Description

GtkTable is a container that provides a simple way of aligning many widgets in a window, both horizontally and vertically. Although not as flexible as GtkFixed, it's easier to use and allows for relative positioning, by simply defining the number of rows and columns. The resulting cells have a structure similar to that of a GtkBox, allowing a single child per cell, though the child can span along multiple rows or columns.

Adding widgets to a GtkTable is mainly done through the attach() method, that provides a great deal of control over the way the child should be placed within the table. The attach_defaults() and add() methods are of lesser interest. To remove a widget from the table, you can use remove() .

Accessing child widgets placed within a GtkTable can be done through the get_children() method, inherited from GtkContainer. It returns a list of the container's children.
