  • too much spaces with Gtk.Button.Set_Image

    From Thomas@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 3 23:39:26 2022
    hi :-)


    i want to make an Image Button without text and without large borders.



    when i use Gtk.Button.Set_Image, it makes spaces at 3 sides, and the
    Image overflows at the 4th.
    it depends on Gtk.Button.Get_Image_Position : it overflows at the side
    where it would have been the text.


    Gtk.Box.Get_Spacing (Get_Child (Get_Child (My_Button))) returns 2,
    but Gtk.Box.Set_Spacing (Get_Child (Get_Child (My_Button))))), 0) does
    not resolve the pb.

    Gtk.Container.Get_Border_Width on any level of child of My_Button
    returns 0.


    i don't find how to remove these spaces.



    do you think i should use Gtk.Container.Add instead of
    Gtk.Button.Set_Image ?

    previous authors have done that, but I feel like it's kind of a hack,
    and I don't like it very much...

    i gone back to Gtk.Container.Add.

    it doesn't more overflow at the 4th side, and that's a good thing,
    but i don't understand what's wrong with Gtk.Button.Set_Image.


    i was wrong telling "too much spaces with Gtk.Button.Set_Image",
    because it's not Set_Image which causes the spaces,
    but it's the use of a Gtk_Image instead of a Gtk_Pixmap.

    i don't understand more what's the difference between Gtk_Image and
    Gtk_Pixmap.

    Gtk.Misc.Get_Padding returns 0 0.
    i have no other idea now.


    it's better with Add than with Set_Image,
    but it's not very nice because RAPID has not exactly the same behavior
    with Gtk and with TclTk.
    (2*4 pixels in a small button (27 pixels) is a big part.)

    i cannot revert to Gtk_Pixmap because it is Obsolescent.

    so i still need help, please :-)
