Implemented Interfaces

goocanvas.Widget implements goocanvas.Item

Description

goocanvas.Widget provides support for placing any GtkWidget in the canvas. Note that there are a number of limitations in the use of GooCanvasWidget: It doesn't support any transformation besides simple translation. This means you can't scale a canvas with a GooCanvasWidget in it. It doesn't support layering, so you can't place other items beneath or above the GooCanvasWidget. It doesn't support rendering of widgets to a given cairo_t, which means you can't output the widget to a pdf or postscript file. It doesn't have a model/view variant like the other standard items, so it can only be used in a simple canvas without a model.

A comma separated properties as **kwargs.

Here's an example showing how to create an entry widget centered at (100.0, 100.0): 

entry = gtk.Entry()
ellipse = goocanvas.Widget(parent = root,
                           widget = entry,
                           x = 100,
                           y = 100,
                           width = -1,
                           height = -1,
                           anchor = gtk.ANCHOR_CENTER)
