Class VGrade


Widget that shows a zoomable, scrollable vertical scale.

This class is a composite megawidget in the form of a graduated, interactive vertical numerical scale that is both zoomable and scrollable. The zoom is adjusted by dragging in the scale region of the widget to the left, whereas the widget can be scrolled by dragging in the trackbar on the right. Both regions of the widget hilight when the mouse is moved over them, to hint to the user that interaction is possible.

The widget is composed of a VGradeZoom widget and a gtk.DrawingArea widget. These widgets are packaged within a gtk.HBox widget.

The data model of the VGrade widget is a gtk.Adjustment object. The interpretation of the adjustment is as follows: The value of the adjustment is the minimum value displayed on the widget. The maximum value displayed on the widget is the value plus the page_size of the adjustment. The widget will not allow the user to change the adjustment so that any part of the display lies outside the range from the lower to upper values of the adjustment.

The underlying gtk.HBox widget container can be accessed via the special widget attribute. This attribute cannot be changed nor deleted.
