It keeps you -- from having to learn about the other GTK+ containers, but it results in -- broken applications. With Gtk.Fixed.Gtk_Fixed, the following things will -- result in truncated text, overlapping widgets, and other display bugs: -- -- -- -- * Themes, which may change widget sizes. -- -- * Fonts other than the one you used to write the app will of course -- change the size of widgets containing text; keep in mind that users may use -- a larger font because of difficulty reading the default, or they may be -- using Windows or the framebuffer port of GTK+, where different fonts are -- available. -- -- * Translation of text into other languages changes its size. Also, -- display of non-English text will use a different font in many cases. -- -- In addition, the fixed widget can't properly be mirrored in right-to-left -- languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. i.e. normally GTK+ will flip the -- interface to put labels to the right of the thing they label, but it can't -- do that with Gtk.Fixed.Gtk_Fixed. So your application will not be usable in -- right-to-left languages. -- -- Finally, fixed positioning makes it kind of annoying to add/remove GUI -- elements, since you have to reposition all the other elements. This is a -- long-term maintenance problem for your application. -- -- If you know none of these things are an issue for your application, and -- prefer the simplicity of Gtk.Fixed.Gtk_Fixed, by all means use the widget. -- But you should be aware of the tradeoffs. -- -- </description> -- <screenshot>gtk-fixed</screenshot> -- <group>Layout containers</group> -- <testgtk>create_fixed.adb</testgtk> pragma Ada_2005; pragma Warnings (Off, "*is already use-visible*");
