Implemented Interfaces

CtkArrow implements AtkImplementorIface and CtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <ctk/ctk.h>

Description

CtkArrow should be used to draw simple arrows that need to point in one of the four cardinal directions (up, down, left, or right). The style of the arrow can be one of shadow in, shadow out, etched in, or etched out. Note that these directions and style types may be amended in versions of CTK+ to come.

CtkArrow will fill any space alloted to it, but since it is inherited from CtkMisc, it can be padded and/or aligned, to fill exactly the space the programmer desires.

Arrows are created with a call to ctk_arrow_new(). The direction or style of an arrow can be changed after creation by using ctk_arrow_set().

CtkArrow has been deprecated; you can simply use a CtkImage with a suitable icon name, such as “pan-down-symbolic“. When replacing CtkArrow by an image, pay attention to the fact that CtkArrow is doing automatic flipping between CTK_ARROW_LEFT and CTK_ARROW_RIGHT, depending on the text direction. To get the same effect with an image, use the icon names “pan-start-symbolic“ and “pan-end-symbolic“, which react to the text direction.
