GtkIconView Constructor

GtkIconView ();

Creates a new GtkIconView instance. To make it actually display something, you need to add a data model (e.g. a GtkListStore) and some scroll bars.

Example 74. GtkIconView filled with stock icons

<?php
//GtkIconView example
$wnd = new GtkWindow();
$wnd->set_title('GtkIconView');
$wnd->set_default_size(400, 400);
$wnd->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk', 'main_quit'));

$iv = new GtkIconView();

$model = new GtkListStore(GdkPixbuf::gtype, Gtk::TYPE_STRING);
$iv->set_model($model);

//fill the model with some nice icons
$ids = Gtk::stock_list_ids();
sort($ids);
foreach ($ids as $id) {
    $pixbuf = $iv->render_icon($id, Gtk::ICON_SIZE_DIALOG);
    $model->set($model->append(), 0, $pixbuf, 1, $id);
}

$iv->set_pixbuf_column(0);
$iv->set_text_column(1);

//number of columns in view, not model
$iv->set_columns(0);
$iv->set_item_width(100);

//make it scrollable
$scrollwin = new GtkScrolledWindow();
$scrollwin->set_policy(
    Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC,
    Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC
);
$scrollwin->add($iv);

$wnd->add($scrollwin);
$wnd->show_all();
Gtk::main();
?>
