeDragDestIface
. Both GtkTreeStore
and GtkListStore
support these. If @reorderable is true, then the user can reorder the model by dragging and dropping rows. The developer can listen to these changes by connecting to the model's row_inserted and row_deleted signals. The reordering is implemented by setting up the icon view as a drag source and destination. Therefore, drag and drop can not be used in a reorderable view for any other purpose.
Sets the ::row-spacing property which specifies the space which is inserted between the rows of the icon view.
Sets the selection mode of the @icon_view.

.
Sets the tip area of @tooltip to the area which @cell occupies in the item pointed to by @path. See also gtk_tooltip_set_tip_area().
If you only plan to have simple (text-only) tooltips on full items, you can use this function to have GtkIconView
handle these automatically for you. @column should be set to the column in @icon_view’s model containing the tooltip texts, or -1 to disable this feature.
Sets the tip area of @tooltip to be the area covered by the item at @path. See also gtk_icon_view_set_tooltip_column() for a simpler alternative. See also gtk_tooltip_set_tip_area().
Sets @markup as the contents of the tooltip, which is marked up with Pango markup.
